Washing Machines are hostile entities which resemble Washing Machines of the Frontrooms. If disturbed, Washing Machines will spring into motion, pulled along by wires and cables that pierce into walls and heave the entity towards any living beings in their vicinity. The hatches of the Washing Machine will swing open, revealing a cognito-hazardous swirling chaos that deals severe damage to the mind of anyone who observes it for any amount of time.

Description

As has been previously stated, what lies within the "gaping maw" of the Washing Machines can hardly to described, though a few who remained sane enough after witnessing it have tried. According to wanderers who have seen within the washing machine, the inside is like a water distorted vision, some amalgamation of distorted matter and wave like ripples that echo on like an endless tunnel which leads to another horrifying location deep within the Backrooms.

Wanderers who observe the insides of a Washing Machine will often begin to wander closer to the machine and allow themselves to be "sucked into" the distorted matter within. From the perspective of someone else viewing this event, the wanderer will silently enter the maw and be visually scattered and disappear into the amorphous slurry swirling within the machine as the hatch snaps shut. After a moment, the Washing Machine will become absent of the residue within as though it is has been flushed away, and on the other side of the glass, there will be the wanderer who was sucked in, apparently transported to another location within the Backrooms.

Those who have actually survived being flushed by a Washing Machine will describe the experience as beginning with a feeling of heavy pressure, nausea and fatigue that instantly set in the moment they observed the swirling chaos inside the Washing Machines. Despite feeling an impending sense of dread, looking away from the swirling chaos will be incredibly difficult if not impossible. However, instead of walking themselves into the gaping maw, those who have been sucked in report it as appearing as though the other room inside the Washing Machine began to "reach out" towards them and envelope them until suddenly they felt a strong, ejecting force that yanks them through and spits them out into the location they observed.

Behind them will be a closed washing machine door that they can use to see into the room they were previously in, however the door will now be unable to be opened from either side. The wanderer in the origin room and wanderer in the other room can’t hear themselves and will appear distorted and small, a signal coming from other room to origin room will be lost.

Individuals who have observed the insides of a Washing Machine will temporarily be unable to view the facial features of any individuals or be able to decipher what they are saying when they speak, and will remain in a state of mild to severe dizziness for a period between 1 and 3 hours after the event They will also be unable to perceive doors or text of any fashion, viewing all of these as nauseating swirls and distortions until the effect dissipates. This can make assisting a traveler difficult even if they are somehow pulled away from a Washing Machine before being devoured.
