Thank you 1000 times, I have exactly the same issue you had. I bought a brand new twin recliner just 2yrs ago without extended warranty and a month ago it just stopped working. I searched online everywhere without any result while my wife is getting angrier then I found your video.
I just ordered the new switch unit. Thank you very much. Now I have happy wife at least until something else goes bad.

Mate, your video helped me locate the faulty circuit and isolate it and get the recliner going again. The hint re the power supply light was the key, thanks 😊

The real take away from this video is learning that if the light is off, it’s connected to something bad.
Learning that, I started to just simply disconnect one connector at a time underneath the couch. I finally came to a connector that powered a small LED assembly, and the green light came on. Telling me that after making that disconnect, the power pack was no longer connected to something bad. I now have two fully functioning couches, minus their LED displays. I call it a win. Thank you.

Thank you so much! After many videos I watched and after reconsidering on selling my couches, you saved me a few more years on these bad boys. I had to sacrifice my led lights on the couch and my cup holders but that is nothing to me without being able to relax on my couch. So quick and easy to fix. Thanks again! ❤ You are God sent!

Thank you so much! Your thought process helped me isolate the led lights on my cup holders as the issue. I can live without those and am so happy to have my reclining back!

[escalade]

Thanks for this video. I traced my problem to the lights on the bottom of the chair and the lights on my cup holders, I disconnected both of them and know I’m laid back once again.

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this video. I have those same sofas. I bought the part but I found an exact match to what I have I swapped it and now is working again. Thank you so much. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

I have an Ashley Party Time Recliner and let me tell you that your video was a Godsend in more ways than one. My sofa recliner was dead except for the center usb and plugs. I have two of the exact same sofa, so at first I switched the power plug and it still didnt work. By chance and luck I left the old one plugged in and noticed the light was illuminated. So I watched your video and immediately unplugged all connections and started slowly plugging in each connection until I got to the wire that leads to the led cup holder and buttons...I plugged in and it shot a spark and the led light went off...BINGO....well come to find out that the led cupholder is the cause of the entire couch mechanism to shut down. I did a search for my model and low and behold their is an active recall on my particular sofa recliner for the led cupholder where it was causing fires. I wanted to say thank you for your video in helping me isolate a fire hazard for me and my family. I will be calling Ashley Monday for the recall and thankfully I have a fully functional couch now after I have removed the cupholder and chord until they are able to fix it. Kudos to your video!

Thanks a ton for making this video. I was able to buy the parts on Amazon and fix my couch. Thanks again !!!!

[trieshard]

Thank you so much, we had the same problem but now it's fixed!! Your video was so helpful, clear and concise. Had to laugh when you snipped the cable 😆 Thanks again.

[WatsonJackson]

Thank you for this video. My recliner stopped working after a cross-country move and I was able to trace the cord and fix the issue.

[KNMM]

this helped other people but my couch doesn’t have a wire and stuff. But still I want to thank you for your help for other people ❤

[bjcapo]

Thank you so much, I'm so happy I found your post. It was such an easy fix!

[paulashes]

Cannot thank you enough for this video. Had exact same issue bought replacement from Amazon and works perfectly. Top tip about tying wires together and pull through. 👏👏👏🪛🪛

[Jroc]

You're the man same issue was causing both recliners to not work because the power runs through the first switch thanks

[diegoauron]

Thank you very much! Glad I found your video. I was going to purchase a power adapter but it turns out it was just one of the connectors for the LED lights on my couch which I can live without!

[noemifitzpatrick]

Great info sir. Did you post the serial numbers yet? I’ll order on Amazon as I have same electrical issues on 3 year old recliner & tested the new adapter. Thank you.

[nancyniebling]

Love your program to fix my reclinder.❤

I have a theater style power recliner. I bought from the big Sandy furniture store five or six years ago.mine has the arm rest with the drink cupholders and the Concealed LED lighting the back part of the chair and the lower lumbar bar part of the chair, works however, the powered foot does not??? The main transformer outside of the chair that plugged into the wall developed frayed wires after a couple years and we wired that direct we found the polarity of the wires and wired direct and it worked great however within the last month and a half the footrest would stop working and if I tried to recline it with the back part several times and then pushed down with my feet. Most of the time it would start working again the other night the footrest stopped working again and I haven’t been able to get it going again, but the rest of the chair works. Where in the world can I get all these parts at? OK I would like to revise this I was about to give up on it I was getting ready to flip it back over and set it down on the floor as I had it sideways working on it and I just happen to notice a wire in the back of the chair on the frame all the way down on the floor and I traced it and it was the wire that goes to the motor/actuator for the foot rest and I shook that wire around a little bit and now the chair works the problem is I know I’m gonna have to do a more permanent fix and I don’t know how I’ll be able to get to that wire as it goes inside of the Metal square tube that the actuator rides back-and-forth on???for now it works I don’t know, , , thank God for that anyway because this close to Christmas I probably couldn’t have replaced it.
