Targeted searches have become almost impossible anyway. I was trying to help my dad fix a fridge a couple of weeks ago and searching for info was infuriating.
The problem I had was the I'd enter the fridge's model number as part of the search and Google knows it's a fridge, so instead of "exact model disassembly" I'd get results closer to "fridge disassembly". It was useless.
And I felt like I was getting crushed by what I call synonym syndrome. When searching for info about the condensers, the search goes from "exact model condenser not cold" to "fridge condenser not cold" to "refrigerator condenser not cold" to "refrigeration condenser not cold" and suddenly I'm getting results for vehicle air conditioning problems.
It's so frustrating.
- Ferret7446 2y agoI've never had this problem when searching for an exact model number. You can find a couple of sites that have the manual in the first results; the only trick is finding the one with the least number of ads/lowest sketchiness.
