Common Riser Recliner Problems and How to Fix Them
Riser recliners (or rise and recline chairs, as they’re sometimes known) are a popular independent living aid among our Wirral customers. They are available in a wide variety of designs and upholstery, with models available to suit every type of home décor as well as your particular comfort needs.
While all of our riser recliners are built to the highest quality by some of the biggest and most respected names in the industry, even the best products can get damaged over many years of use. In this article, we’re going to look at some of the most common issues that might affect your rise and recline chair and what you can do about them.
Chair Stuck in Position
Occasionally, an electric riser recliner chair can get stuck in either the closed or open position. This is usually the result of two or more parts of the opening mechanism jamming together and locking into place. The good news is that this can usually be fixed by loosening or lubricating the parts in question.
Recliner motor not working
Electric riser recliner chairs use an internal motor to lift and turn the chair into position. If the motor fails, it is usually a mechanical fault, requiring experience with these parts to repair properly. Our specialist repair team will need to remove the motor so that they can identify the issue and repair or replace any damaged parts.
Damaged Remotes or Cables
If you’re using your recliner remote daily, it’s possible you can wear it out. Issues include jammed buttons, loose cables, or dislodged circuitry. While these are easy to repair, it’s best to leave the job to a trained professional. Jammed buttons may just be sticky, and cleaning with hot, soapy water on a cloth can resolve the issue.
