My washer won't drain the dirty water, so I got a new one. I decided to buy a dryer along with it, so I can replace both of the old ones. Unfortunately, my bathroom doorway is 24", and my old dryer's dimensions are: H 35 x W 29 x D 25.5. The washer/dryer won't be able to fit through the door. Is there a possible way to take apart the dryer and reconstruct it again, or another solution?

My door doesn't have a trim; it's exactly 24" width.

I have to pass to two of 24" width doors.

How did the dryer GET into the room? Did you build the house around it?
By the way, measure the door from the top right corner to the bottom left corner .... that is the maximum width that will go through the door. It is probably around 87 inches.
You need to rotate the appliance at an angle.

Have the door and frame removed... this will get you at least another inch and a half, probably more. This is most likely a lot easier than trying to demolish the dryer.
By removing the vertical trim from one side, you can measure the opening, before actually taking the door and jambs out. I wouldnt be surprised if youve got a prehung door there, so removing it will be pretty easy.
I had a set up similar to this when we bought our home, heheh.. and yeah... they built the bathroom around the washer and dryer. My wife didnt like having them in the bathroom, so I just removed the wall beside them, took them out that way, and relocated the wall, (brought it in closer)....then I was able to put the washer and dryer on the other side of the new wall, which is actually part of an addition. I could have removed the door to get them out... but I had to relocate the wall for her anyway, so I just moved them when I did that.
Good Luck

If your doorway is only 24" you're not only going to have a problem with the dryer but any item much larger than a bag of groceries.
I hope you're not going to be in the market for any new furniture. Can you widen the door.

Take the door off if it is there, that will give you at least another inch or so. If that still does not work, you can take the door jam off being carefull not to damage it. The door jam is the frame that the door sits in.and also then instead of taking the dryer in from the front or back, take it in from one of the sides. Good luck.

How big is your window...I have gotten things into my house by going through a big window. Chances are...the bathroom window is even smaller than door width.
The only other thing to do would be to take the door frame apart. I would even try to take apart the dryer, If it's new...there goes your warranty. You might be able to just remove those narrow strips of board that are inside door jam. That might give you enough room.

If your door is trimmed, you can try removing the trim and the doorframe and get yourself a couple of inches extra. This seems easier than taking apart your new dryer.

Change the doorway into a 30" wide doorway.

Will it make the doorway larger if you remove the door to
your bathroom?
This might give you two inches to move it sideways.

try turning it in several different directions. chances are it was manipulated into the room at an odd angle.
