A:Answer Hello there. We understand your inquiry about whether the DLGX4001W dryer and its coordinating washer model, the WM4000HWA (which is a 4.5 cu. ft. unit), will work with the WDP5W pedestals. We know that ensuring the correct accessories are purchased is important for a smooth setup.
We want to provide you with the most accurate information regarding compatibility. For the current series of LG laundry appliances, which includes your DLGX4001W gas dryer and the matching WM4000HWA washer, the specifically recommended pedestal model is the WDP6W, as listed in the dryer's specifications. The design and dimensions of the newer WDP6W pedestal are engineered to perfectly fit the base of this modern laundry pair. While the WDP5W is an older generation pedestal, its dimensions and connection points may not align perfectly with the current DLGX4001W and its coordinating washer, which could lead to stability or aesthetic issues.
Therefore, we highly recommend using the WDP6W pedestal model to ensure a secure, proper, and aesthetically unified installation for both your DLGX4001W dryer and the matching washer.
