Space for the full laundry setup.
Measure the machines, the connections behind them and the space to load them. A laundry pair that fits with the doors closed can still be awkward to use.

Check all three dimensions.
Compare a measured item with your available space. Add the total extra room required on each axis from the exact manual or your own working-space plan.
Enter the available width, height and depth to compare.
With extra-room fields blank, this checks the body envelope only. Door swing, ventilation, connections, safe operating clearances and delivery turns require separate checks.
Planning your laundry space
Start with the complete installation
Record floor-to-shelf height, side-to-side width and wall-to-front depth. Compare those measurements with the appliance and the additional space specified for hoses, exhaust connections and ventilation. A recessed connection box changes the layout, but does not replace the installation instructions.
Check loading and access
Draw the door swing on the floor and allow enough space to stand in front of the machine. Consider whether a door blocks the room entrance or the other appliance. Controls and detergent drawers should remain accessible after shelving is installed.
A stack needs confirmed compatibility
Do not assume two machines can be stacked because their widths match. Check the manufacturer’s compatible models and stacking kit. Use the assembled stack height, including the required kit, and account for reaching controls and servicing the connections.
Make a record before you compare
Write down the item’s full width, height and depth, the available space, and any opening it must pass through. Keep the manufacturer’s dimension drawing with these notes. Measure again after allowing for trim, skirting, doors and anything else that reduces the usable space.
Before you decide
Can a size name confirm that an item fits?
No. A nominal size can refer to a screen diagonal, a product class or a capacity. Use the exact model’s external dimensions and its installation instructions. The TV chart calculates screen dimensions only.
What if the item just fits the opening?
A matching width leaves no margin for measurement error or the clearances required by the model. Check height, depth, working space and the delivery route separately. A straight opening check cannot prove that an item will turn around a corner.
Where should I find product measurements?
Start with the manufacturer’s specification sheet and installation manual for the exact model code. Check whether each drawing includes handles, stands, open doors or packaging. Keep those different measurements separate.
