I haven't started playing with the washers yet, but I saw another thread that there was a shelf over the washer. Once the shelf was removed, the washer worked. Maybe you could check to see if there's anything over the washer.
My game won't recognize any washers/dryers. It errors out with the washtub as well. I took my CC out and tried it that way, I repaired the game...nothing is working :(

Hello @mimzi22
If you have shelving above the washer try removing it and see if that helps.
I have tried those methods, and I’ve just got a washtub outside so there isn’t a shelf over it. It’s just not working with it without CC and mods.
Hello @mimzi22
I am sorry that you are having these issues
Try resetting your sims 4 folder, starting a new save game file, and testing to see if it occurs there also . To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated.
Start a new game and test to see if the issue is in that new save game.
Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" or "options" file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder.
I had shelves above the washer and dryer so I removed those and they still didn't work. I also tried them stacked and they still didn't work. The was tub worked but that's all. I don't have any mods so I don't know what the problem could be. The packs shouldn't be released until they're properly working.

Hello @Kaylarenee96
If the washer and dryer are in a corner, move them away from the wall.
If there is a table beside them, move that away.
Repairing the game may help. To do that, go to games library in Origin, right click on the sims 4 picture and click repair
Hello there, having sort of a similar issue with the laundry day dryer, but I cannot create a separate thread yet. I discovered yesterday taking dirty clothes out of the washing machine and placing dirty clothes into the dryer. I was not allowed to make any further action so when cancelling, my sim took out the dirty clothes from the dryer and froze with the bag of laundry in hand and could not do anything else unless I reset my sim. Thank for your time :)

Hello @prettylamb
Has this occured multiple times? Does it occur each time your sim is doing the washing and drying ?
I made sure there was nothing above them and that they weren't in a corner. I deleted the cache files and repaired the game. I moved the file to the desktop to create a new game and they still aren't working.

Hello @Kaylarenee96
I am sorry that you are having these issues What occurs when you try to use them? After the dirty clothes goes into the hamper, do you have an option to do laundry in the washer?
This is a link to how to use the washers and dryers. Just in case you may be accidentally not doing it the way it needs to be done, check the link to see if that is how you are doing the laundry https://simsvip.com/sims-4-laundry-guide/#Laundry
When I click on the hamper It says that I don't have a washer or a dryer. It will only recognize the wash tub. When I click on the washer or dryer the only option is to upgrade them.

When you started the new game, did the same thing occur in a number of diferent homes, and with different households?
I am sorry I am not sure why this is occurring in your game
Try shutting down your computer completely. Start the computer again. Log into Origin. Repair the game again. Then launch the game, load your save game, sell the washer and dryer and then buy new ones. Have your sim have a shower so as dirty clothes go into the hamper. Then click on the hamper, and see if you can transfer the clothing to the washer.

Hello @mimzi22
If you have shelving above the washer try removing it and see if that helps.
Try moving the items to different positions.
If the issues remain, try moving your whole mods folder to the desktop. Delete the cache files.
https://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/delete-cache-files/
Then start the game and test to see if that helps the issues.
If the issues continue, try testing in a fresh new save game to see if the issues are there.
