Removing a GFI outlet in laundry room
NEC 2017, which is the most adopted version currently, requires at least one dedicated 20A circuit to at least one or all receptacles in the laundry room and all require GFCI protection -- 210.8(A)(10) and they should be accessible where they can be tested and reset as per the manufacturer instructions.  This means not stuffed behind the washer at the bottom where you can't reach it without having to remove the washer.

Also worth noting is the laundry room lights are NOT allowed to be on the laundry circuit.  I know a lot of people have their washer and dryer in the most odd places so this is a often overlooked code for older homes.

For your current situation I'd recommend getting a different model washing machine as safety from GFCI protection can be the difference of life and death.
