Integrated washer dryer

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

Integrated washer dryer may not fit a sub-600 mm opening

The problem

The user wanted to replace an integrated washing machine with an integrated washer dryer, but the available space measured slightly under 600 mm, around 595 mm and possibly closer to 590 mm in practice. Supplier advice was only that a 600 mm gap would be needed, which did not resolve whether a standard integrated washer dryer would fit.

Likely cause

The main issue appears to be uncertainty over manufacturers' stated dimensions versus the appliance's actual physical width. The discussion suggests some quoted 595-600 mm sizes may be slightly overstated, but this was not verified for any specific washer dryer model.

What fixed it

The strongest recommendation was to check the exact quoted dimensions of the current machine and contact manufacturers directly for precise measurements before buying. The thread did not identify any confirmed integrated washer dryer model under 595 mm, and no physical fit solution was confirmed.

Checks to try

• Measured the available space as slightly under 600 mm
• Checked the current washing machine specification as 595 mm
• Measured the current washing machine as about 590 mm in practice
• Asked suppliers, who advised only that a 600 mm gap would fit standard units
