I had the same problem and I’m taking this kit back after seeing this video . I got the washer and dryer 3 days ago . Thanks for the video because I think that they sold the wrong kit .. thanks again

Same. My holes were all off by at least 1/4. I just bent the bracket to fit the 1 bolt screw

In the instructions, under where it says washer, is a caution ⚠️ saying that you need to use the proper rear bracket depending on your washer model. (There are 2 different rear brackets provided in the kit). I'm just now putting mine together and investigated it some after watching your video. I think you need to use the shorter wider brackets. 🤔 I'm not 100% sure as I said I am just now tackling this myself. Good luck! I hope you got it figured out! 👍

Right, I'm trying both sets of brackets and no fit either set.

The instructions say that the bigger brackets are for the 27” washer/ dryer. It’s wrong. The smaller brackets are for the 27” not the 30”. I had the same issue until I tried the other brackets and yay. It works perfect.

It only needs to last 2.5 yrs. By then you'll be having issues with the drum felt and controller board which will cost very close to the cost of replacement. Ours was installed by HD delivery and done wrong they never connected the water line for the dryer steam either. By the time my wife realized that the steam feature did nothing and called HD was told it was to late to call the original delivery company back out. They sent a independent repairman out who installed hose kit and said this happens frequently. Either way Samsung CS is close to worthless at least for appliance issues. Bad dryer, refrigerator and stove with terrible customer service. Is there a better brand out there? Who knows!

Hey folks, so I figured it out. So if you have the 27 inch model DO NOT USE THE ONES SHOWN HERE. You need to use the short stubby set. Take the existing screw that is in the machine out. Ne Next take one Pan screw and put it in the top corner slaughtered a sloted hole of the bracket. Take the screw that you took from the back panel of the machine and put it back Into the bottom left hand slot on the bracket. Next put in the remaining screws one more on the top left corner and 1 more in the bottom right of the bracket put them in loosely do not tighten anything until you get the other side on once you get them shattered and on tighten everything up up I will try to send a picture or do a video and post it here in a few minutes Hope this helps you guys it did me thanks have a good day.

Yes clearly that’s how it’s supposed to work. I held up the first bracket. It didn’t line up. Instead of installing it and making a complaining video for KZread, I tried the other supplies brackets. Fit perfect. Glad I am able to figure easy things like this out on my own instead of just forcing the wrong brackets on my machines and then complaining via KZread🤣😬

Same issue! We bought ours from Amazon. The screw holes do not fit the hex screws.

Just move the brackets over an inch or 2 and drill new holes. There is nothing to worry about when drilling into the dryer because that low down there is nothing to drill into inside the dryer. As for the washer, it has a top cover that I would drill into instead of drilling into the cabinet because there are components you can drill into inside the cabinet. You can only hit air if you drill into the cover.

Nah. LOL. Thank you for the comment though. Brackets are incorrectly made. Alas it keeps my dryer I place so not too big of an issue.

See my channel i have video on what an 8k looks like and what skk7a looks like. 2 videos. The one in your video is a skk7a. . Sounds like amazon shipped you a 7a in an 8k box. Somebody likely bought an 8k and returned their 7a into the box (a cheap dishonest way to upgrade brackets when getting a new washer requires 8k as its compatible with older dryers)and amazon resold it not noticing the difference as they are similar. Go out by 8k from samsung or best buy and make sure you have correct one. Using a 7a with 1 screw where an 8k is required with 2 screws is very dangerous. Samsung machines vibrate a lot and vibrate more as they get older. Also if dryer screw is not tightening either your bracket or dryer hole is stripped. Maybe a miniature plug or modification could help with that. The holes on these samsung washer and dryers strip easily do not use drills.

Of the 2 sets of brackets that were included these were the only ones that remotely fit. It is possible that they sent the wrong brackets entirely. But at the end of the day the dryer is remaining mounted on top of the washer without shaking off. Lol. So I’m happy about that at least. Lol. Thanks for your input:)

You have the wrong brackets. I purchase the same stacking kit from Lowes (in a Samsung box) and it comes with two set of brackets, the one you show and a second set that lines up perfectly with the holes on both the washer & dryer. Also comes with the correct screws (larger) for the washer. You mentioned your purchased the kit on Amazon, which must have been an aftermarket kit that did not include the alternative brackets and screws (common problem on Amazon). Buyer beware.
