How much clearance is needed around a washing machine?

DIMENSIONS. Make sure to measure your available space carefully. Keep in mind that washing machines typically need a 4-5mm clearance to the sides and back, both freestanding and integrated.

How much clearance do you need between washer and wall?

We recommend at least 25 mm (1 inch) of clearance on all sides, 150 mm (5.9 inches) of clearance at the back, 50 mm (2 inch) of clearance at the front and 432 mm (or 17 inches) at the top. Remember that when it comes to clearance around the washer, more clearance is better than less.

Are all front-loading washing machines the same height?

The standard height of a front-loading washing machine is 85cm. The standard height of a top-loading model is 90cm. That means the average height distance between a front-loading and top-loading model is 5cm. Measure the height you need at home if you want to place the washing machine in a laundry room, for example.

How much space do you need around a washer and dryer?

All washer and dryer pairs vary in size, but the standard dimensions for pairs placed side by side are about 27 inches in width and around 35–43 inches in height. So, your designated laundry room needs at least a 54-inch space at the very minimum.
