.....and can you?

My friend wants to move the washing machine into her laundry room and use the washer space, in the kitchen for (ideally) a small freezer (she needs more freezer space), but she also wants a dishwasher. So she's in two minds what to get.

She wants to know if she can put the freezer on top of the washer in the laundry room, so that a dishwasher can stay in the kitchen. I told her I'm not sure she can do that.

Doesn't each white good require some kind of space? :/
...and isn't there a safety risk???

when i bought our washer and dryer they gave me a stacking kit for free, which i have since chucked out as we didn't need it, Could ask in big electrics store like plug ins Dubai mall if anything suitable. Don't think its a good idea to put a freezer on a washer though. If she has a garage how about putting freezer in there?

firstly, when washing machine moves and vibrates that may not be good for the freezer. secondly, washer produces heat, which may reduce the efficiency of the freezer. thridly , she does need to be tall, lol... but anyways, i think she needs a carpenter, and get kind of a shelf with extra legs, and create an independent space for the freezer above the washer, rather than stocking them on top directly. like a high table, and put one of the machines on top. i see no problem with that. <em>edited by dentro on 11/02/2011</em>

you can get special stands for stacking washer and dryer, not sure if it would work with a freezer. I am assuming here that the freezer is small and opens from the front or she will need a ladder lol. Can she not put the freezer in another room ie, spare bedroom? unused maids room? She ideally wants a dishwasher in the cubby that the washer was in? I dont think that will work, the dishwasher has larger hoses and goes down a waste pipe because of the food? I think she needs to talk to a plumber before putting the dishwasher where the washer was unless it is beside (or close ) to the sink???
