It was outdoors when property was built. I would guess that they created the mud room approximately 25-30 years ago. It has the old vertical siding and I think they put horizontal siding on the whole house when they put a small addition on in 1998.

The yellow probably goes to a bond bushing on a rigid 90 entering the bottom of the meter pedestal/wireway
What is this a photo of in post 21? You removed the nut from the stud to check the lug?

The PoCo's have dual size butt splices. They need them for the transition from overhead conductors to building conductors. I think the most common around here is 1/0 to 4/0. Here is one product:
Morris Products 90686 Insulated Service Entrance Compression Splices 2-25/32" UOG 48 #4 Str #2 Sol to #8 Str #6 Sol

Update:
POCO actually came out and tested the line side of the meter with their tester. Looked like a load bank in a suite case. Ran approx 100amps through the lines and said everything tested fine there. Implied it only tests the wires to the transformer. He was going to put an order in to put a power quality recording device on for a week.
I ran the washing machine through my Ego battery bank- Lights were fine. This certainly implies that the issue is within the wiring system of the house and not any type of RF or whatever emitted externally from the washing machine. Next test is to run an extension cord to another outlet in the house to see if that helps.

I did get a photo of these in the field the other day. I'll try to remember to post the photo.The PoCo's have dual size butt splices. They need them for the transition from overhead conductors to building conductors. I think the most common around here is 1/0 to 4/0. Here is one product:

Put one of the LEDs with the washing machine on the EGO. The interference could be conducted on the wiring.
