Just found out that GFCI is now required for clothes dryers (2020 code).
The 30 amp GFCI breaker is $125!
Note that you are not required to have this if the dryer is hard wired into the system, but who does that? Still, how many times do you unplug your dryer? Be honest!
It was already bad enough having to use the $50 arc fault/gfci combo breakers (20) for all the other outlets, but I had thought maybe we would at least be able to use one of the regular cheap ones for the dryer.
I think I read there has been a grand total of 1 death in the last decade from someone plugging in a dryer, and that was a total misswired system.
