How Do You Raise A Front-Loading Dryer?
All home repair or enhancement projects require knowledge of the task. In this case, prior experience is helpful when it comes to being crafty and using tools. You have two options when it comes to raising your front-loading dryer off the floor. You can buy a pedestal that is pre-made with materials and paint color that matches your machine. Your other option is to make your own dryer platform. Pull out your front-load dryer enough so you can position the pedestal in its place on the floor. Lift your dryer up and stand it on top of the pedestal. Check to make sure the dryer is balanced. When you open the dryer’s door, the entire unit should not move or become unbalanced. Measure the base around your dryer using your tape measure. If you are raising your washer as well, follow all of these steps to make platforms for both machines. Mark those measurements along your plywood with the pencil. You should purchase plywood pieces that are at least 2 inches thick, and 3 feet by 3 feet wide. I
