What are the average dimensions of washers and dryers? Quick Answer. As of 2014, most washing machines in the United States are 27 inches wide and 25 to 28 inches deep. Top-loading machines are 36 inches high, and front-loading machines are 34 to 39 inches high, not including the control panel's height. Dryers usually match the dimensions of the washing machine.
Most washer tubs range in size from about 2.45 cubic feet to 3.3 cubic feet. Don't try to compare numbers or industry terminology for tub capacity. Although many top-loading washers with agitators claim to be super-capacity, some are really too small to handle 12-pound loads. If you tend to save up your laundry or have a large family, look for a washing machine with the plus label.
