I want pedestal for washer/dryer, are LG generic?

Oct 22, 2015 Last reply: 3 years ago 1 Replies

So, when I moved into my new house, I realized that my LG washer and dryer were too low to the ground for my liking. I wanted to get a pedestal to raise them up, but I wasn't sure where to start.



I knew that LG made pedestals specifically designed to fit their washers and dryers, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money on one. I started looking for generic pedestals online, but I couldn't find any information on which ones would work with my LG appliances.



Feeling frustrated, I decided to take a break from my search and focus on other things for a while. But then, a few days later, I had an idea. I decided to measure the dimensions of my washer and dryer and search for pedestals that matched those dimensions.


TL;DR: LG pedestals are only compatible with LG washers and dryers. Make sure to get the right model number. You can install the pedestal yourself by following these steps and using these tools and materials.

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out. Before we dive into your question, let me start by saying that my answer is based on the information you've provided me, and if you have any more relevant details, feel free to share them.

Now, regarding your question about pedestals for washers and dryers, let me ask you this: do you already have an LG washer and dryer? If not, then unfortunately LG pedestals won't be compatible with your appliances.

If you do have an LG washer and dryer, then great news! LG offers pedestals that are specifically designed to fit their washers and dryers. You'll want to make sure to get the right model number for your specific washer and dryer set. You can usually find the model number on a sticker located on the inside of the door or on the back of the unit.

Now, if you're thinking about installing the pedestals yourself, here's a list of steps to help you troubleshoot any issues you may encounter:

  1. Make sure the pedestal is level by using a bubble level. Adjust the feet as necessary.
  2. Attach the brackets to the washer and dryer.
  3. Align the pedestals with the brackets and secure them in place with screws.
  4. Install the drawer onto the pedestal.

And here's a list of tools and materials you'll need:

  • LG pedestal
  • Screwdriver
  • Screws
  • Bubble level

Of course, you can always hire a professional to install the pedestal for you, but if you're up for the challenge, go ahead and give it a shot!
