Sometimes all you need to get your major home appliance working is the use and care, owner's manual or user's guide that has long since disappeared. The resources listed here will help you to get a replacement manual with the minimum of fuss.

Some of the larger manufacturers now make owner's manuals available on-line in downloadable Adobe Acrobat .PDF file format. If you don't already have the Adobe Acrobat plug-in for your browser or an Adobe Acrobat file reader, you can get it for free here:

Of course, the exact model number off the appliance (and occasionally the serial number as well) will be required to get the proper manual for it.

If you need help in locating the model and serial number identification tag on your dishwasher, fridge, stove, clothes washer, dryer or other *major* home appliance, check the Appliance411 'Repair Parts' section's "Where to find the model number" page for tips.

If no download service is available for your manual, many are in stock and ready to ship at the RepairClinic. Just use your appliance's model number to search their on-line catalog.
