<DIV>Hi, Scott. that is not the problem. The center knob is not
connected to the dial. The knob is so far from the washer markings that
I cannot line it up. I have Braille labels on the washer marks I want to
use. My washer is about 6 years old. Perhaps the new ones are
different. I certainly hope so. The knob you turn and the ring
below it are not connected. The knob and ring that Whirlpool gave me
several years ago is made in one piece and has a "Braille" dot on it to line
it up with the markings on the front of the washer. I will have to work
this out some way. Phyllis</DIV>

<DIV>Dear Phyllis and Others,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I took the liberty of contacting the Americans with Disabilities
Project that serves California because the center here in Missouri is
closed. I was told manufactures of appliances do not have an
obligation to put Braille labels on any of their products when used by
a private individual. It would be a nice service if they did,
That said.....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If a washer and dryer were located in a public area such as a
laundromat, then they would be required to be marked in Braille. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Not knowing your situation, I would suggest asking someone who is
sighted and guide you where to place Braille marks for your washer and
dryer, even though Whirlpool did not.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
