what type of outlet to use with washing machine
Homeowners may mistakenly believe that a washing machine, being a water-using appliance, requires a GFCI outlet. In fact, GFCIs are not required if you only have a washing machine in your laundry room. If, however, there is a sink within six feet of the washing machine outlet, a GFCI outlet is required.f your washing machine requires 240 V to operate, your outlet will need to be wired for that voltage level and have a plug configuration that matches your washing machine's power plug.
