A washer that’s even slightly off-level will transfer that imbalance to the dryer above it, causing vibration and noise that no stacking kit can fix. Takes 2 minutes and saves a callback. Adjust the washer levelling feet until the bubble is centred, then lock the feet in place before stacking.\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"XPart Supply Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52868904059169,"sku":"8572546","price":49.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7783\/2225\/files\/Whirlpool_Dryer_Stacking_Kit_8572546_Stack_Your_Washer_Dryer_Safely.png?v=1781885031","url":"https:\/\/xpartsupply.com\/products\/whirlpool-dryer-stacking-kit-8572546-stack-your-washer-dryer-safely","provider":"XPart Supply Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
