The Home Repair Manual
listed for sale in this section contains all the relevant items mentioned in the
single WM manuals but it covers ALL the models listed rather than just the one,
It also covers a larger amount of models which stretch into the 95 series,
because they were the forerunner to the WM range and the mechanical side of
their construction is the same. Unfortunately only the listed WM models have
wiring connection charts. There are over 80 pages of text and diagrammatic
information in this manual which is geared to help you locate and rectify most
faults, including some of the not so common ones.
Also
included in this manual are wiring connection charts for the following
models.
WM11-WM12-
WM13-WM14-WM19-WM20- WM21-WM22-WM23-WM25-WM31-WM32-WM34-WM35-WM51-
WM52-WM53-WM54-WM55-WM56-WM60-WM61-WM62-WM63-WM64-WM65-WM66-WM67-WM68-WM69-WM77-WM80-WM81-WM83
