@nualla_6109 I downloaded and placed your lot and ran a whole lot of experiments. I found several things that may or may not be of any consolation to you:

When I placed your lot I had the same issue. My Sim would not put food away via the 'put away' command, giving a routing error bubble:
I tried experimenting many of the normal suspects. Some of these experiments included: I moved your MOO placed sprinkler system. I tried moving various items from the kitchen, all the way to removing everything, I removed the wash tub from the porch, removed the stairs, I made a new kitchen room over the other one with a new door and a different refrigerator from basegame (actually, I did many refrigerator experiments). I tried removing the washer and dryer. Nothing fixed the routing error bubble.
So... I deleted the entire first floor of the lot. Then the sim would 'put away' the food successfully:

So... there is obviously something blocking or bugged on the first floor of the lot. You used MOO pretty heavily on the lot (I do that too and know the risks well 😉). I didn't look around to notice if you used debug items also, but I did see you resized some items too. All of these things cause the need to heavily playtest afterward. If you want to keep this lot I would recommend thoroughly playtesting and troubleshooting all items MOO or alt placed, enlarged or shrunk, and debug items on the first floor. You may end up needing to re-make the first floor.

Sorry this is not simpler advice, but it at least gives you a place to start. Good luck... and nice home! 🙌

Thank you very much for this! I will certainly be checking all of these items to find the culprit :D

@SheriGR well I very quickly found the culprit ... I had a debug object on the porch that I was using for decorative purposes 😞

  Hey, having the same problem with the fridge - I have a MOO and a lot of debug objects and was curious - was the debug objects anywhere near the fridge? I have debug objects but they aren't anywhere near the fridge and without MOO it places just fine - I always try without MOO just to be sure nothing is blocking their use when building.
  If it can be anywhere on the lot, i have a lot to delete.

    @gnd968 I would guess that in the case of the debug item @nualla_6109 mentioned causing her issue it may have to do with the particular debug item. I think the item was a delivery bag from the grocery store, so I would guess there may have been an interaction glitch interfering in some manner. Sometimes in such a case the item does not need to be physically blocking or alt/MOO placed to cause the issue. So I guess you could check if there are any debug items that you added that would normally have only appeared on a lot via a game function/interaction (such as a delivery bag from the grocery store).
