Thanks to these repair instructions we avoided a 175.00 service call. In 5 minutes the recliner is fully operational👍

Thanks for this video. Follow your troubleshooting info I was quickly able to determine that I had a bad switch. Replacement $17 from Amazon, on its way now. Plus the replacement has a USB outlet, perfect for charging my devices. Thank you!

THANK YOU!!! Been dreading this issue for months but with your video I figured out it's a $13 fix!

Thank you! Our couch hasn’t been working right for over a month and I was able to fix it on my own following your video.

So awesome my husband did the elimination and ordered the part from Walmart and fixed it himself. The part was a total of $32.46 that included shipping.

How do I get the motor off to check it? I checked all the wires and power and the motor is making a clicking sound

Many thanks to the author. With the help of your video, I managed to fix the couch myself. The issue was precisely about the damaged wires.

Thank you! We will try this on my husband's day off.

Thank you for this information. I just fixed my couch today 22nd of December 2021. You saved me some $

Thanks for your advice! My recliner is working again and I didn't have to replace any parts. :)

I have a 3 seater recliner just like this video. I don’t know what type of screws to use in order to connect them together. I just found the long metal piece that holds the couch together.

2:45 in the video and I found the fault in wiring. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much for this video. Allowed me to close a recliner that was stuck in the open position (by swapping wire connections) and now I can order the replacement part at my convenience.

Hi there, thank you kindly. It helped me to figure out that the folding button is not working. Would changing the switch will sort it out? Ive swapped the buttons and the same thing happened on the other side. I can unfold it but cant fold it back up. Thank you again xxx

Thankyou so much for this video. I replaced the cable and now it works. £8 job well done

Very good advice. Was able to fix my sofa

If you pull the motor, will you be able to just push the sofa closed?

Thank you, thank you, thank you 1 million times it worked!!! OMG I was freaking out

I have a recliner that I bought used. The sofa has three motors, one for each section and none work. The wiring is intact with no sign of degradation. I'm wondering if its likely that three motors are bad?

Great video unfortunately my recliner switch cords are not long enough to reach the opposite side for troubleshooting.

Repaired my recliner! It was the switch.

At 3.18 you taping the wire. For my sofa that wire is broken can you help me with the name of that wire as I cannot find a replacement for it. Thank you

Hi there can you please help me because one of the chairs will not go down and I don't know what to plug it up to

I have a similar love seat with the recliners on the ends. It has the option of charging my phone. The charger no longer works. How do you replace the power/charger switch? Thanks!

Hi I have just came across your video but my sofa led is lighted up green when is power on so I suppose my issue is not the same as mention in the video. I tried pressing the button but the recliner doesn’t comes up although the led button turns yellow. May I know if my problem still lies on the wiring? 😔 Hope you could help me on this. Thanks

Great advice and video. Was able to fix my sofa. Thank you

I have a mechanical one like this. The back rest of the middle section has gone down and won't stay up. Help please.

Help!! the switch light's on & changing colour ok when pressed, but nothing's moving. Anyone any ideas please?

Where do you find replacement wires? And what would they be called. Unfortunately, but luckily...my dog has 9 lives! Somehow, and amazingly, she was asleep under the chair (or must have been) and we all went to bed. She, at some point woke up and chewed my cables under the chair. Thankfully, we did not have kill her putting the chair in the closed position, nor did she kill herself chewing the wires! But I have no idea what to call the replacement wiring I need or where to shop to for it. Suggestions would be awesome!

Thank you so much this was so helpful!!!
