What to do with an electric sofa recliner that's stuck?

My transformer has a green light but when I plug it in it goes off

I have a leather sofa that has a electric recliner on each end. One end works and is fine, the other end is stuck, the green light isn't on at the button on the side. This side of the couch has done this before and it mysteriously started working again. The bad part is it went out completely reclined, which is an uncomfortable position if not trying to sleep. Last time it at least went out in my favorite position. Is there any way to bypass the electrical mechanics and manually just put the chair down? Im not concerned about it being fixed. Just down

My motor has gone bad,

Tags have been pulled off chair identifying mod#,

Was told without they can't tell me replacement without mod#..

How do I get an elderly person out of a recliner that is fully reclined with the power out

There's no power on either end. And on one end it's stuck in the up position where I was sitting. It just quit all at once no warning.

I forgot it's a leather sofa that I purchased at Rooms To Go.

I helped a friend who had such a problem. After some troubleshooting, it turned out that there was a electrical disconnect inside the motor housing. I removed the end cap of the motor by removing about 6 screws and found the disconnect of two single pin flying connectors. Pushed the pins back together and it works now.

This may not be the problem in every case.

I have a corner couch, the lights on the front if it that controls the buttons for up and down is out I can see what to switch it to How do I replace the bulb

My electric recliner was making a clicking sound for a few weeks then my daughter had a sleep over and one child that came to visit was caught jumping all

over the sofa and reclining the sofa in and out now it only makes a loud hmmmmmm sound and won’t move in or out looked at all the electrics and they are all plugged in and the other end of the sofa still works so could it be the motor ??? Any help greatly received

TIA Caroline

Mine won't go out of the recliner position either. I almost KNOW mine is in the switch. The switch is on each end of the sofa and looks like a round hard piece of plastic. One side is up and the other side is down. Months or weeks after I got it it stopped working and you could slap the switch and it would work again. I live alone and it never gets used and I sort of forgot because it's worked for the last few years. It's 5 years old. My mom stayed over after I had surgery and she kept trying to push the feet down with her feet and I kept telling her she had to stop that or she was going to break it! She wouldn't use the switch but it wouldn't go down no matter how hard she'd push then she'd remember she had to use the button. This morning she woke and it wouldn't go down at all. The button is dead. There is no humming sound or anything. The motor isn't even trying to clothes it. I did get a slight move farther open! I thought maybe she got the mechanics in a bind, I tried to open every "joint" area to make sure it was in a good position to clothes. Nada! Slapping the switch doesn't work anymore. I'm a 56 year old widow. Do you think it would be worth it to pry off the switch? Would it be obvious enough to an untrained ignorant eye if there was a short or wires not connected or is it a complicated wiring system under there? I've don't things like repair a cut wire on a small appliance and installed a thermostat to the wall, but no complicated wiring or even anything as simple as install a light kit or ceiling fan. I think I could. I understand the concept of 3 wires, one being the ground wire and a hot and neutral wire. Green is ground, red is hot and it's black or something like that for the neutral. Or some such colors that's obvious what's what, right? Will the switch be that simple?

When one of my client's recliners acts up, I get on YouTube to watch a few of their videos on that specific brand of chair, and then attempt the repair, unplug the chair first.... https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+fix+recliner+chair+mechanism (the bane of the caregiver, recliners)

Check the batteries before you call anybody.

My Recliner Chair Tension Springs and pull handle not working the i am able to fix it myself I got more help from chairsadvisor.com which provide helpful tips on it. I think you can fix your electric recliner sofa DIY. Just following some steps.

My grandson was larking around on one side of the sofa recliner - kept pressing the buttons open and close until the chair was fully extended out - then it wouldn't go back - seemed the power was dead. Checked the fuse and that was fine. Checked the internet and found this thread - got depressed - no way could I tip this sofa on its end. The unit must be about 10 years old so probably no spare parts available and concerned about the cost of an electrician. After reading all this thread, I went back to the sofa and just gave the buttons a hard thump with my fist - hey presto - all working again - phew.

Hey im 14 and I’ve been fidgeting messing with the button when I’m bored I put some wd 40 on the hinges and stuff the lights green I just did something and don’t know what to do

Hello! I have HomCom massage recliner ( these one) and i also had that problem. @ Sharon thank you! You helped me

My massage is stuck in the on position

My recliner is stuck in up position. I am trying to locate the pin as suggested by users to bring it back to upright position. Please help? Mine; every push of button made it go up but refused to work with the other button until it was completely open. I used another switch from amazon and checked both sides. the new switch works on the other side. So I know it is not the switch. I was able to unscrew so it is now in sit (upright condition ). It moved slightly after that in up direction and reached the edge. So the conclusion is mine moves in 1 direction. Some folks here mentioned some pin but I am not able to locate the pin. I got the recline in 2014 from rooms-to-go and they don't have any info (after hours on the phone). I was able to get the motor part number "Okin Refined-R Model: JLDQ-11 JLDQ 11.156.333D". Need to know anything I need to do to troubleshoot before I go get the part.

Please help...

Thanks,

Manuel

My recliner/lift chair is stuck on lift, all other message heat, amenities work. Please help.

Hey Jeff.

do you have a video on this process you listed regarding removing motor and getting the chair in an up right position

I had a stuck electric recliner also. I took off the 4 bolts that fastened the arms to the motor. It is a very nice push back recliner now. If I want, the heat and vibrate still work.

Hello, hope this helps you out,

This recently happened with my recliner the foot rest was stuck in an upright position. Hubby manually closed it. Good luck getting a replacement motor our furniture store where we bought the recliner just wanted us to buy a new one (and this one was only a few years old).

I had the same issue with my recliner a while back! I found that pressing the recline button a few times while gently pushing the footrest down helped. If that doesn’t work, check for any obstructions or try reaching out to customer service. It might need a professional fix.

Ugh, that’s frustrating! I had a similar issue with my recliner a while back. Try checking the power connections and replacing the remote batteries if you haven’t already. Sometimes it’s just a simple fix. If that doesn’t work, it might be worth having a look at the motor and wiring, but be careful if you go that route. If you’re not up for that, calling a technician might be your best bet.

Or call in the Chair manufacturer Service man to soet it for you. Probably Best!
