I have a grabber tool to reach the socks that stick at the back of my front loader. We stacked our washer and dryer to get more room in the closet. The control panel for the dryer is at the front of the machine, but slanted back slightly. I can't see the writing on the buttons so I have to dry my clothes by memory. Every once in a while, when my DH is nearby when I do laundry, I have him read the buttons for me - just to check my memory. He never knew we had a button for reducing static on the clothes...
