“Can a countertop be installed on top of this dryer? The specifications say 17" top clearance is required for the dryer but I have never seen any dryer need more than 1". Additionally, the manual states that when the dryer is stacked on top of the washer it only needs 6" of top clearance? Is this correct and if so why? I have seen many samsung front loading washer/dryers installed side-by-side below countertops so I am confused about the 17" and 6" of top clearance. (See picture for example of installation I am talking about)”

I'm pretty sure those measurements are for a closed in area such as a small closet with a door that closes because I seem to remember I read somewhere in the owner's manual where they recommend even leaving your door open/cracked when you use the washer/dryer. There's a sensor on the dryer that measures airflow.
Sorry, there was a problem.

Less clearance is fine if there's plenty of air circulation, though I would suggest leaving room between the Dryer and adjacent surfaces to prevents unnecessary noise from vibration occurring. Thanks for the question, Ms. Samsung
