Stacked Washer and Dryer Power Source

[Bob Elliott]

I just can't figure for the life of me why a double stack if it was wired at 220v would need to have a 110v recepticle jammed in there.
Especialy if there was one that could actualy be used just outside the door.
Oh well just shows how reality has nothing to do with code.
Maybe they could use a screw in adapter on the bare bulb socket above the inside door (just kidding)

Whats not reality about it, their is no need for a dryer tehnically if someone wants to use a cloth hanger line to dry them....but possibly someone would want a washer machine only in that location....the laundry requirement would afford this......having a drying not nearly as important as having the ability to facilitate a washer machine.

Excellent point....what they should take away from that is the Laundry Circuit is required....regardless.

I have always heard the "laundry" circuit had more to do with irons than washing machines (for you kids that was something that took wrinkles out of clothes back in the olden days) but I assume it has to do with using both at the same time.
