The ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 4.5 Cu. Ft. 12-Cycle Front-Loading Smart Wi-Fi Washer with Steam and 6Motion™ Technology - Graphite Steel, Model # WM3700HVA is a stackable unit and you can stack its matching Gas or Electric Dryer on the washer using the 27" LG Laundry Stacking Kit, Model # KSTK1. When stacking the dryer onto the washer, the leveling feet for both units must be lowered to their lowest position and the stacked units must be properly leveled and installed on a solid floor that is strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the washer and the dryer, even when fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If the floor has too much flex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise. The washer/dryer must be installed on firm flooring to minimize vibration during the washer's spin cycle. Concrete flooring is best, but a wood floor is sufficient, provided it is built to FHA standards. Before installing the stacked washer/dryer, make sure the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that can move or slide on the floor can contribute to excess vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor...^IFV
