Motor Warranty Claims Procedure

The following outlines the procedure for all applicable motor warranty claims to be submitted to Toshiba International Corporation (TIC):

1. Identify the product and warranty policy associated with the products listed in Table 1.

2. If the customer determines that their motor (Motor) requires service, they should contact an EASA Motor Shop of their choice (EASA Shop) and contract them to perform any necessary inspections¹.

3. Once EASA Shop receives the Motor from the customer, EASA shop will perform an inspection at their facility upon the customer’s request.

a. TIC reserves the right (i) to request inspection of failed equipment be performed by TIC at its Houston, Texas facility, and/or (i) to witness any EASA Shop inspection prior any work being performed by EASA Shop.

4. Any such inspection should include disassembly of the Motor and a documented shop diagnosis of the relevant failure.

5. If the issue is deemed a warranty failure by EASA Shop, an EASA warranty repair report shall be filled out and submitted as a claim to TIC along with pictures of the failed Motor components.

i. alignment readings;

ii. vibration readings at startup;

iii. vibration readings at running conditions;

v. temperature readings of Motor bearings and windings

6. Contact TIC’s Motor Warranty Department at 1(855) 803-7092 prior to proceeding with any repairs to the Motor. Warranty coverage shall be denied if work is started prior to notification of TIC. A repair quote from EASA Shop must be approved by TIC before EASA Shop may proceed with any repairs.

a. Reports for all inspections done by EASA Shops must be forwarded to TIC for review.

b. EASA Shop will then forward to the customer a copy of the inspection report along with the results of whether the warranty claim has been accepted or denied by TIC.

7. For all motors replaced by TIC in lieu of repair, the nameplate of the failed Motor must be sent to TIC’s Motor Warranty Department.

8. The completed EASA Shop evaluation report, repair report, and applicable service repair invoice must be received by TIC within thirty (30) days of completed repairs in order to be eligible for payment by TIC.

¹ Any motor 20 horsepower or below is subject to TIC’s Advance Exchange Warranty Program. See LV Motor Advance Exchange Form for instructions.

Determining Warranty Period

(From Date of Shipment)

Table 1. Motor Warranty Term Lengths.

Motor Warranty Claim Requirements

At a minimum, the following specific requirements will apply for all warranty claims submitted:

• All warranty claims that make reference to special contracts or agreements must include a reference to such contract or agreement at time of the accompanying request.

• Warranty claims must be submitted to TIC within thirty (30) days of the failure. No warranty claims will be accepted after this time.

• An EASA Motor Warranty Report that has been completed in full will be required for all motor warranty claims prior to any repairs being started. Warranty coverage shall be denied if repairs are started without prior TIC approval.

o All warranty claims on motor winding failures must include pictures of the failure, which shall be provided along with the applicable EASA warranty repair report.

• Returned goods must have been approved in advance by TIC and are to be sent prepaid with a referenced Toshiba return authorization number. The Return Authorization form can be found online at https://www.toshiba.com/tic/service-warranty/service-request-forms.

Please note: The TIC Motors & Drives Division Field Service Department (Field Service Department) will be responsible for pricing policy on repairs. Where applicable, a baseline for warranty repair pricing will be established per the current release of VAUGHEN'S PDQ pricing system. Final repair pricing shall be determined and approved by the Field Service Department prior to any work being performed. Failure to confirm TIC warranty approval may result in non-payment for any unauthorized work that has been completed.

Applicable Warranty Period After a Repair or Replacement is Performed

When an EASA motor repair shop repairs a motor, the repaired portion of the motor is now covered by the warranty offered by the repair shop from the date of the repair. When required documentation, which shall include applicable EASA inspection reports, shop repair reports, and completed invoices, is sent to TIC and to the extent such documentation has been accepted by TIC, TIC’s original warranty will still apply to the motor except with respect to the repaired portion, which is to be covered by the applicable warranty, if any, offered by the EASA motor repair shop that performed such repair.

If/when a decision is made to replace the entire motor, the replacement motor will be subject to the remaining warranty period of the original warranted motor. The warranty period does not start over for the replacement motor.
