Merloni error codes

Re: Merloni error codes

In the subscribers area we’ve been working on a little project called “The Fault Code Bible”. Essentially this is a collated list of all the fault codes that we know about, some test procedures and other handy little tips. Until later this week I won’t know where we are with the BSH Group ones but I expect that we should be able to cover the main ones.

Along with them…

Candy/Hoover
Smeg
Whirlpool
Electrolux Group
Samsung

And whatever else we can amass before we publish it.

Now, please bear in mind that this is a collaborative work based on information that we can get and then, on some, we wish to add our experience as well.

The plan always was to make this available as a downloadable PDF file so you can print it yourself, but I have been asked many times if people can just buy an A5 booklet with all this info in it to keep on the van. Well, turns out that you probably will be able to do so.

There’s even a chunk of the money going back into the subs funds to fund other projects from it as well.

So here’s what I’d ask, before we go to print with this we’ll be taking orders for it as we will do short print runs, pretty cheap these days in all honesty, to order. The minimum order we can place is about 25 copies so if you miss one run when we do the next one is solely based on how many are ordered.

We will obviously update the book on each run with the latest info we get, but we’d let everyone know about it.

What I would say is that, if you have fault codes that are not in the Known Error Codes thread in the Trade Tech. forum please send us them.

And if you want one of these books they will be available soon, hopefully before the end of next month we’ll be publishing the first edition. If any trade suppliers want to advertise in it, you have my email and number most of you. 😉

Re: Merloni error codes

Kwatt,

I’m glad that you answered to my post and the way…
I’m always considered my self from “Europe” as well from this planet not only because Romania has gain into E.U. (was always there instead of cold war and communist party who divided minds) but also because of my feelings as well as others peoples like me who wasn’t birth in that part of globe. I want to thanks to all, good people like you, who put professionalism in front of other thinks and are willing to learn from each other. From my point of view aren’t important credits as communication between people who shares same goals, succeed to cross obstacles (manufactures for ex.) in order to do their job and give the best.

Documents can be done very easily in PDF with Acrobat Distiller or Professional and can be also re-designed and protected as well as Word documents.
I don’t know better way to design this kind of book but more likely I would do like one tree as: manufacture/brand; way to go onto service mode and reading faults; faults meaning; possible way/suggestion to repair (what to check). I spoke more from my repairing way as electronics engineer. For ex. most of machines now have self diagnostic program who starts before going to main program selected. If you know the way to enter in it, faults meaning and what to check is good start to do one rapid and exact diagnose. There are already too much (many) models of logical program inside devices but basics are the same which correlated with some specific tech. info. we should be able to do our job.

One good ex. in way of how can we exchange info is that possibly to publish only in trade area of any file (PDF; word; rar) or image (jpeg; gif) then all people who’s interested to save or reply… and that without having any additional program like: “server…..”. Only thing which must be done before this is to keep it safety (private for “naked eyes”).
Another way is to create one server where can you connect only ftp.(with user name and other password) where can be stored (all files: service manuals; photos) entire data base in other words. There can be added in one folder all participants files and organized by admin. into specific folder.

As last word I’ve received last week merloni key and manage to get soft program for her also. I can say it can be very useful for some of us this kind of toys from all manufactures… it can be done almost anything: read/write EPROM; command manually any machine peripheral (such as door lock, pump, valve…) independently or all in test; see wash statistics including previous fault and many times did occur one fault…
Normally all this hardware keys from different manufactures should be able to order from spare parts suppliers together with soft’s…

I’m still working on the book. I think I’ll be working on it for a long, long time somehow with many revisions and versions as things get added to it over time.

The first version should be available, all going to plan, at the end of April.

Two? Don’t be greedy Bill it’s just one each for ‘subscribers’ now, don’t forget. 😉

Re: Merloni error codes

Count me in too! that is too as in as well rather than in quantity though ‘cos I don’t want to (That’s the other one….I mean to) be seen as being greedy!

And if you need any help with the grammer………….. 😆

Martin,

You say that only one for subscribers, please do not say that I am a subscriber when it seems that I am not.
