Dishwasher Both GFCI and ARFCI 2014 NEC

[gjhayes66]

I think this has been talked about but I'm ready to start working on my first 2014 NEC house. Does the dishwasher (hard wired) in a kitchen require both GFCI and AFCI protection.

Thanks a bunch.

Under the 2014 code, yes, the branch circuit that supplies a dwelling unit dishwasher must have AFCI protection and the outlet that serves the dishwasher must have GFCI protection.

And the GFCI must remain accessible.

I would put a faceless GFCI at the panel.

Actually it must be "readily accessible", but if you have a first printing soft cover code book, you would not know that.

The text in the first edition only requires that GFCIs required by 210.8(A) though (C) be readily accessible.

Item #1 in Errata #2 corrects that printing error.

1. In 210.8 change the reference in the first sentence from: ?210.8(A) through (C)? to ?210.8(A) through (D).?
