Hello there! We understand your inquiry about your LG DLG6101W gas dryer. For proper installation and service access, please observe the following clearances based on the specifications: Back Clearance: Minimum 5 in. (127 mm) Side Clearance: Minimum 1 in. (25 mm) on each side Overhead Clearance: Minimum 18 in. (457 mm) between the top of the dryer and any cabinet or shelving Depth: Dryer depth is 29½ in. (750 mm); ensure the closet opening accommodates this plus the back clearance. For a laundry closet with a door, you’ll also need ventilation openings in the door itself to prevent heat and moisture buildup: Upper Vent Opening: ≥ 48 sq in. (310 cm²), installed no lower than 6 ft. above the floor Lower Vent Opening: ≥ 24 sq in. (155 cm²), installed no more than 1 ft. above the floor. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-7-3-cu-ft-gas-dryer-with-sensor-dry-white/6529907.p?skuId=6529907 If you need further guidance or assistance with your installation, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport and our team will be more than happy to explore possible solutions.
