      In France, “lave-linge” and “machine à laver” are equally common. The first is masculine and the second feminine. For dryers, “sèche-linge” is definitely most common, and is masculine. Of course this might be very different in Quebec or other french-speaking regions.

        “La machine à laver,” or “la laveuse”

        But not all machines are X machine, some have specific names that could be either gender.
