You are in the basement performing an inspection and notice the washing machine and dryer. You are not required to inspect the connections of the washing machine. Home inspectors are not required to inspect installed appliances at all. Whether or not the appliances work is an issue to be resolved between the seller and buyer. The same holds true for the remaining life expectancy of each appliance. You do need to check the exhaust vent to make sure that gas fumes are not building up inside the home.
