A natural translation would be:
The dishwasher is still running, so I can’t put the cups in the dishwasher right now.
A few small nuances:
- המדיח עוד עובד = the dishwasher is still working/running
- ולכן = and therefore / so
- אני לא יכולה = I can’t (said by a female speaker)
- לשים את הכוסות במדיח עכשיו = put the cups in the dishwasher now/right now

So:
- המדיח עוד עובד = The dishwasher is still running
This is a very common everyday use of עוד in spoken Hebrew.
