Jenny, how would you rate Voiceover accessibility of the Home Connect app? We currently have a GE Café series counter-depth 33" fridge as well as induction range with double oven. I love the range and the fridge is nice enough, but a few weeks ago it suddenly started to be very cold in the fridge section to the point where especially further towards the back it was freezing stuff. We bought the range in 2019 and since I liked it so much, I looked at the same series when we wanted to replace my by then 25-year old fridge in 2021. I brought in an appliance repair guy and after checking it out, he suggested that most likely it had a leak and was loosing the refrigerant gas. As it's bearly 5 years old and a relatively expensive fridge, I was of course not impressed and after doing a bit of research, I would probably only go with a Bosch, there are a few other European brands which are also excellent, but I am not going to spend $8,000, 4$10,000 or in some cases even more for a fridge; I live nice stuff and don't mind paying for quality, but there are of course limits. Anyways, when the appliance guy was here I told him to maybe set the temperature a bit higher so he changed it from 38°F to 40°F and while that is almost a bit warm for a fridge, so far it has fixed the issue. I actually want to reduce it again by a degree or two and see if it acts up again or if it was just a weird glitch. Anyways, we probably will do a complete kitchen renovation next year in the fall or in the spring of 2028 and while I really like that GE Range, I will most likely go to an induction cooktop and separate wall oven. I think the Bosch Benchmark series has a cooktop which does not offer entirely free placement of pots and pans, but instead of being very specific like my GE, it has "zones and you can put your pot or pan anywhere as long as it's in that zone. There is another German brand called Gaggenau which offers complete freedom, the entire surface senses where you place things and you can even move a pot or pan and it will keep track of it and continue to heat it. It also has physical precision knobs whereas the Bosch cooktop has touch controls; especially for making small adjustments during cooking, a physical know is definitely the nicer option for a blind person. My Ge range has physical knobs for the cooktop and a touch panel for the oven, but it's pretty nicely accessible via the Smart HQ app.

It should be there somewhere. If not there then on the side of the door or the back panel. Also, when you open the Home Connect app If someone has helped you get the dishwasher paired on the home connectapp. Open the app. Somewhere in there it will have the information about the dishwasher as well. I have the Bosch 800 series dishwasher And then for the fridge the Bosch 100 series Thanks for reading regarding this matter.
