A:Answer Yes, the dryer can be vented out the side, but it requires the purchase of a side vent kit and the installation of that kit. I purchased the dryer and after installation realized that there was not enough room behind the dryer to vent out the back. I called Best Buy and was informed there was a side vent kit, so I purchased that, and then had Best Buy come out to the house and install the Kit.
