We don't really know why yet.

Commercial laundry machines do come in various sizes, like 20Kg machine, 14 Kg or 10kg machines. How certain are you that these are not commercial grade washing machines? Space on a warship is very limited, smaller size machines as pictured fit the available space in that room on type 052D.
Considering the number of crew of the ship, these machines could be running near non-stop which would necessitate industrial-grade equipment. A reduction in laundry capacity from broken down machines can result in smelly crewmembers.
On a brief search, I can find...
Laundry machines of a Burke class destroyer
Laundry machines of a Independence class LCS
.... I think the laundry machines on the 052D is fine, and they look like they have enough for redundancy lol.
And the PLAN do have more industrial laundry machines, like on Liaoning here, but they've chosen to use the specific models as seen on 052D.
