Factory Repair & Equipment Evaluation

WaxMelters provides guided troubleshooting, factory evaluation and repair, replacement and retrofit components, and remote technical assistance for WaxMelters melting tanks, heated process equipment and filling systems.

Troubleshooting is required before warranty authorization or factory evaluation. The required process identifies the equipment, documents the reported condition and helps determine whether the correct next step is a replacement component, repair by qualified personnel, remote technical assistance or factory repair. Do not ship equipment or disassemble designated components unless instructed or authorized by M&FE.
