    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.

    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

    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?

    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!

    • @DIYtimeTech
      @DIYtimeTech  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not sure if you can buy just the wires alone. You may need to get one of these repair kits: ebay.us/3q9qjL

    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

    • @user-cjmbabya
      @user-cjmbabya ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I found the problem myself. I unplugged the settee. The fault happened when the recliner was being fully extended. I traced the power cable wire under the side that was being reclined. Found that the wire had gotten trapped in the mechanism. I cut the wire and temporarily attached it back together with electrical tape and replaced the plug fused. Working fine and dandy. Been out today and bought a new fuse and joining box all safely sorted.
