I was doing some re-arranging and apparently it was the curtains that were blocking the washing machine! One was in of the washing machine but to the side (If that makes any sense) and the other was on the same wall panel as the dryer.

- 7 years agoIm a console user and I have had the same problem. If I put laundry in the machine before my SIM went to his job (detective career) and followed him to work. At end of his shift the the machine would have lights on as if still washing the load but no interaction options to remove and add to dryer and no option to add new laundry. 2 SIM days went by with not being able to use the machine. I had to go into build mode to replace. Then same thing happened following day. So I got my SIM to quit the detective career. (That career gave a separate bug where I can't interrogate suspect)
