Genuine Toshiba owner's manual. Couldn't really ask for more. And written in understandable English in contrast to a few recent experiences I have had with manuals for other equipment other than Toshiba but made in China and written in "Chinglish"!
I purchased a vintage Sony mixer off eBay and within the hour was able to locate and purchase the manual for it.I mean really,where else can you find a manual for a product made in 1983!? It was easy to find and purchase/download the manual I needed.I will use this site again for other equipment I have! Great site!
It`s full copy of a service manual from url http://www.philips.owner-manuals.com/PM3216-service-manual-PHILIPS.html

Something not working?
Problems which you can resolve yourself.
Problem
� The machine does not start up:
Possible cause
� The door is not firmly closed. � The machine is not plugged in or there is no power at the socket. � The main fuse or the fuse in plug has blown. � The programme selector dial is not positioned correctly and the ON/OFF button has not been depressed.
� The machine does not fill:
� The water tap is closed. � The inlet hose is squashed or kinked. � The filter in the inlet hose is blocked. � The door is not properly closed.
� The machine fills then empties immediately: � The machine does not empty and/or does not spin:
� The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to relevant paragraph in �water drainage� section. � The drain hose is squashed or kinked. � A programme which ends with the water left in the tub has been selected. � The drain filter is clogged.
� There is water on the floor:
� Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been used. � Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is damp. � The drain hose is damaged. � The drain pump has not been properly screwed on after cleaning. � The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not been replaced after cleaning the pump.
� Unsatisfactory washing results:
� Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. � Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing. � The correct temperature was not selected. � Excessive laundry load.
� The machine vibrates or is noisy:
� The transit bolts and packing have not been removed. � The support feet have not been adjusted. � The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. � Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
� The door will not open:
� The programme is still running. � The door lock has not been released. � There is water in the drum. 20
