CONSUMER WARRANTY CLAIM PROCEDURE

Upon determination and validation by an authorized OEM dealer that a WFCO product has a 

defect, a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number will be required before the product can 

be returned. The RGA number can be requested by completing the Warranty Information Fax 

Sheet and appropriate Troubleshooting Form found at www.wfcoelectronics.com. Once these 

forms have been completed, email the forms along with Proof of Purchase to 

[email protected] or fax the three documents to the Warranty Department at
