Say one of the smaller units with front controls. Mounted like an upper cabinet in a kitchen, done so upside down to make the controls more accessible. Actually it would make the drum a bit more accessible too it would seem. Sort of a DIY, two piece, laundry center.

In short, no The dryer sits on glides or wheels, which would be in the wrong spot if inverted. I remember a guy that did something similar one time, but he removed the entire console and rerouted the harness to a lower spot. Read: Frankenstein | ||

Fisher and Paykel did have dryers that allowed upside down mounting. They even supplied a new upside down facia sticker... | ||

if your going through all the trouble, why not just get a TL or FL stacked set.....
most likely less headaches installing that trying to find one to mount upside down, finding studs to mount it to, plus venting issues... capacity could be another issue..... theres several styles and setups...although I would stick with the agitator model

not that specific model becaus ethe lint filter would never stop where it should be. Every time you open the door it would fall. | ||

Upside down, Down Under
I lived in Australia for a while and saw lots of 'upside down' wall mounted dryers there. They were really easy to operate and load / unload being at a better height. It was common to have them above a top loading washing machine, just above the height of where the lid of the top loader opened to.
I'm not sure if they were built differently or not. I'm sure someone from Oz will have more info ..... Mike. | ||
