CONTROLLER-REBUILT CORE DEPOSIT PR 305878-000-C
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the -R suffix mean on the PR 305878-000-R controller?
A: The -R designation indicates a rebuilt controller. This is a returned unit that has been disassembled, inspected, cleaned, tested, and reassembled to like-new functionality. Rebuilt controllers must pass quality testing before shipment. A rebuilt unit costs less than a new controller while meeting the same performance standards, making it a cost-effective replacement option.
Q: What is a core deposit and why is it required?
A: A core deposit is a refundable charge applied when purchasing a rebuilt part. It incentivizes you to return your old failed controller so it can be refurbished and reused, reducing waste and cost. When you return the old core in acceptable condition, the deposit is refunded to your account. The core must be in repairable condition; heavily damaged cores may not qualify for full refund.
Q: How much is the core deposit for the PR 305878-000-R?
A: The core deposit amount is listed in the part description as PR 305878-000-C. Contact us with the part number to get the current deposit amount and any applicable time frame for core return. Core deposits typically range from 25 to 50 percent of the part price, depending on the component complexity and remanufacturing requirements.
Q: Is a rebuilt PR 305878-000-R controller as reliable as a new one?
A: Rebuilt controllers are tested and validated to perform at the same level as new units. All internal components that show wear are replaced, and the unit is burned-in tested before shipment to verify functionality. The warranty and performance guarantee are equivalent to new parts. Rebuilt controllers are suitable for any application where the original new part would be used.
Q: What conditions disqualify a core from refund?
A: Cores are rejected for core deposit refund if they show evidence of water damage, physical breakage beyond repair (cracked housing, missing components, melted circuitry), or corrosion indicating exposure to harsh chemicals. The core must be in sufficient condition to remanufacture. If your core is questionable, contact us before returning it to clarify whether refund eligibility applies.
Q: What is the warranty on the rebuilt PR 305878-000-R?
A: Rebuilt controllers typically carry a 12-month warranty from shipment date covering defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty does not cover damage from misuse, incorrect voltage, water exposure, or improper electrical connections. Contact us immediately if the controller fails during the warranty period; we will evaluate the failure and provide replacement or repair options.
