Hey all - quick update on this. We're aware of it and looking into it. In examining it further, it's a riskier fix than we originally anticipated, that requires digging into some deeper parts of the game's code.
For those of you who choose to use the mod that someone in the community made as a fix, generally that'll serve you ok. A word of caution though... we implemented something we call "connectivity checks" for laundry. Essentially what that means is that, if a Sim goes around picking up laundry to put it in a hamper or to wash it, they run a test beforehand to ensure that they're able to route to each piece of laundry, and will only go to the ones they can successfully reach, while ignoring others they can't get to (such as a laundry pile that's behind a locked door). If you use the mod, it will disable these connectivity checks... so if you do things like locking doors for particular Sims in your home, you may experience your Sim having difficulty collecting all of the laundry on your lot, or will try to collect laundry multiple times and continue to fail.
The simplest solution that I'd recommend for the time being is to just not place a shelf above your washer/dryer units.
