[Electronics-Talk] Accessible Stove

Tue Jan 19 19:08:57 UTC 2016

Hi, Dave,

I bought a nej stove and microwave in 2005 when Maytag was still 
independent.  They sent braille overlays, and I had to get 
sighted help to apply them, which took less time than if I had 
had to also make the labels myself.  I can't use every control on 
either one, bI have access to most of what I need.  The stove is 
a smoothtop.  Whirlpool owns a lot of other brands including 
Kitchen Aid, Fridgidaire (spelling?), Maytag, and Amana.  I don't 
have all those phone numbgs, but that might be enough to get you 
started on your search.

Cordially,

Evelyn

No, did/do they offer something?  Only uncovered GE so far.

Hi, Dave,

Have you checked Whirlpool and all the brands they own now?

Yes, GE seems to be the only one, and their stuff is a little 
more expensive than some of what I looked at.

Dave,
At times General Electric has made overlays but at one point,
they were only doing so for electric stove/ovens.  I actually
think it would be possible to do a template with braille on it if
one had access to a DIY tech location.
It seems like one could take a picture of the touchpad on an
iPhone and develop a template.  I am considering doing that.  We
actually created labels on ours with sticky sheets more than dimo
tape.  It has been our experience though that these need to be
redone quite often.  Lots of stuff from cooking ends up on those
labels so they do not stay as well as many others do.

Here is a real novelty -- an accessible appliance question.  I am
in the market for a new stove.  Does anyone have knowledge as to
who might have Braille overlays for the oven controls.  In the
less expensive stoves, there are knobs for burners, but oven
controls tend to be a flat panel.
