Dave, Yes, I knew Kenmore was made by Worlpool. Both vary good products. My wife and I have been together for 34 years and married most of that time/. We were still on our second washer and dryer when we bought this mobile home. Since there was a set that went with the mobile home we gave our old set away to a needy family. This set we have now we have know idea how old it is, but my wife said that they were in very new like condition. It seems to be fully accessible, there is about 6 to 8 mode buttons, and the round dial that one turns to the start position and pushes it in to start it.----- Original Message ----- One more thing, the old woman who live here last was Blind too! The wwasher, dryer thermostat and Micro wave all had Velcro applied as markers. I took the velcro off the micro wave and used dymo tape, and brought my talking thermostat from my last home.
