Stackable Washer & Dryer Dimensions: Width, Height, Space

Stackable washer and dryer dimensions

Stackable front-load washer/dryer pairs often use one footprint about 27 inches wide, with the two units together roughly 76–78 inches tall and 30–34 inches deep. Whirlpool's sizing guide also lists stacked laundry centers at about 23–27 inches wide, 63–76 inches tall and 26–33 inches deep. These are typical ranges, not a universal appliance standard.

Configuration	Typical width	Typical stacked height	Typical depth
Front-load pair, stacked	About 27 in	About 76–78 in	About 30–34 in
Laundry center/tower	About 23–27 in	About 63–76 in	About 26–33 in
Side-by-side set	About 54–55 in total	About 38–44 in	About 27–34 in

Dimensions depend on model, controls, venting and whether pedestals are installed. See Whirlpool's laundry sizing guide.

How wide is a stackable washer and dryer?

A common full-size front-load pair is around 27 inches wide when stacked because one appliance sits above the other. A side-by-side washer and dryer set generally needs about 54–55 inches total, before extra clearance. Compact sets may be narrower. Verify the width in each appliance's installation guide, including any trim, hoses or required side gaps.

Height and space needed for stacked laundry

Two front-load appliances stacked vertically can make a set around 76–78 inches high. The closet or alcove also needs space for hoses, venting, door swing and service access. Whirlpool's planning guidance gives an approximate laundry opening of 29 inches wide, 80 inches high and 32–34 inches deep for some stacked pairs, with about 6 inches behind for connections and ventilation. The installation manual for the exact model takes precedence.

Stacked pair versus laundry center

A stackable pair consists of two separate appliances designed to be stacked with an approved kit. A laundry center or tower is a single combined unit. The two arrangements can differ in depth, controls, service requirements and replacement options even when their outside widths are similar. Check whether the product spec lists the total assembled height or only each separate appliance's height.
