Questionable to Stack

Samsung Gas Dryer DV328 —
Purchased VRT steam washer and gas dryer for relocation to second floor and have the pair stacked in a very tight space. Regardless of how quiet the machines are, moving them upstairs next to our bedrooms is unquestionably louder than when older machines were in the basement. After six weeks of average use (family of four; six loads a week), the dryer stopped heating as the igniter fryed. The initial service representive suggested this to be a rare occurence, stating he only replaces 2 -3 a year. Turns out that the samsung dryer does not use a standard igniter and the part needed to be special ordered. The service rep who came back the following week to install the new igniter suggested this to be a frequent occurence on washer / dryer sets that are stacked as the igniter is quite sensitive and the washer vibrations tend to cause the part to break. Jury is still out on final determination; next time it breaks I'll respond (hopefully you don't hear from me again!).
