I did this a long time ago because the back entrance to my house was though the laundry room. It turned out great and held up. I did the whole washer and dryer with two different grey patterns, The door for the washer was covered in the paper for the dryer. The door for the dryer was cover in the paper from the washer.

The heat from the dryer could possibly release chemicals in the air from the Contact Paper. I would imagine it recommends not to place near heat .

The steam and damp from the washer will loosen the contact paper from the washer lid after the 1st wash or 2.
@Photocapturer4 ай бұрын
You know, you can reverse the hinged side of your dryer door so it’ll hinge on the left side. That way, as you remove damp clothes from your washer, the door will not be knocking you in your legs while you’re doing that task. The instruction manual should have a detailed explanation on how to reverse the door.

It does. But if you’re planning on just using it for a year or two then it isn’t too bad. I prefer rustoleum appliance paint. Easier to redo after a year or two than it is with contact paper. I’ve done both.

@@deltarain4030make sure if you are covering or painting the dryer to use high heat paint. I have sent dryers out for repainting before and the paint is more of a glaze that has to be cured in a kiln.
