Dryer Installation
ANY BRAND | RIGHT KIT FOR STACKING | OLD DRYER REMOVED
Where a dryer can go depends on what kind it is. A vented dryer can often hang on the wall. A heat pump dryer usually can't. Stacking either on a washing machine takes a specific kit for that exact pair of machines.
National Appliance Repairs installs dryers of any brand across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth: freestanding, stacked or wall-mounted. Every price includes certified technicians, removal of your old dryer, and the packaging taken away.

Stacking and Wall Mounting
Stacking. Fisher & Paykel's Australian installation guides say a stacking kit must be used between the washing machine and dryer, and it must be the compatible kit for that exact combination. F&P also lists combinations that aren't safe to stack.
Wall mounting. This depends on the dryer type. Fisher & Paykel's heat pump dryer guides state the dryer cannot be inverted and mounted on the wall. Many vented dryers can be. Haier's Australian vented dryer guide allows inverted wall mounting with its wall kit, fixed securely into the wall studs.
Why it matters:
- A dryer stacked without the right kit can move during a washing machine's spin
- A heat pump dryer isn't designed to hang on a wall
Connections
Drainage and Venting
Drain connection
Heat pump and condenser dryers collect water in a tank, and many can drain it through a hose instead. Fisher & Paykel recommends connecting the drain hose where possible, with the end secured in a laundry tub or standpipe.
Venting
A vented dryer pushes warm, damp air into the room. Some manufacturers offer vent kits to duct it outside, which keeps a small laundry drier.
Heat Pump Dryers and Cold Laundries
Heat pump dryers depend on the air around them. Fisher & Paykel warns the laundry needs to stay above 5°C. An unheated laundry or garage in a Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth winter can drop below that, and cycles then run long.
Common Faults
Installation Mistakes We Fix
Stacked without a kit, or with the wrong kit
The dryer can shift during spin.
Heat pump dryer wall-mounted
A model not designed to be inverted.
Drain hose loose in the tub
It slips out and floods the floor.
Not level
More noise and vibration, and a poorer drying result.
Laundry too cold or closed in
Long cycles and damp clothes, with nothing broken.
Our guides to Fisher & Paykel dryer warnings and Miele heat pump dryer messages cover how some of these show up later.
Repair Before You Replace
Dryers are often replaced when the problem is a blocked filter, a full condenser or one failed part. Our dryer repair service and heat pump dryer repairs can look at it first.
Worth checking first:
- A dryer taking too long usually has blocked filters or a full tank
- A heat pump dryer in a cold laundry may be working outside its design conditions
