Installing the Energy Star Washer and Dryer Video

Bob convenes with carpenter Bob Ryley and plumber Dave DuVerger who are installing the laundry appliances. Bob details a few of the features of the Energy Star rated washer and its accompanying dryer. The clothes washer, a He3t model from Kenmore's Elite series, has a spin cycle of 2100 RPMs that extracts more moisture than standard machines, resulting in less drying time. Ryley notes the non-standard sized enclosure needed to accommodate these front-loading machines and their required gas and ventilation hookups.
