Hard to tell without seeing a picture of the existing cabinetry and layout. Can you post a picture?

If you want to keep the current cabinets, the easiest solution would be to cut the countertop, or get a "shorter" washer and dryer.

Shoulnt have a counter on top of them anyway.

Are there adjustable feet on the bottom of the washer and dryer?

I have no idea all of this should have been measured before purchase and really a poor spaot for a W/D in most homes .We need a lot more info as to why there and a floor plan and pics of the whole kitchen Post all here in comment sDO NOT start another post Now ay will the adjustable feet be helpfu here .

The easiest solution has already been suggested-have someone come in and cut the countertop and slide the washer and dryer into the space. Will probably cost a couple of hundred dollars to have someone come in to cut the top and then polish the ends. You will then have your new units and still a nice looking and functional laundry area.

Can you exchange them for shorter ones? Or sell them on FB Marketplace and measure twice before buying a new set?

Thank you for all the suggestions. This space is in the basement, not the kitchen. I was able to get someone to come in and cut the stone. I will miss having the counter top on top but it was the only solution I could come up with at this time. I appreciate the helpful comments.

Can you save the piece that was cut out and do as @chispa's pictures show, where there is a wood surround with the stone counter on top? I agree with others that being able to have a counter is one of the best things about front loaders.

Unfortunately, the quartz stone had a crack so couldn’t be cut all in one piece. 😕 we will repurpose the stone in two smaller pieces!
