These electrical motorized recliner couches were giving some trouble. The button on the side had a wire that pinched causing the switch to not work. In this video, I'm talking about why it broke and what we did to fix it.

4 years later. You just saved me about $200+ Thanks!!!
Well done! I was looking for a repair video on these by an expert and of course it took an electrician to make one so thanks!
You saved my sanity! had a full sectional in this format for under a year. Same issue. Was able to troubleshoot using your video in zero time (well, 10 minutes). Tanks man!
Yes not all heroes wear capes. This video helped me troubleshoot the problem and put my chair back into position by connecting the control switch on the other side to the motor. God my sister was buggin me about this for days. Thanks !
Thank you, this explains why one button reclines, but the second button was the culprit of a loose wire. And good advice for button location, very bad design.
Thank You for the video. It was very helpful. I unplugged and re-plugged the DIN cable, and that fixed my issue.
July 26 2020, 3:40pm. I just repaired my recliner. The Problem came from loose button as you indicated in your video. Took it apart and put it back together and it is working like the day I bought it. Thank you!
"Not all heroes wear capes" 😌🙏
Thank you for your video! It helped troubleshooting my issue. I had the same problem, took it apart as you suggested. Had a different looking connection, but sure enough, it had a pinch and just unraveling the wire did the trick! Thanks again!!! 😁👍🏽
Thanks for the video! This was exactly what was broken on two of my recliner seats.
Most in formative and helpful thanks
The disassembly and reassembly of the plug and how you fixed it would’ve been nice
thanks for sharing this.
Thanks. Best video I’ve seen on this. Very helpful.
thanks for the info!
Thanks so much for the info!!
I learned absolutely nothing from this video! Thank you
Right there with you
With all respect, he described the issue correctly. It is up to you to proceed to repair it or buy the part. The wire out of the switch is broken. Easy to repair it.
Facts
Thank you so much! It helped me figure out two recliners.
;-{]. LOL!>>>
Sometimes the two wires where they go into the motor are pinched, and if you pull them tight from that point and tie wrap them to the frame the motor will work.
Do you know if there is a manual over ride to these chairs that wont go down? Thanks. I have a LANE HOME FURNISHING
GARRISON POWER CONSOLE LOVESEAT W/ POWER STRIP
Good stuff bro
My control box makes a clicking sound but the headrest and the footrest are not moving. Does that mean my control box is bad, or is the switch bad?
Ok but what is the remedy to fix the control switch?If you leave it the way it is as shown it wont work.
You explain things very well! I have a lift chair that makes a popping noise as the base is going up. Any idea what that could be?
Lose weight.
How do you make a power chair remote control instead of buttons on side of chair
I tried replacing my electric reclining couch’s button & it unfortunately didnt work - The right side wasn’t working, but the left side was just fine. Does that mean it’s the motor?
Did u figure it out?
How do you get the cover off the switch to access the screws. Tried prying off with screw driver but doesn’t seem to be moving
4 wires....Power, Up, Down, Ground possibly? Trying to repair similar issue on a LaZboy recliner.
yes, I believe so. A neutral and not a ground, maybe. most likely power and N and two switch legs
I sort of have the same problem, except one button works, but the other one doesn't. It's getting power because it has lights. The open button works, but the close doesn't. It did this before, and I took it apart and cleaned the connections with alcohol, and that worked. But it happened again, and that didn't work. Do I need a whole button control unit?
I still think it is the switch, this is what sends the power or command to the motor.
@@Petersonelectricllc Thank you
We have a similar couch. When moving the furniture the power cord was pinched by the reclining frame and burnt in half.
I rewired the cord cutting out the arced ends.
The chair still doesn’t work, any ideas on how to fix it or what I need to replace?
Do you have a controller that controls the direction of the actuator? I have that 6 pin plug that goes to the switch but on the other side of the switch it's connected to a little black box with a circuit board in it. Would that be the controller?
We just bought new leather recliner couches from Macy's and will be going on our 3rd try of getting one that works perfectly. The problem we are having is the motors are skipping. (Couch has 2 recliners) They have power but it feels like your on a vibrating ride with pauses and jerks. Have had the tech guys come out and try to fix and they cannot ever figure it out and have another new couch sent out, lol. Does this sound like bad wiring? Can't believe a $5000 couch has these issues....
We spent $6k on ours from sofa mart, and have not had an issue with that in two years. It sounds related to an arm that is suppose to slid up and down on the rail. If the motor was out then this would be dead. But, if the arm is slipping then this is slipping issue. The only issue i had on one couch was the button.
Great video! I actually have a similar problem, but I have 4 buttons recline up, recline down, head rest up, and head rest down. my 2 head rest buttons work perfectly and I can hear the recline down button getting power, but my recline up won't work and doesn't make any noise when pressed like the recline down does. Do you have any suggestions on what to do?
Did you ever figure this out? I’m having the same issue.
@@atourtillott so I was lucky enough to still be under warranty. They sent a guy out who said because the buttons were near where all the weight from your body goes it pulled the wires out from the button. He said you would have to cut it open and reattach the wires and sew it back. Which is a lot of work apparently
He called and asked them to replace the whole recliner and when they sent a new one it had a better set up. The buttons are in an easier to remove box and they are a little further back from where the weight goes.
@@brianchevalier3557 oh wow, yeah that sounds like a lot of work. I will have to see if mine has a similar setup to what you’re describing. Thanks!
Chiming in to say I also have the same problem. The headrest switches work but the recliner ones do not. Confirmed the motor is fine by plugging it into another couches switch
This is likely your issue as well. I have a couch from Costco with the two rocker switches. One for headrest up and down, the other for feet up and down. The problem is the zip tie they use to keep the wires from pulling back through the rear of the switch box actually makes it where the wires can’t flex at the zip tie, so they just bend and eventually wear through the wires due to the constant movement of the entire switch housing because of its location under the user’s backside. I had the yellow wire barely hanging on while the black wire was completely severed inside and only hanging on by the wire’s outer covering. I snipped those wires and rejoined them with solder sleeves and it works like a champ again.
We have a couch will close to same issue, when you recline it starts then stops part way and won’t move at all. If I unplug the 5 pin connection, let it sit for a few minutes plug back in then it will move again. Any suggestion?
Sounds like a bad switch.
My parents dog stuck his head up under the electronic sofa because his bone was under the sofa and it was reclining fine before that my mom moved it out from the wall to get his bone now it wouldn't recline on the right side but the left side works fine help I wanna help them fix it
Why would all lights light up instead of the one you turn on
I need help w my chair i plug it in and it's gives me a d c blinking lights
Dude you're the fuckin best
I really appreciate your video on recliner chairs and couches! I have a question about the recliner I have and wondered if you could reply.
I had the recliner working very well a few years ago but since we moved from Oregon back here in Tennessee, the recliner has not been working.
I believe the previous owner modified the wiring from the ac/dc adapter. The wires from the power supply run directly to a small black box (I’m guessing a relay switch). From there the wires are connected directly to the motor.
I wish I could send you a picture or two and get your take on this.
I did inspect the switch to raise and lower it and nothing appears to be wrong. But I’m going to unscrew the back of the switch and see if there’s anything wrong.
What do you think the small black box is for? I’m tempted to try and open it up but I don’t want to damage it.
I believe the power supply is the problem. I’m going to test it with a VOM to see if there’s any power coming from the adapter.
I’ll let you know what I find out about this recliner.
Thanks again for a great video!
I think it is a set down power supply, so the switches could work off of lower voltage, yet the motors run on 120volts.
I have a lazy boy and the power to the switch will turn and off, if move at all in the seat. HELP Thank you
I have a fairly new recliner... 2 years old maybe. I believe, from this video, that the switch is bad. Can I remove the old switch and somehow buy a new one myself, and install it? Any instructions you could share I would appreciate. For example, where do I buy a new switch, and what do I look at on the old switch, so I can buy the correct new switch. Thank you in advance!
on most parts are part numbers. maybe google or a furniture store has the parts and brand.
We have that same sofa. It's a matterhorn model. Our switch got stuck while opening or reclining the chair. Now its stuck in the reclined position. Where can I buy a new switch at?
I would try Sofa mart or some place that cares the switch, should be a model number on it to google.
I have this issue and I have only bought the sectional 3 months ago. I cannot take it apart - who should I call or contact to come out and fix? I'll call the furniture company first - but I'm feeling they might not know how to fix or offer a warranty.
My chairs are 17 yrs old. The transformer is a Linak tr700000-000105. Obsolete. Any recommendations for me on how I can replace these. I have 5 of them. The pin is 2 pin type like Ikea furniture. 120V-50-60hz max 1a max 30v max 60VA 10% max 6min/hr
Look up Mulin switches on Amazon
I have a couch like that but I think it’s like from 2012 or something and I can’t figure out where the wires are supposed to go right now I can reclin only on 1 but I can’t figure out we’re the wires are supposed connect to each other
Legendary Mystic Warlock I have the same issue. Took the control to an electrician, but it only makes the chair recline now. Tried getting in touch with the manufacturer to no avail. Where can these controllers be bought? I got one off eBay and it didn’t work.
Button is lit up on one feature and remote is not functioning, just stuck.
My couch don't work in one side
Either a switch or harness
My remote does not light up..so i.cant put it up or down..and the power box it lit up..but not the remote..my chair is stuck half way up..and i really cant sit in it..help

Come over here 👈 idk why I find that funny
200$ for a bad switch. Im out.
Look under the seat at the motor. Get the model#, look up on Amazon. There you can scroll to bottom and see switches. Description will list furniture brand for compatibility. I just did this for my sofa that quit in the fully reclined position. It kept reclining up, but would not recline down. I pulled the pin out of the actuator leg section to recline until I can order the switch. Take a picture of the motor sticker as it has all of the information you'll need to search online. Best wishes.
@@ggshandsomeboy5103 thank you!
