Gyakori hiba:
Learners sometimes think "washer" always means "a person who washes". In modern everyday English, especially in American English, "washer" on its own very often means a clothes washing machine. Learners may also confuse "washer" with "dishwasher"; note that a dishwasher is a different machine for washing dishes, not clothes.

Gyakori hiba:
Learners sometimes try to say "*clothes washer" to mean a person doing laundry; in modern English this usually refers to a machine. For a person, it is more natural to say "someone who does the laundry" or "laundry worker". Also, many specific jobs use different words, like "dishwasher" (person) in a restaurant or "cleaner".
