Samsung small stacking washer/dryer. I am concerned about srewing the stacking kit to the washer and making holes in the top. Is this actually what needs to be done. Thank you.
Re: I am concerned about srewing the stacking kit to
Maybe, depends on the age of the washer; you should be able to use the screws that come with the stacking kit.... which screw into existing holes in the washer.

You can stack just about any dryer on any washer, so long that the controls of the washer are on the the top of the washer has no penetrations and no control.In general, dryers are independent from the washer and are light weight.
So the conclusion: so long that the dryer does not interfere with operating the washer - YOU ARE A OK :-)
You do not state the type of stacking kit installed on your Bosch washer. The installation instructions of one of the stacking kits is found at the site Assemby Instructions Bosch Axxis Stacking Kit /WTZ11310.pdf . First remove the front concealment strip to expose the front of the mounting kit. Gently pry with a wooden tool to prevent damage. Once the it is exposed, there are two clip inserts in front of the dryer feet that must be removed. Once these are removed, you pull or slide the dryer forward to release them from the stacking kit and simply lift the dryer off of the stacking kit and the washer. The stacking kit itself is attached to the washing machine with four screws that must be removed to separate the kit from the washer top. And with that, your dryer and washer are separated!
But after separation there are two additional problems that may be bothersome to you. The first is that you now have mounting holes in the top of the washer that are exposed and the second is that the feet on your dryer may need to be replaced as parts of the feet may have been tossed during installation of the stacking kit and may need to be replaced.
The assembly instructions above show only the basic stacking kit. Some kits included a slide that pulls out to allow for a handy tray but the installation or disassembly is nearly the same.
this is possible, youll need a kit that sets on top of the washer,check back where you bought the washer and dryer, they make a washer and dryer combo thats one peice, they are smaller however
Been a while since I did one, but as I recall: Two side pieces secure to top of washer with peel off tape and a screw into the top at the very back of the washer's top. Dryer sets on top of washer with back legs sliding into the stack kit side parts. Front rail holds front dryer legs, secured by one screw on each side into stack kit side pieces after dryer is set on top of washer.
measure your dryer carefully and check with the dealer where you wish to purchase a machine, regarding
the stacking kit. It may work. They are general standard sized. Don't ry to gerry rig anything or you may have big problems. In your case I recommend using a well known SMALL appliance store that does theri own installations, so they will bring what they may need, but if yours works, they can still use it.Good Luck
You have to take the top off the washer a put it aside. You no longer need the top. Then you put the two angle brackets on the front top of the washer. this is where the front of the dryer will attach. The back of the washer either has or needs the brackets put on the top (been a long time since I did this). Remove the leveling legs from the dryer. Then lift the dryer and slide it on top of the washer with the back touching the top of the washer and the front about 2 inches higher than the washer top. The back of the dryer slides into the back brackets which are on the top back of the washer. Then lower the front of the dryer and the two "L" brackets on the front top of the washer slide through cracks into the dryer. Pop off the two plastic plugs on the dryer bottom front and place a screw in each one to hold the unit in place. Replace the plastic caps and you are done.
Not in the way you have described!...LOL. Seriously though, I can only discern that if you have selected the maximum water level available, then you are overlaoding it and need to remove enough items so that when the washer agitates, the clothes will circulate down and around the agitator, reappearing up at the top in different quadrants of the wash tub. This is true with any level you select. Another guideline to help choose the water level is to keep the items at or below the 3 oblong vertical hole slots in the side of the agitator. Then choose small, medium, or large water level.
If that doesn't help, then post me back with a more definitive description of the issue you are experiencing and any negative results you are having concerning the issue..
Good luck Dan!
