The first step is to buy a suitable kit for placing the two appliances on top of each other. It may be specifically designed for the respective brand of washer and dryer, but it may also be universal.
You need to make sure that the installation kit is suitable and compatible with your appliances. It can be brand-specific or universal. Check that the kit you are about to purchase is compatible with your washing machine and dryer model.

Assembling its individual components is quite easy and will hardly be a problem, even for users without much technical knowledge. To be sure how to assemble the kit, read its instructions. Most likely, you will only need a screwdriver to assemble the individual parts.
Once you have assembled the kit, it is time to mount it on the washing machine. This provides a solid base for the dryer to stand on. In addition, the stable mounting of the kit on the washing machine also ensures proper weight distribution. Tighten all screws on the individual parts. Before doing so, make sure that the mounting kit is oriented and correctly oriented towards the washing machine.
The next step is to place the dryer on the created base. The appliance must be fixed on the mounting kit. You will hardly be able to place the dryer on the washing machine yourself. Therefore, it is better to use the help of another person with whom to fix the appliance.
The assembled mounting kit should have holes for the dryer feet to fit in. Insert them carefully and align them. Make sure the dryer feet are properly adjusted so that the machine does not wobble. The installation should be done accurately and avoid any unpleasant incidents.
The next step is to secure the machines. Attach and screw all the fixing parts of the individual appliances. Check that both machines do not wobble and are stable, together with the mounting kit. You should keep in mind that in such a column of appliances, the washing machine is always PLACED UNDER THE DRYER.

In many dryer models on the market, the hinge of the hatch can be turned to open in the same direction as the washing machine door.

Some manufacturers of such machines also offer installation kits that are equipped with a practical drawer. It can store accessories, such as a laundry basket, for example. This will bring you more convenience when loading or removing clothes from the dryer. IN SUMMARY, THE DRYER DOES NOT WEIGHT THE WASHING MACHINE BECAUSE IT IS DESIGNED TO STAND ON THE CONSTRUCTION.
