No not if you don't want to get the required electric equipment needed

to branch

off like this and most of the time it will cost as much as running new

to it. Now cost effective usely ends up with a new circuit there.

What might the "required electric equipment" be?



A one-space fuse box, or safety switch with a breaker or fuse in it.
The dryer is a 30A circuit, and the washer needs currect protection at
15A or 20A. Also, you probably need a GFCI for the washer. There are
fuse holders for edison fuses that fit in a standard electrical box. I
don't know if you could find one to fit one side of a double box and
have a space for a Decora receptical (for the GFCI) with a matching
cover plate.

You also might end up tripping the breaker for the dryer with this
arrangement if you run the washing machine while the dryer is running on
a high-heat cycle.
