Wire size question for washing machine, 14 guage?

Definitly with ground! I'm also going to put a GFCI outlet on the washer outlet, and the ones near the kitchen and bathroom sinks.

I'm still in the 'reconaisance' mode of this job. I've found a couple things that are going to need profesional attention but the seller was supposed to deal with those within one month of the closing, I'm hopeful that what has been done with the C/B box and meter are not considerred finished!

The newly installed breaker box has no master shut-off and they hung a meter above the meter box and duct-taped the whole where the meter should have been!

I have a licensed eletrician that I can trust with those jobs though, if she can't get the seller to finish them. Meters and masters are outside my comfort zone. I'll let you know what other surprises I ifnd.
