German version: Waschmaschinen

News

ATTENTION, ATTENTION!!
The new payment system for the washing machines is now installed. From now on, you can pay the machines with your mensa card (KIT-Card, Fricard etc.) directly in the washing room. Simply hold your card at the payment panel next to the door, on the main control panel, choose the machine you want to use, and press start. You then have 6 minutes to fill the washing machine and start the program. You can also find instructions with pictures below.

If, for some reason, you don't have a mensa card, you can get a guest card.

FAQ

• Where is the washing machine room?

You can find it in the basement of K5. When going down the stairs, you have to turn right into the corridor through the big black door and then turn left to the side of the elevator. When going through the white door at the end of the hallway, the door to the washing machine room is on the left side.

• How can I even wash?

You can activate the machines at the main control panel next to the door, or you need a washing coin that you must put into on of the old counters, and of course washing agent and laundry. You can also find a detailed Tutorial above this FAQ.

• I threw in a coin and pushed the green Button, but nothing happens.

The counters are quite old and tend to do strange things. Make sure that you completely pulled out the slot again and that the door is closed. If you reopen the door after having thrown in a coin, the coin is gone. If the counter has "stolen" your coin, you may visit us and get replacement.

• The washing machine doesn't open.

If the yellow button doesn't work, there is an emergency- lever under the cover of the filter.

• There is still water in the machine.

If the program has finished, but the water hasn't been pumped off, there is the possibility to choose the program "Extra-Abpumpen" (letter H) and "Extra-Schleudern" (letter G). These programs need no Extra-coin.

• Do I have to bring my own washing agent?

Yes. But we also sell stuff during our normal selling times.

• How long does one washing process take?

About 1 hour maximum.

• I am moving out and still have coins left.

You can change them back anytime. Please don't keep coins or throw them away, when you move out. Our supply will shrink more and more.
