Would anyone have any idea of how to make this thing work?

I honestly wouldn't even know where to start looking, but I'll try.

[toobigtohandle]

I don't think it's a voice activated machine. The coffee machine is, but not this one.

[toobigtohandle]

I'm having trouble finding whether we have detergent in the house or not.

I'm not feeling bad? Why would I?

[He can't use a washing machine and he's not even embarrassed a tiny little bit by it. Zero shame.]

[toobigtohandle]

It's not broken. I just don't know how to use it.

[toobigtohandle]

[wat.]

I have a few people coming to look at it and help.

[toobigtohandle]

[See, that's actually useful, Jamie. Thank you.]

I didn't even think to try that.
... How do I find the model number?

[toobigtohandle]

I don't remember ever doing anything like that.

[Did he get out of doing laundry because he was more of a hindrance than anything else. Who knows. He doesn't remember.]

And I can't just scrub close without soap, right?

[surprising]

[ he's salty............ ]

then i'll just teach you :/
all you need is running water, a big backyard, and some poles and strings to hang the wet clothes from
as for soap, you could just scrub them with the detergent you normally buy for laundry machines

[dornen_kiste]

You put your clothes in, then some detergent, select the load size, and then press the start button.

I personally do my shirts and such in one load, and then my pants in one, and my underwear in another with some bleach.

All the buttons should be labeled!

Check the top and sides, or inside the door. If you can't find anything that looks like a model number, you could just try looking through images of appliances by the same manufacturer and see which one it looks like!

Okay, never mind the latter thing...
Any box or bottle with the word "detergent" on it would be a start. There can't be too many places for it to hide, right?

[dandyofawolf]

Has anyone volunteered yet to come over and show you how to use the machine?

[toobigtohandle]

The apartment is quite big and I'm not sure where the household staff usually put things, so... it could take a while.

[toobigtohandle]

[Hello Google image please help him.]

I really don't get why this thing needs so many buttons.

[toobigtohandle]

I live in an apartment building. I don't have a backyard.

And I'm still looking for the detergent.

[toobigtohandle]

I can't find the detergent. And what is 'load size'? How do you select it? This thing has dozens of buttons.

[toobigtohandle]

A few people, but I have the feeling it's going to take me a while.

[meowchanics]

Nothing near the washing machine itself? That's the place that would make the most sense...

[thisloveisjustice]

Then we'll go with basic, but extremely user friendly.

Tide pods. No measuring involved.

[missingache]

Looking in the kitchen or laundry room might be the best.

[amodelidol]

Yeah I learned how to use it this year. The easiest detergent to use is the ones that look like little pods. You can just pop that in without trying to measure it, but there are a couple of videos that shows you how to use it too.

Want me to link them?

I'll be by after work. In the mean time, try to sort your clothes into piles.

ACTION

[blondferret]

[Derek arrives back at the apartment building around 5:30pm. He drops his bag off at his apartment, grabs his own detergent and dryer sheets and walks over Kenta and Jirou's place. He knocks on the door and waits. Hopefully Kenta was successful in sorting his clothes.]

[dandyofawolf]

If you still find it confusing then I can come over and walk you through it. It isn't too difficult but I understand how it can appear daunting when you aren't used it. That was certainly how I felt when I began living on my own.

Oh, I didn't realize Google was down.
