Does this have to rest on the wall? My washer has open space behind it (no wall) & I'm afraid it won't work because of that.

Actually, I think it would be better with no wall... my washer is too close to the wall so the shelf has a tendancy to fall over if I don't distribute the weight right... If I could pull my washer farther away from the wall, I think it would be better but if I did that, I wouldn't be able to walk past it!

It does not need to rest against the wall. Ours has been hanging over our dryer for about 2 years and it's as sturdy as ever. We chose to hang it on our dryer since we have an older washer and it tends to "shake" now and then when it gets off balance. Not a problem with a dryer :).

Absolutely no, you don't need a wall (actually mine is not resting on a wall ). It has all the support it needs to stand by it self. Hope I helped !

MrsMo is right. The shelf has legs on the back with small rubber feet that rest on the back of the washer/dryer to provide support. If you add a lot of weight to the shelf a supporting wall will help, but the shelf supports plenty all by itself. If you're handy and don't mind modifying your appliance a bit, you could attach the feet to the back of your washer/dryer with small self-tapping sheet-metal screws.

And you dint need to screw it on. It cantulevers against the back of the dryer. I have multiple large bottles and boxes on mine.

Nope. It does not have to lean against a wall. I've found out that if you plan on over-loading the shelf, it helps!

No it doesn't. It has braces coming down that sit against the back of your washer. I love mine but do need to be loaded down to sit right but that's not hard to do.

I have a wall and it still didn't work so I would think the answer is no and also I advise not to use the ones with the open areas, things fall through it and it''s not easy to get back there and remove.

I have one on a machine where it rests on the wall, but on another machine, the machine is too far out from the wall for it to rest on the wall, but the shelf still stays on top of the machine. The struts or supports help to stabilise it. Hope that helps.

It hangs over the washer with a shelf like hooked bracket/leg support. It should. Mine is also somewhat supported by the wall behind the washer. There is no hardware that screws it into the washer/dryer.

If you could only read the instruction booklet provided with the unit, you would know you must leave at least a12 inch perimeter around the unit for proper operation. So, no, you may NOT put the unit up against a wall!

Yep. We had to take it to a laundromat to find a washer big enough but it does fine in the wash. There's no cover, so you stick the whole thing in there. Wash warm, tumble dry low I believe.

I put the wheels on but it stays in the same place in our laundry room. I could have left them off. I say if you are not going to move it a lot then it is your option of whether to put them on or not. I believe it would work fine without them.

I didn't attach this to the wall but set it on top of a console. I attached some earthquake ties to it and the wall but didn't use the wall bracket or screws. I would think some standard 2 inch wood screws would do the trick but can't tell you for sure.

That is pretty much how I have mine set up. I moved my washer and dryer to the basement and installed a deep sink beside them. I installed a drain pipe running along the wall to behind where I installed the Deep sink up to the washer. When I inserted the Washer hose into the drain pipe I did so with a rubber 2" to 1.5" adapter and used radiator hose clamps to draw the ends tight over the pvc and the washer hose, this prevents any back lash and I have had the pump and washer pushing water both at the same time with no issues at all.

Mine lays flat. Any position is fine (as long as your dryer is electric and not gas). It has saved me lots of $$ since installing it.

Hi! I just whipped out my tape measure and took a look. The pads themselves are 1" tall on the outside. The foot of the washer nests in it by about 1/4", so I guess it will raise your washer about 3/4".Hope that helps. Have a great day!

I don't see where that would be a problem as long as it fits in your washer. Ours is too small

This really has to rest against a wall in my opinion. I can not see how it would rest on roof -- unless of course it is resting against the gutter so that the roof can be accessed.

This should be able to lean against the wall. Be cautious. Ours just collect dust. Not of any fault of the equipment.

The brackets don't actually attach. You fully assemble the shelf before you place it on top of the washer/dryer. There are rubber pieces on the end of the brackets to keep from scratching your washer/dryer, but there is nothing attaching the brackets to the washer/dryer or to your wall.

The whole back sits against the wall! Unless you have angled paneling, but even then it works with the right positioning. Hope that helps!

I see absolutely no reason to do this. Mine is mounted in a utility room, on a wall about 3 feet from washer, no problem.

The shelf is attached with screws to the 2 brackets for support. The horizontal arms of the brackets support the shelf by resting on top of the control panel of the washer or dryer. The vertical arms of the brackets are designed to rest on top of a protruding part on the back of the machine but due to different manufacturer designs you may need to bend these by hand (not difficult) so they rest on something. The washer/dryer should be pushed back so the shelf is pressed against the wall. This provides enough support for several bottles and boxes of detergent. Should additional support be needed, the back of the shelf could be hooked on a screw or nail on the wall. The shelf is attached with screws to the 2 brackets for support.

Washer "O" goes to arm crank. Need to keep one "O" washer between two washer "P". O washer looks like thin and shape less, it will fit to the crank arm for sure. Please see the Assembly Manual page4 how washer "O" looks like. I have assembled twice recently. If any questions, pls ask back. Thanks
