Un lave linge, une machine à laver le linge, un lave vaisselle, une machine à laver la vaisselle. It actually all depend on they way you phrase it. Agreed though. It was mostly for the joke.
Because “people” (my french self included) would just say (most of the time) “la machine à laver” (or even shorter : la machine) and out of context, you’d figure out which of the 2 is actually talked about.
Also, as “machine à laver” litterally translate to “washing machine”, it didn’t even occure to me that it had to be understood as laundry machine, hence why I initially said it was a “she”.

I never heard anybody say la machine à laver la vaisselle, it sounds way too verbose, everyone says le lave vaisselle
