were the only make who did those front panels.

Regards,

I've got a hotpoint dryer that was fitted with a tactile (including
Braille) front control panel. Best thing to do would be to go and look at 
machines, and then contact the manufacturer to see if they can fit a similar 
panel, if that's what you want. Otherwise you could just purchase a very simple 
machine with a tactile dial avoiding lots of complex touch pad controls.

My machine is a Hotpoint Aquarius TCM580P, but as I bought it 2 years ago it 
may not be available. It is a machine that doesn't require connection to an 
outlet as the steam is condensed into water and stored in a drawer.
