RE: [BlindHandyMan] washing machines cycles
Hi Brice, Kenmore is made by World Pool. Both are very good machines. We have had both. We purchase a World Pool about four years ago. We meaning my sighted wife and I looked at a lot of wash machines. We learned that almost all the machines on the market now take longer in their cycles to wash the clothes. This is part of the water savings steps use: less water, longer cycles. Its true with almost all of them. Its something we learned that we just have to get use to. A side not, My wife liked the Maytag but it was a visual screen to select the cycle. I couldn't use it. The Kenmore front load we found had both a visual screen and preselect buttons. My wife likes to adjust the cycles depending on the load of clothes she is doing. The buttons with the preselct cycles I could use. The buttons are in a flower paddern with the center of the flower being the start button. There are eight buttons around the center start button. Press the cycle you want and then the center button to start. It was very very easy to use--not that she lets me do any wash. Its more of the thing of future safty. I pointed out to her if she sprained an ankel and be laid up for a week, I'd have to be able to run the washer. She agreed. Dave A.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] washing machines cycles
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.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] washing machines cycles
Hi, Congradulations on the many years of marriage. Debb and I will be celebrating 30 years in May. I must say I have enjoyed conversations on the list. In fact because of this list, she went out and bought a talking meter mentioned here. Up til now she has had to read the meter and she doesn't like that: She says she has seen fire jump out of hot sockets. Well I asked her to run the volt meter to see if it were hot. That time the sound and smell told us both it was hot. She has forgiven me, I think, but she will not forget it. So a talking meter is coming my way. I'm sure we all have our fun stories. One more, I use to tune up my car, back when they were not computerized. I'd change the plug and then have her hold the timing light, watching the strobe. She would tell me when things were alined and I would tighten down the distributer. Dave A. Working together, sharing the light of salvation seen through the cross of Jesus Rev.

Just hearing of you tuning up your car got my ribs a hurting. We use to have a 73 blazer that I tuned up a couple of times. About 90 percent of the time your feet were in mid air with all your weight balanced on you ribs. I'd gets the plugs in, the points in, then call my neighbor over to help me set the gap on the points. Glad those days are over. Now we just take the car in. what, maybe 70 thousand miles or so? My wife was always getting mad at me for doing things she think I couldn't do. Now, she just leaves me alone and comes to my aid if I need her sight for something.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] washing machines cycles
Aloha Brice, I have a Whirlpool conbo washr/dryer unit. There is a setting for heavy-duty wash which does something similar. I suggest that you try to find out how to set it for a permapress load if you're not sure what it is set on. Perhaps if you could find out the model of the washer, you could download a manual or you could contact Whirlpool tech support at: whirlpool_customerexperie...@whirlpool.com BTW, when I recently contacted them to get a braille overlay for my new dishwasher, they told me they no longer provide that service.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] washing machines cycles
Thank You Betsy, I believe you are correct. The web site stated the newer models had double to triple cycles. Don't think they're energy efficient though. They use allot of water. Oh well, when my wife gets back IN Town I'll have her get the users manual out and give me the model number so I can read the owners manual. She can read it to me, but I can comprehend it better if I read it myself. - Original Message - From: Betsy Whitney, Dolphin Press braill...@hawaii.rr.com To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 28, 2010 9:16 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] washing machines cycles Aloha Brice, I have a Whirlpool conbo washr/dryer unit.

There is a setting for heavy-duty wash which does something similar. I suggest that you try to find out how to set it for a permapress load if you're not sure what it is set on. Perhaps if you could find out the model of the washer, you could download a manual or you could contact Whirlpool tech support at: mailto:whirlpool_customerexperience%40whirlpool.comwhirlpool_customerexperie...@whirlpool.com BTW, when I recently contacted them to get a braille overlay for my new dishwasher, they told me they no longer provide that service.

The whole cycle starts over again. Is there a setting that allows this second cycleto be shut off? I'm wasting both water and power with this unnecessary secon cycle. __ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4979 (20100328) __ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.comhttp://www.eset.comhttp://www.eset.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] __ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4979 (20100328) __ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.comhttp://www.eset.com __ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4980 (20100328) __ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.comhttp://www.eset.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [BlindHandyMan] washing machines cycles
I've seen whirlpools do that on perma press as none of the cycles are particularly rough. I think some, maybe whirlpool do that for the max loads too. Is there a manual on that model number on line?
