Can I put a dryer in this space?
This is all wasted space in my bathroom. There was a very deep cabinet here about 4' off the ground.
If I come up about 3 feet I could make a box the dryer would fit perfectly in. Totally being awesome as I could have both washer and dryer In the bathroom.
Question is, can i do it? how much room does an electric dryer need around it?
Total fire hazard and completely illegal?
I would just blow a hole out the right hand wall for the vent.
I've seen Those stackable ones in some pretty tight closets and others as well crammed in behind closed doors.
I havent exactly measured yet but I'm guessing theyll be a couple inches either side.

As long as you have room to turn your vent hose/pipe, I dont see why not. Need to get dedicated power in there, frame a platform, insullate and rock it. As long as you have the width and don't have to go too high for the depth. Take a good look at where your controls on the dryer are. Call me with clearances. I gotta go to the airport.

I'd make sure that platform is solid or your whole house might resonate when you dry a big load.

Joking aside...
I echo Spencer's comment. I have my w/d in second floor bathroom and have had to deal with more that a few cracks in the wall due to vibrations. I have even placed foam matting under them and still get the shakes.

Dryers become unbalanced very easily with wet clothes all on one side and vibrate like hell, especially front loaders.
Frame & plan accordingly.
