Instructions for Stackable Washer & Dryer Bracket Removal

Unplug the washer and dryer power cords from their electrical outlets. Turn off the water supply to the washer at the spigots coming from the wall. Ask a friend to assist you and pull the washer/dryer combination away from the wall far enough that you can work behind the units.

Loosen the screw securing the dryer duct hose clamp to the rear of the dryer with a Phillips-head screwdriver. Pull the dryer duct hose away from the dryer.

Find the brackets attaching the dryer to the washer. The brackets are on either side of the rear of the units. Most brackets are pieces of metal attaching to the top of the washer and bottom of the dryer.

Remove the screws securing the bracket to the dryer with a nut driver or Phillips-head screwdriver, depending on the head of the screw. Slide the dryer forward with the assistance of your helper and remove it from the top of the washer.

Turn the screws securing the brackets to the side of the washer counterclockwise with the appropriate screwdriver. Look for screws connecting a small flange from the bracket to the top of the washer and remove them. Pull the brackets off the washer.
