bathroom and washing machine GFCI question
Hello all,
I have a question about how to rewire my bathroom. Here is the current setup: 20 amp breaker | | not sure what gauge wire in conduit | 4 outlets in 1 junction box (washing machine, dryer, and freezer plug in here) | | 14 gauge wire no ground (romex) | outlet in bathroom (not GFCI) | | not sure what gauge wire (romex) but it looks like 14 gauge | light switch | | not sure what gauge wire (romex) but it looks like 14 gauge | fluorescent light I know I definitely need a GFCI outlet in bathroom because the outlet is next to the sink. The question I have is does the washing machine need to have a GFCI outlet as well? If it does I would just buy a GFCI circuit breaker, replace the ungrounded romex with grounded romex and call it done. I remember from a long time ago a friend told me that fluorescent lights should not be on a GFCI outlet, I recall something about the ballast. Is this still true? I live in Indiana if that information helps. Thanks, Jason |
