Winchester Electronics Replacement

[mwindisch]

The Winchester safe I bought as a black Friday special in 11/22 started making beeping sounds. There are numerous references to this in reddit and YouTube. I'm posting here for informational and search purposes. Winchester warrants the electronic for a year. Their customer service phone line puts you in queue never to reach a rep and email gets auto reply but in my case, I had to bug them again with email and they replied. They said the keypad was bad and out of warranty was $65 to replace. The same electronics is on Amazon from a company called YOSEC for $59. The swap out took me 5 minutes. Here is the keypad in question.

That sucks.. Have Cannon's.. few years old. Called them with an issue and they sent one out no questions asked. Even sent me a spare for my other as it wasn't the "new" one.

That keypad is identical to my Field & Stream safe that's about 8 yrs old, on its 3rd 9v battery, not bad in my book. Thanks for posting the Amazon information though.
