Hi everyone,

 

 

 

again i turn to you guys for suggestion and insight

 

 

 

we have a AEG washing machine and a Samsung heatpump dryer, our laundry room is quiet small so im trying to stacking them together,

 

i try Meliconi Universal Stacking Kit with Shelf, somehow it is quiet shaky when the washing machine is on spin cycle ( at the really beginning and end of the cycle), the dry is really stable when it runs otherwise,

 

 

 

 

 

im trying to see if someone was in a similar situation before and what solution they were end up with. because it shake pretty bad i was thinking hunt for a shelf to let for the dryer to sit on, but havnt had much luck.

 

or hoping someone have crafting experience could give me some insight to craft one shelf or table for the dryer to sit on. the dryer is approx 50kg i would say.

 

 

 

thank advance for all help and apologies for my poor grammar and spelling.

 

 

 

cheers,

 

Sam

You'd have to get the washing machine level to start with so the weight was evenly spread across the feet. If the floor isn't level you might have to find a way of stopping the washer from moving once it's levelled. Wall mounting is probably better if possible.

Simpson dryer sitting on top of Beko washer. Been this way for 6 years or so. I used thick castor cups for shock absorption.

 

No issues except for the dryer door rattling if left open when the washer is in spin cycle, so we just make sure to keep it shut.

i checked the washing machine is leveled before i stacking them, and also after they are stacked up,

 

which make me wonder whether it is the floor or the washing machine.

At first I thought you meant wall mount the WM - then realised you must mean the drier but it’s not clear from your post.

i thought wall mounting heat pump dryer is not a good idea, due to its weight?

 

i might be wrong/.

The dryer - although it's a standard dryer, not a heat pump one. I'm not sure how much of a weight difference there is.

Samsung washing machine and Haier heatpump dryer here.  I used a ratcheting strap to secure them together and it's good as gold.

I don’t know whether your model of drier comes with a wall-mount kit but I believe anything can be wall mounted provided all the fixings (brackets, coach-screws into studs etc) are of sufficient strength.

What do you think that might achieve?

I stacked my Drier on top of my washing machine by buying a sheet of marine ply and painting it white.

 

Put the ply on the washing machine and done.

 

Been working fine for about 3 years now.

Ah, didn’t realise insufficient floor bracing was part of the problem - not mentioned before.
