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.
Moving a washing machine is no small feat, and knowing the average weight gives you an idea of what you're facing. The typical mid-sized, top-loading washer weighs about 150 pounds, while a mid-sized front-loader can be closer to 200 to 250 pounds.onsidering this conversion, do the math: An old washer -- predating 1998 -- fills with about 40 gallons or 332 pounds of water to wash and rinse clothes, while a new standard model uses 27 gallons or 225 pounds, and the energy efficient ones just 14 gallons or 117 pounds -- or less.
