FAQ My Festo

What is the difference between a complaint and a warranty?

All our complaints are registered worldwide. And in the event of a technical complaint, a warranty may apply.

Why do I have to start an application (complaint/guarantee)?

In all cases, it is important to file a complaint when something is wrong with a product. This could be, for example, if it does not work technically. This may be covered by the warranty, but it may also be that the warranty period has expired or the problem is outside the warranty.

Where & how can I start a request (complaint/guarantee)?

You can start a request (complaint/guarantee) via our MyFesto portal using your FOX account - (LINK)

Can I return unused material?

What information is necessary for an application (complaint/guarantee)?

After completion, you will receive a reference number starting with IE3 for confirmation.

How long does the investigation take?

It depends on the type of research. A 4D report takes several weeks, an 8D report can take up to two months. There will be costs involved if it falls outside the warranty.
