Gfi outlet accessible in appliance garage?

[FionaZuppa]

I would have to agree with this. That will bring us back to the beginning. Does an appliance garage, or anything stored within it, render the outlet not-readily-accessible, in the context of the NEC definition of that phrase? I see that I had described that as being open to debate, in the similar thread from 6 years ago. I gather that it still is.

if climbing 6 flights of fixed ladder is ok, then in my view a recept in a appl. garage is ok too.

the definition is based on effort, and i see no effort to get to a recept in a appl. garage, unless the appliance has a 40lb iron base or made of 60lb concrete, and either of those fully block the recept, but those are not likely.
