A washing machine, as it happens, is not a computer at all. It is a washing machine.
However, modern washing machines typically contain one, possibly even multiple, computers. You can't play games on them or download a Twitter app, these are highly specialized computers. For example, one computer (or computer component) within a washing machine might oversee the overall progress of the chosen program: how long to rinse, how long to tumble, etc. Another component, possibly even using dedicated hardware (= a second specialized computer) might be in charge of load balancing, the step performed by modern machines prior to spinning so that the load (the wet washing) is evenly distributed around the drum, thus minimizing mechanical stress during the spinning, and this extending the machine's life. Another component (possibly even a dedicated computer) might control the user interface (buttons, LEDs, display), while others might be working "Behind the Scenes" in energy management applications, negotiating electrical energy demand with other devices within the same household.
