I’d write something better but apparently i must

IMMEDIATELY

remove the wet washing from the machine.

Tell her ( I’m assuming here) You’ll “do it just now in a minute”. Works every time for me !!

Its a washing machine in general i keep it gender neutral.

But whats the point why should i drop everything to go and switch the **** thing off?

Just turn it back on again and say it hasn’t finished yet, good seven or eight hours out of that one.
