Paul, Nate, and Dave are all working to solve a dryer venting problem in the first floor laundry room. We plumbed the laundry room with a dryer vent in the wall behind the dryer that exits the East wall of the house. Everyone expected the venting to line up reasonably well with the outlet on the back of the dryer. Unfortunately it didn’t…and we ended up with a dryer sitting almost 7” away from the wall.
After studying the situation carefully Paul and Nate discovered that there is an option that routes the vent pipe out the side of the Whirlpool dryer allowing the machine to be right up against the wall. The side vent combined with the open area under the countertop on this side of the laundry room provides a fairly easy fix. The new plan has a vent pipe running across the open area under the counter that exits into the crawl space and connects to the existing venting.
Now for the ugly part…Only the last wall cavity allowed enough room to get the vent pipe to the crawl space below. No one will ever have to know it took three tries figure that out!
