Top Recliner Repair related questions
Most of the time, recliners only need one component replaced for them to work again, which is usually much more affordable than buying a new recliner.
The cable is the part that’s most prone to breakage. It can become dislodged or the handle can become damaged through daily wear and tear. Thankfully, this part can be easily fixed and replaced.
There are no required qualifications for most recliner repair tasks. However, if the repair includes electrical work, you’ll need to hire a qualified electrician.
The average cost of recliner repair on Airtasker usually costs between $77-$120. But you could pay more or less depending on the type of repairs, the number of chairs, and the total time needed to complete the job.

What does a recliner repair service include?
Reclining chair repair involves a number of different tasks, depending on the chair’s style and problems. Your handyman will assess your recliner and recommend a solution that will restore it to working order. Here are the most common repair services (aside from upholstery repair):
Cable check/replacement
The cable is a wire that activates the reclining mechanism. It’s normally the first part of the recliner chair to break down or malfunction. Your handyman will first flip the recliner onto its front and release the locks that hold the back of the chair in place. Then they’ll open up the recliner and check the cable, which sits on the inside wall of the chair. This cable is put back into the correct position if it’s been dislodged. In some cases, the cable may need to be replaced entirely. If this happens, your repairer will dislodge the cable hook, separate it from the clips, and remove the screws from the handle to remove the entire cable mechanism. They’ll place new cable through the hole and screw it into place, feeding the cable wire through the same clips and putting the hook back into position.
Reclining mechanism
If the reclining mechanism is damaged, your handyman may recommend replacing the mechanism. To do this, they'll first flip the recliner onto its front and release the locks that hold the back of the chair in place. Then they’ll flip the chair completely upside down and remove the bolts that hold the reclining mechanism to the rail system. This gives your handyman access to the inside of the recliner chair. Next, they’ll remove the cable and bolts that hold the reclining mechanism to the footrest before securing a new reclining mechanism.
Electric recliner repair
First, your chair repairer will connect the transformer and power cord and flip the chair over to check that all the chords are connected to the motor that powers the recline. Most of the time, electric recliners stop working because a plug has become loose. If it still doesn’t work, your handyman will check all the wires and repaired them if damaged. To repair the wires, your handyman will strip them of insulation. They’ll use a soldering iron to reconnect exposed wires and protect them using a heat shrink. Alternatively, if you need your motor replaced, your handyman will disconnect the old one and reconnect a new one in its place.

I have a 2 seat King Cloud Recliner, older model. On one seat the footrest is not responding to the touch button (although headrest working normally). The other seat works intermittently - it’s working at the moment but the footrest extends at a slight angle so the footrests don’t align completely when both extended. The 2 seats also need magnets refitted to connect them together again. I would prefer this to be done today or tomorrow

Need someone who knows La-Z-Boy lift chairs to come to Melbourne and put this chair back together. Second-hand La-Z-Boy Rialto Lux leather lift recliner, about 10 years old (2013 to 2018 dual-motor luxury lift). Removalists had the back falling off on delivery. Left bracket jumped off the post. Right side was still locked, so the back sat crooked. Already done Whole backrest is off. Both metal brackets on the wooden back frame are loose and swivel. One is missing the top screw. The other is missing the bottom screw. One particle board hole is stripped. Need done 1. Screw both brackets solid top and bottom so they cannot pivot. Pack the stripped hole if needed. 2. Fit the back on both posts and lock both levers so it sits square. 3. Test the lift function once the back is on. Remote Need a 5-button La-Z-Boy TiMotion handset. Part TH1-1012-001 or TH1-A000-001. Must be 8-pin, not 5-pin. If you have one, price it separately. If not I will buy one from Sofa Rehab (106 dollars) for you to plug in. Do not buy a cheap 2-button 5-pin remote. When Available all weekend and weekday evenings. Please quote call-out and labour, whether you have the remote, and earliest time you can come. Photos available.

Electric Recliner Repair Needed Hi, I’m looking for someone who can repair the electrical mechanism of this recliner sofa. The power is working, and one side of the sofa opens and closes normally, but the right-hand seat is not working. It seems to be an electrical/mechanical problem with that side only. If you have experience repairing electric recliner sofas, please contact me with your availability and price. Thank you! 😊
