Mounting clothes dryer on wall

I have a clothes dryer that I want to mount on my laundry wall - the interior walls are plasterboard/gyprock.

I have the bracket to mount, but I assume I can't just mount a heavy dryer straight onto the wall..

Can anyone advise the best plan of attack for acheiving this? Do I mount a few timbers behind the dryer and make sure they are firmly attached to wall struts?

Any help would be appreciated.

Just find the studs in the wall and screw the bracket through the gyprock into the timber ... I have mounted 2 dryers this way with no probs ...

That will work if the bracket spacing and the stud spacings are the same. It also assumes that you want your dryer exactly where the studs are, which may not be the case. We bolted a hotizontal piece of timber to the wall studs in our old house, painted it to match the wall, then mounted the dryer on that, which worked OK. You could just see the ends of the timber if you looked for them. I think we also had to add a spacer at the bottom so the dryer hung straight.

Even if the bracket spacing had been right for the studs, we'd have been left with our dryer mounted off-centre from the washing machine which, apart from looking awful, would have restricted placement of cupboards.

We followed the same procedure as Kek and we have had no problems. This was nearly 2 years ago. We have added the silver ducting to take the hot air outside and we have had no moisture problems at all. The space you save is great as we have a tiny laundry. In fact, it was one of our better decisions.

we did the same as kek in our last two houses.I have not got around to mounting my dryer on the wall in the new house.as I am waiting to buy a front loader so will just put it on top on the that

Washer/dryer stacks are the BEST. No more mounting dryers on walls and having to fill holes from the old one and mount new and different-sized brackets.

I love my front loader and stackable dryer for the space saving.

my laundry in my new home does not have much space as there is a linen cupboard.it a really bumper because I brought a new top loading washing machince for the new house its about 2 years old.And now have decided due to space will go for a frontloader.it seems a waste if I had know the laundry had lack of space would not have brought it, The problem was as the house is a acreage home it was not on display so we only had the plan too look at so it was hard to work out size of things. would you believe we even mapped it out at our old house in the middle of our 13 acres still could get sizes so hard

Depends which bracket you use , i use the ones from bunnings and have always been able to mount the dryer exactly where i wanted ...

When we moved in I used 4x 8mm dyna bolts into the brick wall. It was all I had.

It wasn't what our dryer needed!!!!!

Whoops, it came away with a dent. No cracked tiles either I pulled it apart and it looked fine internally. Then I ran it outside to see if it was sound and it didn't catch fire or smell funny. So put the dyna bolts in it really needed and hasn't been used since 2 years ago

Do you know why some dryers can not be mounted?
I just bought Miele dryer and found out I can't mount it.
Is it because of their weight? or something else?
