Recliner Repairs is your step-by-step resource for diagnosing and fixing the issues that keep great chairs from feeling great. We start with smart troubleshooting: identify symptoms (stuck footrest, uneven recline, squeaks, leans, no power, drift) and map them to likely causes in manual and power models. Each guide lists tools, safety prep, and time estimates, then walks you through disassembly, inspection points, and reassembly with alignment checks.
Common mechanical fixes include replacing release handles, cables, and pull rings; adjusting or swapping pawls, ratchets, and scissor/linkage arms; retensioning or replacing footrest and back springs; tightening frame fasteners; and restoring rocker/glider or swivel bases. For power recliners, we cover power-path testing (outlet, transformer, inline fuse), motor and actuator checks, control box resets, hand-wand diagnostics, USB modules, and resolving heat/massage failures. Upholstery and comfort repairs address sagging cushions (foam density upgrades, webbing/seat spring refresh), seam reinforcement, and noise reduction with targeted lubrication and felt isolation pads.
You’ll get compatibility tips, part numbers, and trusted sources for OEM and aftermarket components, plus quick decision trees to tell repair from replace. We include warranty and safety notes throughout, and “call-a-pro” flags for structural cracks, live-electrical damage, or lift-chair faults. Fix it right, extend lifespan, and restore day-one comfort.
