In Spanish it even depends on which dialect you're speaking.

In some places it's "la lavadora" (she/her), and in other places it's "el lavarropas" (he/him).

It's like butter in German, which in some regions is female.

Where?

I heard it's female in the north

Like another comment said, in this particular case it even depends which word you use for the machine (une machine a laver, un lave-linge).

More in general, there's a similar thing between France French and Quebec french where they also invert a bunch of them (un job/une job).
