Your washer and dryer should be on seperate breakers for a start or is it one unit that just plugs in to 220? Sounds like something is wrong with the breaker, it could be faulty. They are pretty cheap if you want to try another one, and you can always use a spare. The W/D unit could have a fault too, which contributed to the breaker failure.
The bathroom/kitchen GFI can be a pain, the outlet is big and can sit close to the box, shorting out easily, Pop the cover off and make sure it's centered in the box. (throw the breaker first)
If you have light in the area and want to pop the cover off your panel go ahead, but shut off the main before you do. Way to easy to hurt yourself.
