I am installing a washer/dryer in a newly constructed addition. I want to power the addition from a sub-panel, and I want to put that panel in the laundry closet.
Are there restrictions on installing that panel near the washer or in the closet itself?

Thanks,
DougE
 
There's a requirement that there be working space in front of the panel, 30" wide and 36" deep. The 30" does not need to be centered on the panel. Nothing including shelving can be in that space. No clothing or other flammable items can be stored in the closet. You can install a panel near a washer, but not behind it.
