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

[@DIYtimeTech]

Excellent!

[@kortneewhitlock1870]

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.

[@queenv2782]

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

[@DIYtimeTech]

Awesome!

[@seunakins4358]

Same here. Thank u for sharing

[@gregd2020]

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!

[@DIYtimeTech]

Good job! 👍🏼

[@patriciaoliver5344]

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

[@freddydee270]

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

[@karenlong6764]

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

[@martakosacheva1249]

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.

[@karenlong6764]

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.

[@jamesw7624]

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

[@carmenglaister1317]

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

[@v펭귄v]

Thanks to you, I was able to solve the problem. Thank you. I'll cheer for your channel to go well.

[@starthebest807]

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

[@nehalshah3260]

Very good advice. Was able to fix my sofa

[@MissTopDJ007]

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.

[@btorres7587]

Haven’t tried yet but just by the comments I look forward to doing this tonight. Awesome video ! These are the type of fixes I was looking for !

[@madkatshop]

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

[@DIYtimeTech]

Yes, it should.

[@dalesdipstick]

Using your video I have established it is the switch on the side which is faulty I’ve now got to work out how to remove it! Thank you for a great video very much appreciated and Christmas greetings from England! 👍👍

[@madkatshop]

@ there usually is a cover on them - like twist and turn. Underneath should be two screws. Unplug the motor first from the power before you do anything 😉

[@DIYtimeTech]

Merry Christmas! 🎁

[@jshippey]

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!

[@keithdrummond7132]

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?

[@gabrielacataldo9282]

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

[@adam-to5re]

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

[@nmatteis1]

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

[@pozole559]

I have one bothe side of the recliners not working there two outlets in the middle and they work what can it be pls help

[@arunsb1975]

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.

[@chenjx83]

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

[@cedricgrant7282]

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

[@bsoria7980]

[@nehalshah3260]

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

[@phteven5459]

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

[@DIYtimeTech]

Yeah, I was very lucky with mine, it worked out pretty well.

[@mariaramon1981]

I have an L shape recliner the side that looks is cut is from the right side that has the console but my problem is turning it over to check the adapters and replace

[@DIYtimeTech]

😬Yeah! There might be a way to separate it. But still may require lifting it...

[@mariaramon1981]

@@DIYtimeTech Thank you

[@paulgarner5069]

Hi My reclining sofa on the left side got snagged on the wires, when lifting it up and now is stuck with the feet lifted up, theres 4 wires bunched together, black, white, green and yellow could you tell me which ones go to what thanks

[@avahburns354]

Thank you so much this was so helpful!!!

[@DIYtimeTech]

Glad to hear that!!!

[@irvinghernandez1997]

Finally a realistic fix 😅

[@user-cjmbabya]

Hi - my recliner went bang and red flash while recliner being opened now no power. Fuse changed and still nothing. Help

[@user-cjmbabya]

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.

[@kelleysimpson463]

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]

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