[Electronics-talk] Whirlpool Duet Washer & Dryer

[Annette Carr]

I have already contacted Whirlpool.  Yes, they have braille overlays, but
they are not made of a clear material so that sighted family members can
read the print for each button.  So I will be putting my own braille on the
machines made with my labeler and clear label tape.  Although it is clear,
it still can distort the print, so we will look for the best position to put
each braille label.  

As far as an accessible manual, I have been able to read the PDF I
downloaded.  However, it does not include a description/list  of all of the
available settings for each cycle.  Whirlpool said that all they have is the
manual.  

My only reason for writing to this list was in case someone already compiled
this information and were willing to share it, that would have stopped me
from re-inventing the wheel.

To order Special Needs accessories or literature for Whirlpool brand
products, please call 866-698-2538. Braille Overlays are available for
washers, dryers, microwaves and ranges.

Braille use and care manuals are available for most models of washers,
dryers, dishwashers, microwaves, ranges and refrigerators. Braille knobs are
available for washers and dryers. Large print use and care manuals are
available for most models. Enlarged copies of control panel overlays are
available for most models for visually impaired consumers who do not read
Braille.

Most Braille requests take 8-10 weeks. Braille knobs take 7-10 days.
