Today one of my SAX'ses sudenly started to make a loud buzzing noise, and a couple of seconds later it started to smell bad!
I still have some "old" broken unit's, and now I'm thinking of getting them replaced/fixed.
Anyone here who might know if Xanura (rip) will still replace "bad" units, and if so, where do I send it to?

In your situation I would contact Marmitek and ask for/demand the same service level as you used to have with Eaton Holec. For Marmitek a flexible service level would be smart to give the Xanuara products a good start.

I'll give Marmitek a call tomorrow, and I will report back here.

I too have a couple of broken modules; My breakdown rate has dropped from 7 per year initially to a stable 4 per year now. I have a couple of spare modules, so I replace them with spares until I can send back the usual 4 modules once a year.
I was already wonderen where to send this year's batch. Marmitek aquired Xanuara, but I didn't buy Marmitek modules. I've bought Holec-Eaton branded modules, from Holec-Eaton. They're the party I did business with and they are resposible for the product and the service it requires. Did you email Eaton on this already?

The problem is that the unit is a old 2nd hand one.
I'm going to call Marmitek now.. Will be back with a report.

Hm, ain't it so that you can assume that the lifespan is longer than 1 year and so claim a longer warranty?

Last year I had 5 broken modules and some of them where almost 5 years old.
Someone I bought from marktplaats so I had no receipt.
That was no problem, Eaton give me all new modules for free.

Antoon.. I know. Eaton's service was great. I guess that those times are gone now with Marmitek beeing the new owner

Yes, even I have to admit that Eaton's service was exceptionally good.
I think the legal warranty period for parts installed in your electric installation is A LOT longer than a year. I think it may even be as long as 10 years. But being right isn't the same as getting your rights. And since Marmitek isn't a party in your purchasing agreement you'd better try your chances with Eaton. I don't think they can get away by fending of their duties.
