Einleitung

Many people can remember having experienced the times when their recliner decided that it doesn't want to work. They may have a recliner that does not recline at all or gets stuck in a reclined position and won't go back to the normal upright position. This guide is needed to help those who wish to save some time and money and perform the repair themselves. This replacement guide may require the assistance of another in order to maneuver the recliner into different positions to access the work area.

What is the most common problem when the recliner switch only works once and awhile? I took it all apart like you suggested but it still wont work. Is the switch on the side of the chair the most likely problem? How much does it cost to order a new switch from Steelcase?

Check the cables to the switch under the chair and make sure they are not frayed, and make sure it's plugged into the motor.

My electric recliner quit working. As I plugged the cord into the power supply it sparks. I ordered a new power supply box and it sparks also. What could be the problem?
