The game claims I have no washing machine

I have had this bug three times now, same household:
Suddenly the washing machine stops being usable. First two times I fixed it by selling it and buying a new one. This does not work this time.
I have tried:
Repairing the game - Doesn't work.
Removing every item on and above and around machine - Doesn't work.
Moving the machine out where there's at least 4 squares empty in EVERY direction - Doesn't work.
Deleting the machine and buying a new one - Doesn't work.
I guess I just remove all the laundry equipment from my lot and pretend I never bought the pack until this is patched.

Try seeing if having your sims travel to another lot then back home again may help.
Try moving your sims to another home then back to the original home and see if that helps the issue.

Traveling: No.
Moving? Not worth the hassle. Didn't try.
What DID work was buying a wash TOWER.
If I deleted both the dryer and the washer, then instead of buying a new washer bought a TOWER then it worked.
Weird. I guess it makes 🐸🐸🐸🐸 sure nothing is blocking the washer if the dryer fits on top of it...

It was after I split the tower up into two units that it started misbehaving.
Is the tower identical, coding wise as two machines? Or are there minor difference in the code? Might be a good thing to investigate?
I have wondered the same thing myself, because when I tried to split up a tower i had to use the 0 key to put the dryer on the floor. You would think it it were coded as a regular dryer it would immediately clip to the floor once it was separated from the top of the washer.
Hello
There may be small coding differences between a tower and the two machines. It may be designed for the two parts of the tower to remain together.

Did this happen even if you have a tower?
As far as my experience go it has NEVER happened if you have a tower. If they stand side by side you can't have ANY ´decorations OR windows on the entire wall they are standing against, or they get corrupted eventually.
