I, too, have a G.E. microwave oven, and it can also cook like a regular oven.
Unfortunately, it’s probably 18 years old, so don’t know if the company is
still making braille labels. I had the dealer who sold it to my mom and dad
get braille labels ordered. The dealer had done this for several other
customers. I feel pretty sure that Whirlpool does have braille labels for at
least some of its appliances. American Foundation for the Blind’s web site
might have further information about this, and their information would be up to
date.

I have a microwave oven that I bought from General Electric and they did have
braille labels. I had to call the manufacturer and order them. And yes I'm not
sure if they still do or not. I think whirlpool and Sarah still has them. I
know Amanda did it one time. When their microwave came out with Giles and you
could get the labels. So that's basically all I know about that. Yes washers
and dryer's are kind of expensive and I don't like going to laundromats either.
Where I am now they have a laundromat and you have to buy the smart card and
then put money on it. And the smartcard machine is not accessible so
unfortunately you need cited help. But I do know Amanda made the radar range
and you could get labels for it. I think that range is still made but I'm not
sure. Serious I think has grill overlays and I think whirlpool does this well.
Hopefully more manufacturers will do that. I just switch the cure would make
the coffee makers Mark's decimal. I'm very disappointed in them because the
newer coffee makers that they're making a touchscreen even the cure egg coffee
maker that I have now has buttons. The menu is on the screen and I can't set
the clock if I want to I need cited help. But anyway I had somebody set my room
setting so I could brew at 12 ounce mocha coffee. If the settings somehow gets
changed or whatever I have to get a sighted person to help me change it. And I
talk to the nice people and Karagen about that. But not much is changed in
terms of their excess ability. In some ways I'm disappointed so I don't know if
this information is going to help you or not.

I remember hearing that Whirlpool will send a brailled overlay for some of
their products like washers and dryers. So, are they still doing that? I have
purchased a Whirlpool washer with knobs, so that I could do the laundry myself
once either the dials are marked or brailled. Since its the weekend, though, I
didn’t call Whirlpool, although the guy at BestBuy was very nice to provide us
with their customer service number. Also, does any other manufacturers do the
same? I bought an Amana dryer. BestBuy had a big sell to celebrate their 50
years in business. However, they were sure more expensive than when I bought a
washer and dryer back in the 90s. Inflation I guess when cheap is $299 and
$399. Oh well, maybe I should have waited until closer to when we move into a
new house, but I was able to delay the delivery date. I so hate going to the
laundry mat to do our clothes.
