Motor-Compressor - FIVE YEAR: Federal Industries warrants to the original purchasers that it will repair or exchange at our option, at any time during the five years following the date of original shipment from the factory a motor-compressor assembly of like design and capacity if the motor-compressor
assembly or any part thereof is proved to our satisfaction to be inoperative due to defects in material or factory workmanship.

Equipment Service Assistance
If there is a problem with a Federal case, call our Equipment Service Department for answers and information on how to resolve the problem. Our experience with and knowledge of our displays often saves downtime and repair expense. In some situations it may be necessary to have a service company work on the case. In these situations Federal does not dictate which service company you have to use. You may use any qualified service company that you feel comfortable with. If you need assistance in finding a competent service company our
service department will be happy to help.

Warranty Claim
If the case is under warranty, the parts and labor may be paid for by Federal Industries. Refer to warranties. To proceed with a warranty claim for service work performed, telefax or mail the service repair bill to the Equipment Service Department. To process the claim, the serial number, model number, and a description of the work performed needs to be noted. The claim will then be evaluated to see if the work performed is covered under warranty, that prevailing labor rates were used, and that a reasonable time for the repair took place. A check for the repair work will then be forwarded to the appropriate party.

Part Sales
If you are in need of a replacement part for a Federal display call our Parts Department. If you have the item number of the part you require when you call, it will speed up the processing and insure the accuracy of your order. Part item numbers can be found in the Operations Manual shipped with your case. If you do not know the part item number, we will need the model number, and the serial number of the display that requires the part.
Parts are usually shipped the next day by UPS, C.O.D. Next day delivery and alternate payment methods can be arranged.

Compressor Failure
Federal Industries warrants the repair or exchange at any time during the first five years of the motor-compressor assembly. Refer to warranties.
In the event of a compressor failure during the first five years of operation, contact Federal's Equipment Service Department. When you call, please provide the serial number and the model number of the display with the defective compressor. If the compressor is within the first year of operation, it can be exchanged with the compressor manufacturer's wholesale outlet for an over-the-counter exchange. The defective compressor will be required by the wholesaler. After the first year, Federal will replace a faulty compressor directly from the factory or the compressor may be purchased locally.
When the compressor is shipped from the factory, you will be invoiced and credited when we receive the serial tag from the defective compressor.
When the compressor is purchased locally, Federal will reimburse up to a predetermined amount, once we receive the compressor serial tag and wholesaler's invoice. It is important to remember that the compressor warranty covers the cost of the compressor only. Labor and/or other parts that may be required are not included.
