Step 4: Check to ensure both machines are balanced and stable. Confirm that the washer and dryer are functioning normally without any signs of trouble.
Using Stackable Appliance Tools
Another method for stacking washers and dryers is by utilizing stackable appliance tools. It's important to note that stackable tools should be used for compatible washer and dryer models to avoid damage and accidents. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Place the dryer on top of the washer.
Step 2: Remove the two screws from the bottom corners as illustrated below.
Step 3: Remove the protective film from both sides of the tape on the frame and attach the holding bracket. Then, adjust the two screw holes previously removed and firmly attach the frame to the side of the machine at the designated positions.
Step 4: Attach the two screws removed earlier to the washer, dryer, and the tool set. Additionally, it's advisable to use supplementary screws to secure the machine edge and the tool set, as shown in the image below.
Finally, repeat the same process for the remaining side.
Using a Connecting Rack for Stacking
Step 1: Place the connecting accessory kit on top of the washing machine
Step 2: Align the accessory kit flush with the top of the washing machine. Mark the drilling holes according to the position of the accessory kit on the washing machine.
Step 3: Drill the designated holes on the top surface of the washing machine. Then, install and secure the connecting accessory kit with screws.
Step 4: Remove the base feet of the clothes dryer or adjust the height of the machine feet.
Step 5: Extend the sliding rack of the connecting accessory kit and detach the front support base of the accessory. Place and slide the dryer wheels along the grooves of the connecting accessory kit.
