We live in a 2 yr old Gardenia south of 466A. Our 18 month old LG washer and dryer each measure 29-1/2" from back of machine to front of control knob. They are installed about 2-1/2 inches from back wall to allow room for hose fitting/dryer vent. We still have no problem with house door swing. See attached photos.

Hope that helps. :thumb up:

How are your appliances installed so close to the wall? I was told by Lowes and Home Depot the closest the dryer could be installed to the wall is 5 inches. Any closer and there will be no room for the venting.
