Washer and Dryer Hookups
For your convenience, there are washer/dryer hook-ups in every home. The dryer outlet available is for an electric dryer. Please make sure that your washer and dryer are hooked up properly before you use them. If your dryer does not have a four prong dryer cord, a conversion kit is available at most appliance stores.
If you need assistance, please feel free to contact the Nantucket Membership office.
Contact Me
Washer and dryer rentals are available for your convenience. Please contact the Nantucket membership office for further information. Nantucket offers on-site laundry facilities as well.
Refrigerator
To keep the interior of your refrigerator smelling fresh, clean with a baking soda and water solution. The exterior can be easily cleaned with a simple window cleaner.
Dishwasher
Food particles left on dirty dishes may jam the dishwasher. Make certain dishes are scraped and rinsed under running water prior to placing the dishes in the racks. Please do not overload your dishwasher and be sure to use detergents made for automatic dishwashers.
Icemaker
To turn the icemaker on, make sure the metal bar is pushed down. To turn the icemaker off, release the metal bar to the upward position.
Disposal
Always turn on the cold water before starting your disposal and feed waste in slowly. To keep your disposal in good working order, do not put metal, glass, plastic, grease, paper, cigarettes, bones, banana peels, oyster or clam shells, celery, corn husks, etc. in your disposal. A good rule of thumb is if you can't chew it, neither can your disposal. If it does not restart, please contact the office and the maintenance team will make the appropriate repairs.
Water Supply
If there are any pipes or faucets leaking, or toilet tanks continuously running, please report it to the membership office.
If the temperature is below 25 degrees, please do the following to prevent your pipes from freezing: turn on the faucet to allow a slow continuous drip, leave vanity and kitchen sink cabinets open and keep the apartment thermostat set at no less than 65 degrees.
Commodes
The sewer system is adequate to handle all normal drainage, however, flushing the following items will result in damage: paper towels, facial tissue, disposable diapers, sanitary napkins (disposable Tampax are not disposable in the commode and much sewer damge is caused by them). Should the commode overflow, turn off the water supply to the tank by turning the handle located under the tank, and contact the membership office.
