Similar to other appliances such as TVs and refrigerators, a washing machine should not be placed anywhere you desire...
1. The strategic placement of the washing machine can attract wealth like water.
Just like other devices such as TVs, refrigerators, etc., you can't place the washing machine anywhere you want.
1. The most Feng Shui-friendly location for your washing machine
East or Southeast direction: If the couple belongs to the Wood element, placing the washing machine in this direction is the best. Bathrooms related to Water, Water generating Wood, and Wood generating Fire contribute to a warm and happy family.
Place it facing South: The Southern direction belongs to the Fire element, and a bathroom associated with Fire has a nourishing effect, promoting harmony in the family.
In summary, the strategically placed washing machine according to Feng Shui should be dry, airy, and should not create conflicts with prosperous areas in the house. It should not disturb the tranquility of the bedroom or reading room.

2. Unfavorable Feng Shui Locations for Washing Machines
Avoid placing the washing machine in the Five Yellow Star position
The Five Yellow Star is a star associated with calamities, illnesses, accidents, posing significant harm to your family's wealth. Depending on the orientation and layout of the rooms, determine the correct position of the Five Yellow Star in your home each year. For this matter, you can seek advice from architects or construction experts knowledgeable in Feng Shui.
The Feng Shui-appropriate placement of the washing machine must avoid the Five Yellow Star as it operates through electrical energy with currents running through. Additionally, the washing machine generates a magnetic field, static electricity, and sound, all of which affect Feng Shui.
Placing the washing machine in a negative position like the location of the Five Yellow Star will stimulate negativity, creating harmful energy.

Avoid placing the washing machine in the bathroom/toilet
Bathrooms and toilets are typically damp areas that can distort the operation and reduce the lifespan of the washing machine. Most washing machine manufacturers advise against this. However, some believe that if the environment is kept clean, dry, and the washing machine is not affected by water factors, it can still be placed here.
From a Feng Shui perspective, the Water element in the bathroom/toilet can cause conflict with the Fire element of the washing machine during operation. Especially in bathrooms/toilets with bad energy fields, the washing machine's movement will disperse negative energy to surrounding rooms.
Note: In cases where the washing machine is already placed here and is difficult to move, it is advisable to keep the bathroom door closed, even when the washing machine is not in use, to contain any negative effects.
Avoid placing the washing machine on the right wall of the house
The family's four directions are Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Dark Warrior. A peaceful and happy family means a balance and restraint among these directions. The right wall of the house represents the White Tiger, associated with harm, while the left wall is the Azure Dragon, associated with benefits.
Placing the washing machine against the right wall means strengthening the White Tiger. A strong White Tiger and a weak Azure Dragon result in the 'White Tiger suppressing Azure Dragon' scenario, negatively impacting the entire family.

Avoid placing the washing machine on the balcony
This is considered a taboo. Balconies are unsuitable for placing miscellaneous items and furniture. Placing the washing machine on the balcony blocks the light inside the house, disrupting air circulation and light, thus being detrimental to health.
However, if there are no other options, the homeowner should consider placing the washing machine in the southeast or directly east corner of the balcony to minimize potential conflicts.
Avoid placing the washing machine in the kitchen, especially the cooking area
The reason for this restriction is that the Water element in the washing machine conflicts with the Fire element in the kitchen. Moreover, the kitchen represents wealth, and if the kitchen is incorrectly placed or affected by unfavorable factors, it can impact fortune and health for women.
On the other hand, the kitchen is the dwelling place of the Kitchen God. Placing the washing machine in the kitchen, where dirty clothes invade the Kitchen God's domain, can affect the family's overall luck.
Additionally, the grease and salt in the kitchen can expedite the deterioration of the washing machine.
However, since the kitchen is an area with abundant Fire energy, balancing it with the Water element can be done, allowing you to place the washing machine here. Choose a location away from the cooking area, and always keep the washing machine clean and tidy.
Therefore, if there are no other options and you wish to place the washing machine in the kitchen according to Feng Shui, choose a spot far from the cooking area and maintain cleanliness around the washing machine.
