<\/a>I build a coupling brace of 3\/4\u201d plywood and 3\/4\u201d thick boards. It snugly fits on top and hugs the sides and the back of the LG washer. Based on the connections on the back of your particular washer you may have to cut into the back board to allow access. I had to do this for the water connections and for the AC cable.<\/p>\n
Although the diagram indicates something like finger joints between the boards and the top plywood, I used glue and wood screws to hold the pieces together.<\/p>\n The drier is larger than the washer so the rectangular plywood top of the brace extends over the edges of the washer. On the left and the right of the brace I cut in two notches a little wider than 2\u201d to keep the safety strap in place.<\/p>\n My dryer has removable feet that are screwed into the holes at the bottom of the unit. I glued two 1\/2\u201d round pegs into the top of the brace. The pegs perfectly match the placement of the holes on the front of the dryer.<\/p>\n Once I coupled the washer and dryer, I ran a 20′ long 2\u201d ratchet strap around the two units and made it real tight. That’s all. The extra weight on the washing machine makes it vibrate less during the spin cycle. Two years later the dryer hasn’t fallen off!<\/p>\n Incompatible appliances, no problem If you have a laundry washer and a dryer from two different manufacturers and are wondering how to stack them up on top of one another, read on.

It cost less than $30 for materials and … Continue reading Stack Washer and a Dryer<\/span> <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>
