Does wash machine require GFIC protection?

Electric washing machine? I've seen them with gas engines, but that was before GFCIs were around.:grin:

This is in a free standing steel building which will store a travel trailer and one automoble. It is a washer /dryer setup alongside a water heater.

Then I would say there is NO requirement for GFCI protection

 

[cowboyjwc]

I would agree with Roger.

Is this free standing steel building an accessory building to a single family dwelling unit?

If it is then 210.8(A)(2) would apply.

"Does the washer need to be on a GFIC protected circuit? "

I do not she needs GFCI protection. I do not let her turn the dryer on while here hands are in the sink. LOL

I did say yes and no so I threw in two examples. The list wasn't meant to be all inclusive to every possible scenario.

With a yes and a no, I think you pretty much covered every scenario.:grin:

Depends on what code cycle you are under.

The exceptions to 210.8(A)(2) were eliminated in the 2008 NEC.

Install a single receptacle for a no. Duplex=yes.

Then I stand corrected. GFCI required.

There is no residence "YET"! Just a steel building to house a car and a travel trailer. Owner wants ability to wash clothes-re: hot water heater,washer and dryer. House will be built in the future with a laundry room in the floor plan layout.

Live in the trailer while the house is being built?

Well since I'm still on the '05 then I am still correct.
