Hello,

We are currently planning our new IKEA kitchen. Two months ago, we had to replace our washing machine and bought a washer-dryer combo. It fits perfectly in our current kitchen, but we are unsure if it will also fit in the new IKEA kitchen.

The appliance has the following dimensions: 59.5 cm (23.4 inches) wide × 53.7 cm (21.1 inches) deep × 82–90 cm (32.3–35.4 inches) high (the height is adjustable).
Our new kitchen will have an L-shape, and the washer-dryer is intended to be placed at the end of one side. We do not want to hide the appliance behind a door. The only potential issue seems to be the height, as we plan to place the appliance simply between the last cabinet carcass and a side panel. We assume the countertop above the washer-dryer would need to be secured to the wall and the side panel. Are our assumptions correct?

Another option would be to integrate the washer-dryer into a 60 × 60 × 80 cm (23.6 × 23.6 × 31.5 inches) cabinet carcass. That would be ideal since it would require less work on the plinth, and the appliance could be concealed behind a door. However, we suspect this will not work due to the appliance height.
Does anyone have experience with this or can recommend something?

Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Agustín

Hello.
Are our considerations correct?

Yes.

A washing machine does not fit into a cabinet either in height or width.
