LG Electronics Unveils Accessible Laundry Appliance Hardware

LG Electronics USA has introduced the “LG Comfort Kit” for its U.S. laundry appliance lineup, making its inclusive design philosophy a reality in one of the most essential rooms in the house. The new accessories help make the laundry experience easier for a wide range of users, including seniors and individuals with varying mobility and dexterity needs. The accessories are:

• LG Comfort Kit Door Easy Handle — Attaches directly to the appliance door, allowing users to open their washer or dryer without gripping the pocket handle. The hanndle is compatible with select LG WashTower, WashCombo and front-load washer and dryer models.
• LG Comfort Kit Drawer Easy Handle — Attaches to the detergent dispenser drawer, making it easier to pull open for users who find gripping difficult. This accessory is compatible with select LG WashTower, LG WashCombo and front-load washer and dryer models.
• LG Comfort Kit Easy Ball — Snaps directly onto existing control dials, creating a larger, easier-to-grip surface that simplifies cycle selection. Compatible with select LG WashCombo and front-load washer and dryer models.

While the Comfort Kit represents a new hardware expansion, LG’s tactile stickers and Braille owner’s manuals are part of an ongoing program. These adaptive resources remain available to consumers and can be requested directly through LG Customer Service.
