Hello, not sure where to post this. We have a Maytag YMED7100 electrical dryer purchased 2015. We have a top loading washer, but want to stack the 7100 to save space in a newly renovated laundry room. We want to purchase the MHW8200FC. The width is the same (27") and the depth seems to be almost the same (31" for the dryer vs. 32 15/16" for the washer), and both are listed as requiring the same stacking kit (W10298318). It seems to me that the same kit could be used to stack different pairs in differently located mounting brackets (and therefore the 7100 and 8200 might not fit). When I contact Maytag, I get different answers depending on who I speak to. They either say they can only recommend stacking the matching pair, or they say well if it's the same dimensions, then it *should* work. But it should also be possible for someone at Maytag to consult the two schematics to check. Can't get anyone to do that though. FWIW - we want to purchase the MHW8200FC because it seems to be a better and newer product than the 7100 washer, and we are able to purchase it for $400 less. Any suggestions greatly appreciated! Thank you, Dave
