Maximum tumble-dryer dimensions
Enter the measurements above to calculate maximum tumble-dryer dimensions.
How the calculation works
V9 calculation: maxDryerWidth=max(0,nicheWidth-2×sideClearance); maxDryerHeight=max(0,nicheHeight-topClearance); maxDryerDepth=max(0,nicheDepth-rearVentClearance). The result is reported as maximum tumble-dryer dimensions.
Worked example
Example: Niche width = 65 cm; Niche height = 90 cm; Niche depth = 75 cm; Rear vent/service clearance = 10 cm; Side clearance = 2 cm; Top clearance = 3 cm. Result: Max Dryer Depth = 65 cm; Max Dryer Height = 87 cm; Max Dryer Width = 61 cm.

Use the current manufacturer, brand, league or governing-body specification for the final labelled size or rule; those external charts can change and are not treated as universal constants.
