Banned from a DIY site

Was I wrong? I have been banned and the thread has been deleted. The reason I brought up my cash situation is because he sold me a latch assembly for $70 where I could have bought just a latch switch for half that. As it turns out, none of the parts he sold work.

Unforgiven

I did a quick check and you are no longer a member :sigh:

seems to me he don't read to well

And I just asked why you were banned

I wonder how much of [URL="applianceblog"]http://www.applianceblog.com/[/URL] is like that?

I think he had to much egg on his face after seeing that you did in fact state you tried a new board, so he just dumped your posts and membership. How lame is that ? :shakehead

They don't ban you they just make you disappear

like he just did to me

Agreed. He apparently can't read...

Is it just me or did the guy's experience credentials look a little weak?

"Appliance Repair School" sounds pretty generic to me. And based on my experience with Sears repair techs, I wasn't real impressed.

I've dealt with a lot of repair techs over the years in computer hardware, automotive, tractors and heavy equipment, appliances, and so on. I have run into very few of them that actually knew what they were doing. Most of them lacked basic troubleshooting skills. If the answer wasn't in a manual, they usually couldn't figure out the problem. Most mechanics and computer techs today just swap parts until they eventually fix the problem. I have seen Dell techs swap several thousand dollars worth of parts on a $10K server just to find out that a $500 motherboard was toast and needed to be replaced.

From the sound of your situation though, this guy just wants to sell you more parts.

I don't know what type of dishwasher you have, but recently GE just issued a big recall on a lot of their dishwashers for a potential fire hazard with wiring in the door near the rinse agent reservoir. My dishwasher was included in this recall. I haven't had them come out and do the repair yet though. I just don't use the rinse agent which apparently leaks on the wiring and eats away at the insulation on the wires.

Thanks guys for confirming my suspicions. I don't think I was being sarcastic or in any way that would warrant being deleted. He clearly was preoccupied or something.

TOOCOOL, what happened?

Sorry, but we're not going to use CPF for complaints of other forums, and discussions of whether their bannings and/or other moderation is fair or unfair.
