Repairing a recliner Handle can vary depending on the type of recliner and the specific problem with the handle.
Here are some general steps you can follow to troubleshoot and repair a recliner handle:
Tools and materials required:
Screwdriver (flat head or Phillips head, depending on your recliner)
Pliers
Replace parts (if necessary)
Lubricant (such as WD-40 or silicone spray)
Steps to repair a recliner handle:
Identify the problem:
Determine if the handle is damaged, stuck, or if the mechanism is stuck. Check if the handle is loose or the cable is disconnected.
Check the handle:
Inspect the handle itself for any visible damage. If it is cracked or broken, it may need to be replaced.
Inspection Mechanism:
Remove any fabric or covering around the handles to gain access to the mechanism. This may require unscrewing or unfastening components of the recliner.
Tighten any loose screws:
If the handle is loose, check to see if there are any screws that need tightening. Use a screwdriver to tighten any loose screws.
Reconnect the cables:
If the handle is connected to a cable that controls the recliner, make sure the cable is properly connected. If the cable is loose, reconnect it according to the design of the mechanism.
Lubricate moving parts:
If the handle or mechanism is stuck, apply lubricant to the moving parts. This will help release the stuck part.
Replace the handle:
If the handle is damaged and needs to be replaced, purchase a new handle that matches your recliner model. Unscrew and remove the old handle, then install the new handle according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Reassemble the recliner:
After the handle is repaired or replaced, reassemble all disassembled parts. Make sure all parts are securely fastened.
Testing the recliner:
Test the recliner’s smooth operation by pulling the handle. Make sure the recliner tilts smoothly and returns to its upright position.
Other tips:
If you are unsure of the specific parts your recliner requires, consult the manufacturer’s manual or website for guidance.
If the problem persists after trying these fixes, consider contacting a professional for help.
