How to Use the Washer and Dryer at Wander Hudson Ridge

Helpful tips for using the washer and dryer!

We’ve all been there – dreading the return home after an incredible vacation, only to face the tedious task of unpacking and washing a mountain of dirty laundry. But what if I told you that you could cut down on packing, wear your favorite outdoor clothes more than once, and return home with nothing but fresh-smelling clothes? Pretty awesome, right?

Having access to laundry appliances can make a huge difference in making your vacation much more enjoyable, and we have provided them for you at the Wander home. Not only does it save you time, but it also helps you stay organized and stress-free while on the go!

Here’s your quick and easy guide to using the washer and dryer waiting for you at Wander Hudson Ridge!

Before we begin 

Once you’re ready to take on your laundry, the laundry room is in the back closet, between the bedrooms. There are laundry pods in a jar on the far left shelf above the washing machine, and dryer sheets are located directly below the jar.

Note: To avoid leaks or clogs, offset both washer and dryer cycles since they run through the same piping.

Let's start washing

1.) Sort your load based on colors and fabric type to ensure excellent wash performance. 

2.) Load light items together to prevent out-of-balance load and put small things in mesh bags to avoid catching them in the impeller at the bottom of the drum. Meanwhile, load and wash bulky items like comforters, bedspreads, and blankets one at a time to avoid getting them tangled and ensure even washing.

3.) Detergents are all available at home, but if you ever want to bring your own, we highly recommend using HE (High Efficiency) ones since they produce fewer suds.

4.) Open the dispenser drawer and load the products into their respective compartments. Ensure to follow the average and maximum fill line on the amount of detergent to use, especially if you’re using concentrated ones.

5.) Push the Power button to turn the washer on. The washer door will remain locked during the wash cycle

6.) Turn the Cyle Selector to select the best cycle that fits your load. To help you decide which one to choose, check out this Cycle Guide.

7.) Hold the PlayStart/Pause/Pause button to start the cycle. Press the same button in the middle of a cycle to change the cycle during operation.

9.) You can monitor your cycle by looking at the Status Lights, including the estimated time for the process to finish.

10.) Once the cycle is complete, you may unlock the door and collect your washed load.

11.) Make sure the door is left open to allow the interior to dry and avoid mold growth.

Now it's time to dry

For better airflow and drying performance, make sure the lint filter is clean. Open the dryer door, pull the lint filter directly up, remove any buildup and you're good to go!

1.) Load the dryer and ensure clothes are pushed entirely into the drum and away from the door seal area. 

2.) Push the Power button to turn the dryer on.

3.) Turn the knob to select the best cycle that fits your load.

4.) Press the Start/Pause button to start the cycle. Press the same button in the middle of a cycle to change the cycle during operation.

5.) You can monitor your cycle by looking at the Cycle Status Indicators, including the estimated time remaining for the cycle to finish.

6.) Once the cycle is all done, the chime will sound, and it’s time to collect your washed items. As much as possible, retrieve your items immediately to lessen wrinkling. 

7.) Similar to the washer, please keep the door open to allow the interior to dry and avoid mold growth.

Got questions?

At times, when you push the buttons on the washer or dryer, there is no response. In most cases, this occurs when the Control Lock feature is activated.

For the washer, activate the Child Lock feature by pressing and holding both the Temp. and Rinse buttons for 3 seconds. Once activated, press and hold the Start/Pause button until the door locks and the Child Lock indicator turns on.

If you need to deactivate the Child Lock temporarily for 1 minute, press and hold both Temperature and Rinse buttons for 3 seconds again. You will notice the Child Lock indicator blinking, indicating that the door is unlocked for 1 minute.

To activate/deactivate Child Lock on the dryer, press and hold Temp. and Time buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.

If this doesn’t do the trick or you run into other problems, please contact our Concierge Team for assistance!
