Laundry Center Dimensions & Stacked Height

How big is a laundry center?#

A laundry center welds a washer and a dryer into one tall cabinet, 24 to 27 inches wide and 70 to 76 inches tall. The table below lists the compact 24-inch, the full-size 27-inch, and the gas versions.

Laundry center dimensions by configuration#

Installation clearances for a laundry center#

• Ceiling clearance: 4–6 in in above a laundry center so the top dryer door still opens under the ceiling.
• Rear clearance: 4–6 in in behind a laundry center for the hoses, the drain, and the dryer vent.
• Closet door depth: 27–33 in in of depth a laundry center needs, so bifold closet doors must clear it.
• Single cabinet: A laundry center welds the washer and dryer into one cabinet, so the whole unit moves and installs as a single appliance.

Will your laundry center fit? Clearances and door swing#

Since the pair ships as a single cabinet, you plan the fit like one appliance rather than two stacked units. Leave 4 to 6 inches above the top so the upper dryer door can still open under a low ceiling or shelf, and the same 4 to 6 inches behind for the fill hoses, the standpipe drain, and the dryer vent. Depth runs 27 to 33 inches, which matters most in a laundry closet: a bifold or louvered door has to clear the cabinet face and the folded-out washer door. Because the whole thing is one welded unit, it moves and installs as a single piece — there is no separate machine to lift onto another. Measure the closet width against the 24 or 27-inch cabinet, then check the door and ceiling clearances before delivery.

Laundry center sizes by type: 24-inch laundry center, 27-inch laundry center, gas laundry center#

The three options balance capacity against fuel and footprint. The 24-inch laundry center, 70 to 75 inches tall, is the compact stack for an apartment or a tight closet where every inch of width counts. The 27-inch model grows to 74 to 76 inches tall and 30 to 33 inches deep, giving full-size wash and dry capacity in the same one-piece format. The gas laundry center keeps the 27-inch full-size body but swaps in a gas dryer, so it needs a gas line and vent at the back instead of a dedicated dryer circuit. Choose width by your closet, then decide electric or gas for the dryer half.

Laundry center dimensions: common questions#

How tall is a laundry center?#

The one-piece cabinet stands 70 to 76 inches tall. Compact 24-inch units are shortest at 70 to 75 inches; full-size models reach 74 to 76.

How wide is a one-piece laundry center?#

Widths are 24 or 27 inches. The 24-inch version suits apartments and tight closets, while the 27-inch full-size unit matches a standard machine footprint.

What is the difference between a laundry center and a stacked pair?#

A laundry center is a single welded cabinet, so the washer and dryer cannot be separated. A stacked pair is two independent machines strapped together that can be pulled apart and used separately.

How deep is a laundry center?#

Depth runs 27 to 33 inches. That figure drives closet fit, since the door has to clear both the cabinet face and the open washer door.

Will a laundry center fit in a closet?#

Usually, if the closet is 24 to 27 inches wide and the door clears the 27-to-33-inch depth. Confirm 4 to 6 inches of headroom above so the top dryer door opens.
