unless your washing machine is waterproof its ok.
If not not ok because risk of electric accident.

put in exhaust fan to reduce the humidity

Ideally, it should be in a separate area away from the WC but if can't you'll need to actively ventilate with an extractor fan venting into the outside and NOT the ceiling space. If you use a front loader some tiny kitchens in the UK accommodate a washing machine next to the sink. They employ a washing machine / dishwasher drain waste vent to allow the waste water to drain out. But this one needs proper planning in the kitchen. Ikea sinks and majority of European ones like Teka, Blanco include dishwasher and washing machine waste vent accessories in the plumbing kit. Also the FL washer needs to be able to remove their top cover otherwise the work top needs to be 86cm free space height underneath to accommodate FL that does have a detachable top cover.

I have mine in a toilet as well, but there is no shower activity going on. Just the toilet used sometimes. Door is also open always. Will humidity be a problem in this case?

Humidity isn't good in general for a house. But strangely it's hard to find anyone selling dehumidifier systems here.

It can encourage growth of mold in your machine. As for what previous poster stated about PCB damage, not very sure on that.

if no showering, i don't think it's an issue

Totally no

a friend had his washing machine installed in the bathroom, and the machine spoilt. when repairman came, he took out the pcb and showed my friend. it had rust on it. the repair guy advise was not to install it in the bath room

i think i saw it before at Harvey Norman but was quite expensive. i bought a Samsung dehumidifier through lazada early this year. Cost me about Rm750. It was shipped from Korea. Kena more than Rm100 tax by customs but luckily can claim back from Lazada. very effective in absorbing moisture. in 12 hours it can collect more than 4 liters of water depending on setting. good for drying clothes indoor

how you claim back from lazada?

scan the customs invoice, DHL receipt and email to Lazada. good thing about Lazada is the quick response compared to 11street and gemfive

nice.. now i don't need to worry purchasing stuff from overseas and need pay tax..

I assume the bathroom is for daily showers etc with poor ventilation?

just have to read terms and conditions carefully especially 11 street and gemfive because most of their overseas purchase doesn't include any other taxes incurred so u'll have to pay if kena.

yes daily shower. ventilation poor or not, don't know.

didn't know humidity will lead to washer issue, so not only placing in bathroom has problem, some other area which is damp/humid also will have same problem..

anyway, i have dehumidifier.. see my sign
