      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

Does anyone happen to have a service manual laying around for a WFW8640BW0 (alpha 2) Whirlpool front load washer?

I uploaded (2) of the (3) tech sheets mentioned in that Service Update,

but they seem to have gotten "lost"

I was working on the Downloads section last night-- fixing the site search engine so it finds files with terms like "500" (success! Try it out) and recent uploads may have gotten nuked. Just re-upload. All good.

Forgive me, in my drunken haze I must have taken the original Job Aid from Whirlpool about seven months ago and noone figured out how to create another one. Or then again this may only be for the Alpha 1. I didn't notice this in the downloads but with this Job Aid and the link above that should be equal to the Alpha 2 Job Aid.

1) search for the (9) files "Sub-Zero" < no results

2) all good

The built-in search in the site is MySQL-based so you can't use special characters like "-" in the search terms-- the search interprets that as "Find files containing the specific term 'sub' without the specific term 'zero'".  This construct is true and the search is working as designed.  This is why tags are such an important component of effective searching and why I have stressed including them with uploads.   

 

If you want a more Google-like search experience when looking for files, use this search box:  http://appliantology.org/concierge/search-tools.html

There is no document with the standalone term "sub" in it.

"Subzero" does not equal "sub". Two different terms.

The search is working correctly. You're thinking like a googler. Use the other search engine I linked to.
