depends on what room they're in

 

[MichaelJ]

dishwasher, micro, and ref in kitchen and clothes washer in laundry

dishwasher, micro, and ref in kitchen and clothes washer in laundry

no, no, no, and under 08' the last is questionable, but I vote no for it also

I agree with Mcclary's electrical. No AFCI protection is required for outlets in a laundry room or kitchen per the 2008 NEC 210.12.
