Why unplug the washer and dryer? How do they pull current? The other things I can see, especially if they have a timer function, but the washer and dryer?

I did some research, but can’t remember all of the sources. What I found was that everything in your house pulls power, except for your lamps! If it plugs in, it pulls power, even when not in operation.

I didn’t go so far as to unplug the fridge, stove or main DVR center, so I am sure I could make one more stride. My dryer is a gas dryer, so I only have to deal with the 110v outlet. I am not so gutsy to mess with the 220v’olters!
