[Electronics-Talk] totally accessible electric stove

Tue Nov 21 23:08:23 UTC 2017

Hi Arlene,

Here is the model numbers of my amana gas dryer and amana electic stove.
Amana dryer and electric stove totally accessible 2017

Amana dryer model no: NGD4700YQ3 

Electric stove model no:  ACR2303MFW0 THE LAST CHARACTER COULD BE A ZERO OR LETTER O.

TOLL FREE NUMBER FOR AMANA parts:  800-298-7130

Amana support: Phone: 866-616-2664 

I have had great luck with amana chest freezers, last decades with no issues.
I did have issue with one of their refrigerators, but over all they are accessible and little thrills.

I talked to a whirlpool regional rep a few weeks ago and their line of appliances are coming out in 2018 with internet access with amazon Elexa, But like he said if your internet goes down you wil have control issues.

Plus the cost is very high for their high end line of appliances that will have this feature.

Just give me basic no thrill appliances with knobs and buttons.

Regards,
Roger

That would be really helpful, having the model number, as we would like to 
get this stove, if we could find it. Thank you.
