this is AWESOME... thank you!!

I've been here almost 9 months and still haven't had a straight answer on the washing machine...til now! Thanks so much!!! :D

Great, thanks so much. I have been here 10 months and I still randomly press buttons until the water starts pouring in!  :o

AAAAAAAAAH! This is heaven sent lol I have been battling my washing machine for the last couple of loads... 

Awesome, we spent hours trying to work out what everything was and still couldn't find definitions for everything. Thanks!

I posted this on a few groups on FB so many of the EPIK teachers have seen it but:

 ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

I just received a new washing machine.  Clearly, have no clue how to use it.  I have very basic washing needs, just want it to fill it up with either lukewarm or lukecold (not a word haha?) water and have it wash.  I assume step 1 is to just my clothes in the washing machine and then like most normal washing machines the water will fill it up and ill toss some detergent in?

Posted pictures, please tell me which buttons to hit and what order?  Thanks sooo much.  Otherwise, going to be another smelly foreigner walking around soon!

Power button?


Main control panel


Another picture of main control panel

The far left button is for setting it to run at a later time. The one next to it is for the time setting. The next button is for the water supply. The button to the left of the center button is for the amount of water. The Center button is the start button. This will also be an auto feature too. You may have to press it twice but it should automatically start on some models. To the right of the center button is for selecting the settings or preset function for blankets and what not.

The three buttons on the right are for the washing cycles. The far right is spin cycle, the middle is rinse, and the left one is wash.

I found these translations somewhere, so just re-posting here, maybe they help:

This is brilliant. Thank you very much!

Thank you!!! this has helped a lot.

OH This is wonderful!!! thank you so very much.  :)

ah....I wish I had seen this before ruining some of my clothes this weekend!!

Thanks for the translation!!

Ok...so before more of my clothes ruin in the machine, can someone please tell me what these buttons mean?

Thanks so much!  :)

This is ideal thank you! I've been terrified of doing any kind of wash other than throwing my clothes in the thing and pressing go. Especially since when I tried to be bold and customise my water temperature from 'cold' to 'hot', it growled at me and refused to co-operate. I don't suppose any of you know why this might be?

Go to eatyourkimchi.com ... this couple makes vlogs of Life in Korea, pretty funny too.

Also, try going to Daiso or some kind of stores and get a laundry mesh bag. The bag will protect your clothes a bit. The washing machines are pretty rough on my clothes ... and with no dryers they come out like cardboards anyway.

Sweet!

Thanks so much! :D

This is a life saver. Thank you!
