Fit notes
What to check for your space
- Body width 23.4375" must clear your door frame, not just the closet.
- Door swings out to 42.8125" deep — leave room to open it.
- Runs on a standard 120V outlet.
- Washer — no venting involved.
- Needs a drain and water supply.
Note: Hot/cold water requirement corroborated by GE owner manual and installation instructions (hot hose to "H" valve, cold hose to "C" valve). GE electrical section publishes an individual grounded 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse; current AJ Madison table lists Amps: 20. Public amperage label preserves the published GE range rather than forcing a single-number requirement.
