We have been in Korea one whole week now. A friend of a friend has generously let us stay in his uninhabited apartment so that we can keep Chicane with us instead of kennel her. Anyhow, the time came to do some well overdue laundry. This apartment only has a washer and we don't have any way to hang clothes out to dry. To make a long story short I just learned from another friend that this is actually a washer/dryer combo. Yeah...don't ask...
Anyway, it's all in Hangul as you can see so you can imagine the challenge that lay ahead. I pulled a chair up and sat right in front of this machine and studied it until I thought I could make sense of it. After a couple of trial and error loads I finally got it to work. It doesn't dry very well as there is no vent so the clothes end up damp and wrinkled (probably why this hasn't caught on in the States). But we now have clean clothing to wear....wrinkled though it is.
Watch for these blogs to appear soon:

interesting. But I have heard about these. Yes, I can see how the drying cycle does nada. Glad you solved that puzzle. NEXT!
Sissy......I love the stories! I also love the ride. Maybe when you get back in the country that can be my present...so long as its the right one....lol. Hugs and kisses. Don't forget the translation book I got you. Now that I know they use lots of pics I will keep my eyes for a book to translate them. I LOVE YOU LOTS!!!!!!!!
Believe it or not, we do actually have washer/dryer combinations in the states. Most of them are in RV's. I've never had one, but we know people who do and say they work well. I can't imagine not having a vent though. I am impressed that you got it to work at all with it being in Hangul.
I nearly bought the combo for my condo. But luckily, there was an offer for a very good brand that comes complete with installing the washer and dryer on top of each other (washer bottom of course).
Sherry - I'm using my old blogspot so that I know when new comments come in.
They do have these in the states. My dad has then in his rentals. I think he had the same complaint about drying? Nice space saver though.
