machine for washing clothes
A machine in the home that you use to wash clothes with water and soap.
استعمال کا انداز:
put [clothes] in the washer
عام غلطی:
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.

flat ring used with bolts
A small, flat ring made of metal or rubber that you put under a screw, bolt, or tap part to hold it tight or stop water leaking.
استعمال کا انداز:
put a washer on [a bolt/screw]
عام غلطی:
Learners may confuse this meaning with the machine that washes clothes. In technical or DIY contexts, especially with words like "bolt", "nut", or "tap", "washer" almost always means the small flat ring, not a washing machine.
ہم معنی الفاظ
gasket (Similar part used to seal joints, especially in engines or pipes; often thicker or shaped to fit larger surfaces than a simple washer.)

person whose job is washing
A person who is paid to wash things, for example windows or cars.
استعمال کا انداز:
[type of thing] washer
عام غلطی:
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".
ہم معنی الفاظ
cleaner (A broader and more common term for someone who cleans; it does not specifically focus on washing with water.)
