[Electronics-Talk] Seeking Accessible Dishwasher Recommendation

[wayne]

In november of 2024 our washing machine stopped working after 30 years of 
use. This is not anadvertisement, but we iperate a recording studio in the 
sam building. The new washing machine is so quite wecould record fine, and 
it's only one room away from our track cutting room. I know you didn't ask 
but we have 2 refridgerators that aree quiet. Now for a little information. 
This washing mach is a wirlpoool model, it's 100 percent accessible. A smart 
phone app to operate the washer. Howeverk, it's very flexible. You have 5 
knots for controls, there's a very defined pointer on each knob. There 
inditations where the knob for the setting. The only other control is to 
start the machine. So alll you needwrite a chart so you know what each 
contal. One more thing it's a top loader, it has a agitator that can be 
removed and put back any time you wantoo. This desing if you use the agitor 
or not will not and can
't teer up your laundry, due to the design. We don't  have the exact model 
number but we'll get and send it.
