The TDS disc hasn’t been available for about a year from memory.
Links missed, it’s easy when there’s so many posts per day. 😉
The trouble is that Electrolux might get a tad upset if it found that the general public could access their trade information that is normally protected by a secure login as, without a login, you’d never find those documents.

why be so objective… the rules say dont do it, so dont
theres always a safety aspect to consider as well… you can never , ever be sure of any posters level of technical ability, and that is the main reason.. supplying someone with the information that allows them to put themselves in a possibly dangerous or life threatening postition is both reckless and unnecesary
im not saying that the poster isnt capapble, what you or anyone else doesnt need is someone sat in a hospital bed telling the police they got the information from you, because you know what will happen in the blame culture we are in
just stick to the rules , its simpler, and safer
if the poster obtains the information by the power of google, then so be it, that will always happen
Re: Service/Repair Manual
It was my intention to be helpful not reckless. Like you say we have too much of a blame culture in the UK now.
Re: Service/Repair Manual
Have to be fair, as an Engineer I ca’nt say i’m too enamoured of Joe public being able to access Engineer manuals either.
Re: Service/Repair Manual
This argument is not new as it always rear it’s head every year or so. Being a retired white goods Tech/Engineer I would say you are correct but would you say to me, now that am general Joe public that I cannot have the technical info so that I can repair my wife’s ISE10.

Oh come on guys, get real, “Engineers manuals” are not Holy Grail neither are there too many about these days anyway. They’re getting more obsolete with every passing season.
Technical info is getting more and more accessible on-line each passing day. If it’s available it’s accessible, just ask Google. If Google ain’t got it, ask somewhere else. And if you get it and can make sense of it and don’t kill yourself or burn the house down in the process, what’s to worry?
What is the point of trying to “assess a persons technical ability” anyway? If they ask the question and you know the answer, and, more pertinentally, are willing to give it, then what’s the problem? If you don’t want to tell, don’t…..your choice….no-one will stand in your way.
Off topic slightly but no less pertinent. In the USA if you want to buy a firearm and you are a national, can prove your ID you can freely buy one. Blow your neigbourhood to kingdom come if you wish, “ain’t nobody gonna stop ya!”….is that right? You decide. 😈
Re: Service/Repair Manual
Hi Bill: Sorry to tell you but if you asked the question in the public forum then have to say yes. I would if you asked in the trade forum it might be a different matter.
Martin: Just because other people give out Manufacturer service info to members of the public, does’nt mean we have to follow suit. Not too long back someone I used to work with gave out a manual for a piece of machinery to a customer, next time the customers machine went wrong he tried to fix it himself & lost the top of his finger for his trouble. Guess who he is now trying to sue for damages, as if he had’nt had the manual he would’nt have tried to fix the machine. Thanks but i Don’t want to be put in that position.
Re: Service/Repair Manual
Interesting.
Given the ready availability of other mains powered electrical/electronic equipment manuals and information, not to mention just about anything for that potentially lethal piece of consumer equipment the car, I’ve always thought that witholding information about relatively simple domestic devices has more to do with attempting to protect the livelihoods of those doing the witholding, than any real concern for safety. Poking around equipment with no information has to be more dangerous than doing it with guidance from the manual.
