Can a dryer be laid on its side and still function... With a wash device sitting lying on it? This is the only mode we can fit our dryer and washer...

This is the only mode we can fit our dryer and washer inside our poorly small closet that doesn't allow enough room for both of them, due to the threshold of the space. So we be wondering if this would work. . . lol I know it sounds a bit ridiculous
Answers:    I wouldn't recommend it. The dryer would probably over heat and the washer would be bad balance. You would enjoy a big mess and or a fire hazard. Try getting a stackable washer & dryer.:)
Aye! You'll Burn yer House down!
