Can I stack Hotpoint tumble dryer on hotpoint washing machine?

[RichDro]

Does anyone know if I can stack a Hotpoint tumble dryer on hotpoint washing machine? Hotpoint can’t seem to tell me!

All the washing machines have a depth of 60cm, but the dryers have a depth of 65cm, so they are deeper. This implies that they can’t be stacked, however, it may be the case that the base of the dryer is only 60cm, in which case it should stack (Hotpoint do sell a stacking unit after all). I just need to know if someone has managed to do this.

Thanks

I would need the model numbers of the two appliances please.

Hi Don

Thanks for coming back to me. I was considering the following models: [h=1]HOTPOINT NSWR 845C WK UK N 8 kg [/h] And for the dryer: [h=1]HOTPOINT NT M10 81WK UK 8 kg Heat Pump Tumble Dryer[/h]

Have checked both sets of instructions and the following is mentioned in the washing machine daily use guide,

“Contact our Technical Assistance Service to check whether the following accessories are available for this washing machine model. Stacking kit With this accessory you can secure the tumble dryer to the upper part of your washing machine to save space and facilitate loading and unloading of the tumble dryer”.

Not very helpful I know, as you say the only one is the WPro one at £70 odd part number C00378975, I would phone Hotpoint again and ask the question again using the part number just quoted.

I have seen and done the fitting of a shelf between the two appliances and a carefully placed strap to the back of the dryer and the wall behind so it doesn’t topple.

Thanks, Don, I will try and call them, but that is the real challenge as the Sales team don’t know and the Parts team don’t answer the phone!
