Wall mounting a tumble dryer

[steviecat]

Hi all

Just bought a Bosch heat pump / condensor tumble dryer WTW87560GB. I really need to wall mount it due to space restrictions.

Can't really find what seem to be appropriate brackets online. Is there anything anyone can recommend. Its depth is 590mm and weighs approx 55Kg.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Steve.

Steve,
55kg on a 590mm shelf is a lot of load on a bracket of any size - especially when you consider you may also lean on that shelf and dump in wet clothes.

There are these 500mm and 600mm shelf brackets that might work if your wall fixings are strong enough.

But you have to remember that there will be a lot of load on the screws that go into the wall, with a lot of the force working to pull the screws out (rather than downward loading)

So you should really be considering legs at the front of the shelf onto the ground (or attaching the shelf to two walls (ie in a corner):

Thanks SFK. Think I agree. Going to go for the stacking kit and stick it directly on top of washing machine. Thanks for advice.

Probably 40 years ago my mum bought an automatic hover washer and tumble drier. They came with a stacking kit that was basically a square frame /band that had an inner rim so that it sat on top of the washer And then the drier stacked on top

There must be a modern version
