If you want to stack a tumble dryer on top of a Hoover washing machine or a washer-dryer then you need a stacking kit ( Why do you need a stacking kit? ).
Stacking kits are usually very difficult to find. Most spares companies and retailers stock very few stacking kits and or sometimes just a few “universal” kits, which may or may not be suitable. This is because there isn’t a large enough demand for them, and there are so many different types. It’s relatively rare for people to want to stack a tumble dryer on top of a washing machine.
If your washing machine and tumble dryer are both made by Hoover there should be a kit specially designed to securely fix them together. Stacking kits are usually designed to secure the same style of appliance together as they share the same cabinet and size. If your Hoover tumble dryer is in a different model range from the Hoover washing machine it may be more difficult to get one although some of these kits do accommodate different model ranges. If one or both of your appliances are not made by Hoover then the kits are not likely to be suitable.

Where can I buy a Hoover stacking kit?
There are many spares sites including one created for Washerhelp (4Washerhelp). However, I reckon the best place to try and buy a Hoover stacking kit would be from Hoover themselves for the reasons mentioned above. I’ve already checked and these stacking kits are either not stocked, or are much more expensive than the list price because they are such a slow moving product.
To order Hoover stacking kits call 08443 712758 (Opening hours: Mon-Fri 8.30am – 5pm)
If you want a stacking kit for non Hoover models there are a few available here Search 4Washerhelp for all tumble dryer stacking kits including universal fits
Other than that try the individual appliance manufacturers as they are the only ones likely to stock many stacking kits although I’m sure you can order any from 4washerhelp.
