problems with 870 under warranty advise !

[xtreme13]

hello everyone just trying teo see if anyone has had issues with the 870! I purchased new back in sep 2020 great machine overall but i am going on my 5th radiator under warranty but i feel i may have a lemon .legend brands covers the work but does lemon law apply to carpet cleaning machines ? This time around there going to change out the thermostat aswell and radiator cap but dammn I’ve had other mounts and never have i experienced this . I feel like getting some legal advise if all they want to do is replace the rediator and not the machine . 5 year warranty has saved my ass for now but i only got one year left of coverage . Each radiator is lasting roughly 8 to 10 months and one time went out within a month so i feel the issue is something else

Any input would greatly be appreciated !


thanks

jimmy

how is the radiator failing/symptoms? Same way each time?


no...unless CA has some weird exceptions , which isn't out of the realm of possibility, lemon laws would not apply.

Only real protection is that of warranty laws and it sounds like they are complying with those


Are you just not cooling, getting leaks, overpressure?

Have you sought out a 2nd opinion?

How many hours is on your 870?

And I"m curious as well. What are the symptoms? Are you sure it's the radiator and not a faulty water pump that circulates the antifreeze?

My 570 radiator failed after a year. If you want to be done with the failing radiators, go to your local radiator shop and have them build you an old school radiator. The aluminum ones obviously don’t last.
How much money are you losing each time the radiator fails? Spend the money and fix the problem for good.
