Easy Steps to Reset a Motorized Recliner

Motorized recliners are becoming increasingly popular in furniture stores. It can be a great addition to any living room and is often seen as the lazy person’s dream come true.

However, there will eventually come a time when you have to reset them because something has gone wrong with the motor. This blog post will walk you through on easy steps to reset a motorized recliner!

 

Steps Reset a Motorized Recliner

Step 1. Turn off the power to your recliner.

Step 2. Look for the adjustment screws on either side of the base frame and unscrew them a few turns.

Step 3. Lift on both sides of the motor mount until it pops out from underneath each bracket (keep in mind, you might need some help with this).

Step 4. Once you have popped the motor out, unscrew and remove the screws from each side of it.

Step 5. Remove any loose wire connections on either end of the wires coming out of the bottom part of your recliner (sometimes there will be two sets). If not, then just pull gently on both ends until they come to lose easily.

Step 6. Attach the wires that are still connected on either end of your recliner. Push them back into place and screw each one in securely, then put all of the screws back onto each side of the motor mount to reattach it under both brackets.

Step 7. Turn on the power again. Now you should be able to lift and lean back in your recliner, fully.
