My understanding is that the GFI requirement for dishwashers was added in response to manufacturers who were concerned about appliance fires or failures.

Why was the requirement in laundry areas changed from (with-in 6' feet of a sink) to (laundry areas)?
Was there a concern about washers or some other reason unrelated to the washers?
