You need to allow for 4” - 5” behind the units - primarily for the 4” dryer exhaust and any elbows that come off the back of the dryer unit. One caution if you are using stackables: The stacking kits for some models can offset the the back of the dryer 1”-2” further back than the back of the washer. If this is the case additional depth to accommodate this offset will be required.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Well for my house I have a leak tray that the washer sits in. With Washer and dryer in place it gives me 34". I have only 1" of play. That being said I had to buy a couple of elbows for the inlets so the water lines dont bind(rub) up against the wall. I had to do the same thing to the dryer's gas line as well. 33" is tight
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have my washer and dryer stacked with the dryer hose in the back (only because I don't know how to make it go to the side in what looks like a spot that it could be moved). And I don't have it smashed up against the wall, I left some space in case I need to reach the water valves to shut them off. I have the machines about 8" from the wall. I live in a small condo and they do stick out into the kitchen a little more than I would like, but that was poor design from the builder of the condo many years ago. If you don't have that extra 8" of space, you maybe could change the dryer vent hose to go to either side of the dryer instead of from the back. Like I said, I don't know how to do that. I could probably push it back about 4-6" if I put the dryer vent to the side. Hope this helps.
