      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/

Method for Searching for Service Bulletins


Andy's Appliance

Recommended Posts

What is the best way to search for Service Bulletins?  Just search model number under "all content"?  Is there a more specific way? 

Thank you 

Andy

You could do it that way but you'll have to wade through lots of results. 

Best is to use the pull down menu in the search box and select just the Files, as shown in the how-to-search video. Use keywords, like "Samsung ice" or "Whirlpool washer bulletin". Start off with just a couple of keywords, check the results,  then add more keywords to get more specific.

The search functions the same exact way. The only thing that changed is a minor tweak to the user interface to make it more explicit which section of the site you’re searching: forums, Files, gallery, blogs, etc. Wildcards still work the same way as does everything else “under the hood”. 

What’s an example of a recent search you’re having trouble with?

Like if I’m trying to find out how to test a LG washer clutch I search for LG washer clutch and get 18k results. What is the best way to do a search like that to not get every post with LG in it.

When you click into the search bar, there's an option just for that issue you're having in the dropdown menu. Under the heading "Find results that contain..." you'll see that you can select whether you want search results to contain "all" or just "any" of your search terms. In the case of your search, you would want to set that to "all".

But, since you asked, you shall receive! Here's an updated video for searching:
