Re: WMA34 Control Board config codes
Post removed due to too much tech information given in a Public Forum
Please note my first post it does apply to Trade aswell when advising the public.

Re: WMA34 Control Board config codes
Hi
Is the button pushing re-programming in the user manual? NO
If its not in the user manual its technical information and therefore my previous post applies.Greg
Re: WMA34 Control Board config codes
I find the very hypocritical after reading so many replies that issue far greater so called technical advice than pushing buttons.
Re: WMA34 Control Board config codes
It’s not even just that indespoint, I doubt that Indesit would be over the moon about these things being made publically available. If they are released officially, fine. If they are already commonly available and I can show/prove that, fine.
If not we risk being sued by Indesit (highly likely, any excuse :?) or by the person trying to repair it if things don’t go to plan.
This is why we can’t get specific. Sorry, but it’s the world we live in these days and we didn’t make it, we just have to live with it.
Personally I’d love to have all this info available, especially to the trade at large, but even we are hampered by some manufacturers.

Re: WMA34 Control Board config codes
I suggest you then make sure you have you dont have one rule for one and one rule for your so called moderators as there are far greater levels of technical advice offered within this site to members of the public. for example how to test a thermostat or continuity checks on a series wound wash motor.
Instead of saying ensure machine is unplugged why not just say cant tell you due to the fact if you get electrocuted you may sue usRe: WMA34 Control Board config codes

Because it’s copyright material, simple as that.
The Indesit company as they are now known will not take lightly to information such as this being duplicated in a public forum.
Personal knowledge is a different matter 😉

I don’t recall that at all. I do see post advising to check such things often, but not how to do it as we’d usually expect anyone capable of carrying out the repair would have the nonce and ability to do such a thing.
There are only one set of rules and they’re quite clearly there for anyone that cares to read them. And, they’re there to protect everyone, not just the public.
The fact is that people have the right to attempt to repair themselves if they so choose. We try to advise as best we can within set limits. Those limits hopefully ensure that we all stay on the right side of any and all legislation as well as copyright breaches.
You stated that you work for Indesit, what do you think they’d say if you asked them if you could publically make that information available? I doubt you’d get a favourable reply.

Re: Tech info
I have to say indespoint, I’m with the MODS on this one. If Indesit Company had wanted this info in the public domain for the customer to access I am sure they would have put it in the handbook.
They choose not to for a reason and only they know why. I am sure that had the request come from a bonefide trader whom had been checked out by the site admin persons, the post would have remained in tact. but as it wasn’t ….
Jackal
Re: Tech info
Configuration Charts included in the box with the new control board? or at least they use to be, so why are they asking anyway.
Back in the early 90’s Hotpoint setup the original in house help desks.
That kicked off with guys wanting to impart there knowledge on the general public. It backfired when punters would buy the part on the say so of the engineer take it home and fit it, to find the problem wasnt cured.
It was soon stopped and became a facility for their own engineers and non tech for all others.The knowledge you all have as service engineers (that reminds me of a previous post ” engineers”) has taken many years to obtain, why give it away for nothing?
