All those years of school and lecturing from my teachers only to discover it was all lies… thank anyway I guess.

A machine in french is feminine. It come from latin machina (μαχανά in Greek) which is feminine (-ina suffix is feminine). Washing is just a verb so it have no influence on the “gender”.

A washing machine -> Une machine à laver
