[Missouri-l] Whirlpool does not help disabled

[KCAgape at aol.com]

Dear Phyllis and Others,
 
I took the liberty of contacting the Americans with Disabilities Project  
that serves California because the center here in Missouri is closed.  I  was 
told manufactures of appliances do not have an obligation to put Braille  
labels on any of their products when used by a private individual.  It  would 
be a nice service if they did,  That said.....
 
If a washer and dryer were located in a public area such as a laundromat,  
then they would be required to be marked in Braille. 
 
Not knowing your situation, I would suggest asking someone who is  sighted 
and guide you where to place Braille marks for your washer and  dryer, even 
though Whirlpool did not.
