Lowe’s will stack your units if both units in a stackable set are purchased together. Lowe’s will add stacking to the basic installation service provided. A newly purchased stacking kit is required for this service.

Lowe’s won’t stack a washer or dryer with an existing washer or dryer as we can’t guarantee fit, suitability of the existing unit, or other critical items, such as the manufacturer’s warranty, when systems are mixed. In the event a single unit is purchased, either washer or dryer, only basic installation will be offered.

Please Note: In the event that Lowe’s must split the delivery of a purchased washer and dryer set due to lead time or other reasons, stacking will still be included upon the delivery of the second unit, provided the stacking kit is available at the time of the second delivery. Gas dryer installation must also still be purchased.
