How to fix IKEA bekant desk (one leg going slower or not moving)

[@Josephine_li]

Thanks!!! You just spared me 500 CHF!!! Thanks a million times!

This video helped me out. Thanks! My fix was a little bit different. The connection you mentioned was good on mine, but for some reason I needed to use a zip tie to pull the circuit board a bit tighter to the motor. I assume the internal connection was faulty. After using a zip tie around everything the unit works perfectly. But without your video I wouldn't have focused on that area.

This is exactly what was wrong with mine, thanks!

Wow great video. Our desk is still working but I’ll save this video link for the future!

My bekant becomes a little uneven when it goes up (right leg motor engages a little faster) and evens out when goes down. Any idea how to fix it?

[@kobayashimaru8114]

Curious why the faster leg has loose connection?

[@rebarius]

Thank you sooooooooooo much ❤️

When the table is going down the right legs is going faster at the beginning and it looks like table is bend a bit to the right side. Not sure it is they same problem. I turned I over ( legs in the air) and the right legs seams to get bit stucked if goes to the lowest position.

did you solve it?

Mine had the same problem, fixed, it, thanks.

I have to correct myself - after I tightened the contacts and re-assembled the table, it worked at first - but stopped working again shortly after (the legs are not moving at the same speed at first). I'm thinking due to the motors having a little wiggle room in there, the contacts might become loose again.

Hi. Curious... Do you know the TORQUE and RPM of this motor please?

[@rebarius]

But in which direction did you squeeze it?!?

[@VinceLymburn]

I have the same desk but it won't move. It's on its lowest setting and every time I press the up button the motors click but nothing happens

[@mehboobumt]

My desk can go down wards, but cannot go to up wards. Do you have a clue what could be wrong?

[@mehboobumt]

Solution in my case.. I pressed the down button until desk goes all the way down and that's it. Now up button is working fine too. Sounds strange, but just that was the solution in my case :)

[@FrankMcClung]

@@mehboobumt I can't say thank you enough for this. Ikea support is clueless.

[@kenz5481]

@@mehboobumt Thanks for sharing. My desk got fixed with exact same issue.

Many thanks! This video also shows how to reset the level of the desk without having to do it manually. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGqZq5xqjrWjbaM
