No one wants to find out for themselves that the new tumble dryer has fallen off the washing machine. Of course, you want to avoid this nightmare.
Therefore, 5 practical tips help prevent this fall scenario if you are going to put the dryer on the washing machine.
A washing machine and tumble dryer have become indispensable for many households.
If you have enough space in the house, they stand next to each other like two inseparable friends.
Otherwise, if you have to stack the two devices on each other due to lack of space, it becomes. It can still be quite a puzzle to get your new dryer on the washing machine without the risk that it can vibrate off.
Fortunately, the risk of the washing machine’s tumble dryer being vibrated has become a lot smaller in the current generation of washing machines. All new washing machines are equipped with a brushless motor, which is much quieter and vibrates less during centrifugation.
But it remains careful with the washing machines from a few years ago! These are still going strong when centrifugation. And prevention is better than cure.
5 Tips for Using Your Dryer Washing Machine
That is why 5 tips from the editors of WasdrogerSale.nl all you are going to put the dryer on the washing machine.
Tip 1: Is the washing machine level?
The main tip to avoid a walking washing machine is to level the machine on a solid surface.
There are adjusting legs under the washing machine that you can use if the surface is not completely level.
Also, the tumble dryer must, of course, be completely on top of the washing machine. With all our reviews, we mention the dimensions as much as possible. By measuring the width and depth of your washing machine blade yourself, you will know quickly enough whether everything will fit properly.
Standard dimensions tumble dryer.
- Standard width tumble dryer: 60cm
- Depth tumble dryer ranges from 58cm to 68cm.
Standard washing machine dimensions
- Standard width washing machine: 60cm
- Washing machine depth varies from 55cm to 70cm depending on drum size.
If the dryer’s adjusting legs are completely inside the top of the washing machine, then additional tools are not necessarily necessary.
I do always recommend a cheap anti-vibration foot under the washing machine to keep the setup stable.
Tip 2: Universal insert for your washing machine and dryer
Such an intermediate machine dryer (as many people call it) is called a stacking kit in the webshop.
I still find it bizarre how expensive such a plastic insert is. However, a tumble dryer that fell off your washing machine is of nature even more expensive.
You should definitely use a stacking kit if the tumble dryer’s dimensions are greater than (the depth of) your washing machine.
Stacking kits come in many shapes and sizes. Universal, but also specific to a brand.
What should you pay attention to? There are stacking kits where you have to drill screws through the top of your washing machine.
I always think this is a “crass” to watch. Fortunately, some work with straps so that the washing machine comes out of the fight less battered.

Tip 3: Choose a perfect washing machine and dryer set
As you can see, it can still be quite a tour to give your tumble dryer a safe place on the washing machine.
By choosing one brand and series, you prevent the dimensions of devices from connecting.
These tips especially apply if you are looking for a tumble dryer and washing machine.

This is one machine with which you can wash and dry.
The big advantage is that you save a lot of space in your home, you don’t have to put two separate machines in your home.
