2.35 MILLION manuals

"No User Servicable Parts" mean just THAT.

Do not attempt repairs if you are not certified to do so.

Why?

My sentiments exactly.

"No User Serviceable Parts" ???? ..... pffft.

Written like the average control freak.

This world is put together by smart monkeys with two eyes, two hands, and a working brain.

If somebody else did it, so can you. You just need to look carefully what might happen and don't do anything stupid.

And, if you do something stupid and get hurt don't blame anyone other than yourself.

We have too many laws already aimed at protecting people from their own stupid errors.

ISSUE MORE DARWIN AWARDS!

Five stars and a pin request.

Probably a sign of intelligence that you can recognize situations that are outside your realm of abilities.

For instance, would you attempt to disarm a land mine without significant training? Even demolition specialists err sometimes.

However, utility equipment repair is within the capabilities of people of average intelligence.

Great thread!

Just found a factory maintenance manual for my car.

A natty looking uniform and a certificate are no guarantee of proficiency.

Incidentally “Servicable” is spelled serviceable – did you bribe anyone to get your certification?

Question for other viewers of this thread; “Have you ever been ripped off by a “certified” technician?”

Handy place to know about

Yes...please try....lol...I make more money off people whom tried to fix shit themselves...lol...and still have to csll me

DIY means do it yo damm self

thank you, it took me forever to find a manual for my frig a few months ago.

Just like two weeks ago, my microwave quit working.

It had a sticker on the back that said that.

It also had those security torx screws in it, but I knew from past experience there is a fuse in there.

Bought the security bit set for $5.99, took the thing apart and low and behold, there was a ceramic fuse in there.

20A, 250V fuse was $2.00.

Put new one in there and viola, it works again.

$8.00 fix and most people would have just thrown it out and bought a new one, or called a repairman.

You sound like the dumb fucks that told me not to try and replace the cracked screen on my cell phone.

It took all of ten minutes and looks/works like new.

I fixed my 700$ ozone unit, finally, after many attempts. It has not worked for years. I found online about a little fuse on the board. Bypassed it with a copper wire. Saved me a lot of money and now my old house smells nice and clean instead of smelling like the old wood stove.

OP You are a scholar and a gentleman!

This is like finding gold for me !!

I consider myself extremely resourceful when it comes to searching the web for stuff like this. I have NEVER found this site !

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!! You RULE!!


To all the "No serviceable parts inside dudes"

Now you get to breathe in harmful ions again -- doesn't matter though, soon your house will burn down when that thing catches fire ...

People like this are why they have that warning label ...

I would get the proper fuse and remove that by-pass asap, or that old house might be smelling like the wood stove while it is burning.

Hey guy; this: "Bought the security bit set for $5.99"

I need those too; where did you get that set?

Thanks

Take whatever it is to an authorized service center --

those screws are for your safety, to keep you from messing with something you shouldn't

yeah where do you get that

Can you just go suck a disk..

Not one ounce of "handyman" or mechanical ability in your body is there?

Do you drive a Prius too?

I concur with Gas Man; remove the jumper and insert the proper fuse.

Next step is - if the fuse blows again - search for the reason why it blows.

Don't be the winner of the next Darwin award.

Just look on ebay.
