The answer is generally ‘YES’. Most would rather you had a working product than a broken product. I have asked a few manufacturers, and they tend to say the same thing. They want you to have a working product, and be happy with their brand, so you keep buying into the brand.

I asked them thinking that they would not like you Niggling your receipts and maximising your warranty claims. So if you haven’t already, signup for a free Lite Account and take advantage of warranty you already paid for.
