Laundry appliances stop working - Sims 4 on Mac

Every so often but very consistently the washing machine and/or drier stops working. It happens usually after its been run with laundry in it, the machine gets stuck with green light on and when clicking on it it's impossible to interact with the object. I have found even Resetting the object doesn't work, the only solution I have found is to sell and purchase a new machine. when exiting the game and entering it again the machine still won't work until replaced with a new one.

I have always encountered this bug with the Laundry day pack which I have had for a months.
