Oops, sorry again. I seem to be suffering from multiple computer multiple

Washers contain an AC motor; any possibility of the GFI outlet
'tripping'. (Due to momentary unbalance currents).
Thinking of the same reason that GFIs not recommended for fridges etc.
that also contain motor!

Refrigeration that plugs into 15/20A 120V receptacles in commercial
kitchens has to be on GFCI protected circuits. The problem is leakage,
not imbalance. As John said, these days appliances in good repair should
not trip GFCIs.
