Laundry Room Appliances Design Dilemma

Accessing vent on stacked W/D combo sandwiched between cabinets.

5 years ago

Hi! New build planning here. I'm considering stacking my washer and dryer combination. However with our lay out it would be sandwiched between a wall and cabinets. Is this ideal? When these are stacked, how do you periodically pull the dyer out to clean the vent? I've never had a stacked combo before. Any advice/help would be appreciated!

You pull the stacked units out simultaneously. Not a big deal.

My problem would be putting the vent back together.

I had a stacked w/d in a closet that was only slightly larger than the units. I watched the delivery/installation guys and, as Joe says, they just slid them out simultaneously. Once the back of the units cleared the closet door frame, but were still in front of the opening, one guy tilted the stack to create space and the other just stepped over and through so he was then in the closet and behind the units with easy access to connect the vent. They tilted again for him to get out and then just pushed them straight back into place.
