She has to serve you in writing... however... if it's that bad... why don't you just leave and go someplace else.
3 day is usually a pay or quit, not eviction... eviction is 30 day notice most places... 2 weeks in FL and up to 60 days in California. But any of them need to be in writing.
If they had to fix or repair those appliances depends on the original lease.. and where you live.
In Europe... you rent a place and appliances and cabinets are YOUR problem... in the USA and Canada, they typically HAVE kitchen appliances and cabinets... the washer and drier are not always included... and sometimes like if they were left behind by a previous tenant... the lease might state they aren't responsible to repair them but you are free to use them.
But that would be written into the lease if that was the case.
Yes, what is the notice for ?
An eviction can only be issued by a court. The first step in the eviction process is to give a vacate notice. That notice has to be in writing and has to conform to local laws. ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area.
A 3 day notice is usually a "pay or quit". This means you have breached the lease in some way and need to repair the breach or vacate by the time limit. If you do not vacate, then the landlord goes to court.. However, as noted, it has to be in writing.
If you have issues with the landlord not doing what they are supposed to, therre are usually provisions in local law to force that.

You didn't say this, but you do know that you can't withhold/deduct rent because you fixed or replaced something, unless the landlord approves it? Even if your lease included a working washer.
