The (adjective) (noun) Enigma vs The (adjective) (noun)’s Enigma

This is the title of a short story I’m writing:

The Washing Machine Enigma

But I was wondering if I should call it

The Washing Machine’s Enigma

Do both mean the same? Which one follows more proper English?

Answer

The Washing Machine Enigma is an enigma which somehow involves a washing machine.

The Washing Machine’s Enigma would be an enigma which confronts or baffles a particular washing machine. That strikes me as unlikely — unless of course the Washing Machine is a technical consortium which carries out money laundering for organized crime and terrorism.
