The W x H x D dimensions for the LG - 2.3 cu.ft. 14-Cycle Front-Loading Compact Washer and 7-Cycle Dryer Combo with Steam - White, Model # WM3488HW are: 24" x 33 1/2" x 25 1/4" (45" D with door open). Standard Kitchen cabinets have a height of 34.5" (i.e. the toe kick has a height of 3.5" and the cabinet is 31" tall), so the height is not an issue. The width for kitchen cabinets will vary, but most dishwashers have a width of 23 3/4" to 24". This washer also has a width of 24". Kitchen cabinets have a depth of 24" and this is where the WM3488HW is different from dishwashers. Typically, dishwashers have a cabinet that has a depth of 24" so that it can sit flush within the kitchen cabinet and only the door handles will protrude past the kitchen cabinet. This washer has a cabinet that is 25.2" and the washer requires sufficient space in the back to allow for the waterline and for airflow around the unit (1" on the sides). So the washer will protrude past your cabinets more than a dishwasher does and you also will need 19.8 inches at the least in front of the unit so that the door can be opened...^IFV
