[Electronics-talk] Whirlpool Duet Washer & Dryer

Sun Oct 3 16:17:13 UTC 2010

Over the years I've only obtained just a few overlays.  None of them came
with instructions, and all of them covered up the print info on the machine.
That is why I always now ask what the overlay is made out of and if it has a
color.

does it the over lay come with instructions?  if so do the instructions come

>>> Hello All,

>>> Before I find someone to help me document all of the available
