Q: QuestionI have limited depth to work with - how much additional clearance is needed in the rear for installation? Can this fit installed in an area with 32 inches of depth?

Asked 2 years ago by jmb22.

This question was asked about the related product: LG - 7.3 Cu. Ft. Smart Electric Dryer with EasyLoad Door - White

• A:Answer I recently purchased this same dryer. The closest that I could get it located against the back wall has it sticking out around 34 to 34.5". My venting is through the floor, so the diameter of the vent hose determines how close it can be installed, plus any baseboard. It still might be the same if your venting connect is coming through the back wall, although you may not have a baseboard to deal with, you'll still need to allow space for the vent hose to be turned to line up with the vent. The photo shows the installation looking straight down behind the dryer. Hope this helps.

Q: QuestionI don’t understand why the energy saver mode blows cold air yet runs longer? I can’t find anything about that in the manual. Thank you!

Asked 3 years ago by Eric.

This question was asked about the related product: LG - 7.3 Cu. Ft. Smart Electric Dryer with EasyLoad Door - White

• A:Answer Hi, Energy Saver-- This option helps to reduce energy consumption in the Normal cycle, depending on the load size. When the Energy Saver option is selected, the cycle begins with an air dry section and the drying time is increased. The Energy Saver option is turned on by default in the Normal cycle. Turn off the Energy Saver option for a faster Normal cycle which begins with heated drying. This option allows the Energy Saver settings to be changed. To run a Normal cycle without the Energy Saver option, press and hold the Energy Saver button for three seconds. ON or OFF appears in the display. ^Vanessa

Q: QuestionHow deep does a closet need to be in order for this dryer to fit?

Asked 10 months ago by MC.

This question was asked about the related product: LG - 7.3 Cu. Ft. Smart Electric Dryer with EasyLoad Door - Alpine White

• A:Answer Does your closet have a door? The LG 7.3 cu. Ft. Ultra Large Capacity Rear Control Electric Dryer with LG EasyLoad™ Door and AI Sensing, Model # DLE8400WE, has a depth of 29 1/4" (50 1/2" D with door open), and it has been tested for clearances of 1 inch (2.5 cm) on the sides and the rear for recessed or closet installation spacing. You may want to consider additional spacing for ease of installation and servicing. Closets with doors must have both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup in the closet. One upper vent opening with a minimum opening of 48 sq. in. (310 cm2 ) must be installed no lower than 6 feet above the floor. One lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24 sq. in. (155 cm2) must be installed no more than one foot above the floor. Install vent grilles in the door or cut down the door at the top and bottom to form openings. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are also acceptable...^Ivan.

Q: QuestionCan this electric dryer be bottom vented? Does the door on the dryer reverse? For bottom vent, what kits should I prepare?

Asked 2 years ago by ACustomer.

This question was asked about the related product: LG - 7.3 Cu. Ft. Smart Electric Dryer with EasyLoad Door - Alpine White

• A:Answer Yes, the dryer can be vented to the bottom; there are instructions in the manual. The dryer door does reverse; I did it myself and it took about 45min. I am not sure about the kit, but it shows to use a 4" 90' elbow. This could probably be purchased at your local home improvement store.
