In order to ensure the validity of the warranty procured under contract 36C25221P0626, a factory authorized service and maintenance program is required. Contract 36C25221P0626 provided the R Newal program for the rebuild and renewal of the compressor of the chiller unit and comes with a five-year warranty upon completion of the rebuild. The warranty covers parts and labor for the compressor for a five-year period .
