Basic instructions to installation:
- Move the washer into it’s desired location, to save on having to move both units later
- Check the levelness of the washer with the level tool
- Bring in the dryer and tip onto its back to expose the feet on the base. Be careful to lay the dryer down gently and be aware when tipping the machine will be very heavy
- Remove the original feet of the dryer by unscrewing the feet
- Install the feet from the w10869845 kit, screw into place tight but not too tight to break the thread
- Stand the dryer in front of the washing machine to prepare for lifting to the top
- Lift the dryer into the washing machine, be sure to not do this on your own, lifting the dryer is a heavy task and it is recommended to have at least two people helping with this task
- Install the plastic clips from the kit
- Then install the brackets from the stacking kit using the screws and the Phillips Screwdriver
Make sure you have the back connections installed while able to access the back section. It is important the base washing machine is level and placed on a solid level surface.
