Power recliner, reclining sofa and sectional repair in your home, from Miami and Boca Raton to Tampa, Sarasota and Naples. A chair that is dead, hums without moving, will not close the footrest or works on one side of the sofa only. Motors, remotes, power supplies, cables and mechanisms. The $59 service call is credited to the repair you approve.

Most recliner calls start the same way. The chair worked last night, and this morning nothing happens when you press the button. On a power recliner that usually points to the cheap end of the system: the power supply brick, the cable under the seat or the hand control. The motor is rarely the first suspect. We test those parts in your living room, so an inexpensive power supply does not turn into a new motor. When the motor really has failed, we read the label on it and order that exact part.

From August to October 2026 our technicians finished twelve paid recliner repairs in Miami, Coral Gables, Doral, Miami Lakes, Miami Shores, North Miami Beach, Homestead, Hallandale Beach and Boca Raton. Refat B. and Cristian G. handled most of them.

Customers tell us their furniture came from Rooms To Go, City Furniture, Ashley, La-Z-Boy and Macy’s, and a few have Italian leather sofas with power seats. Leather or fabric changes little, because the repair happens under the seat: the motor, the wiring, the hand control and the steel mechanism.

Recliner problems we fix and what usually causes them

The chair is completely dead
Start with the boring parts: the outlet or power strip, the light on the power supply, the plug under the chair. Most dead chairs have a failed power supply, a cable crushed by the mechanism, or a dead hand control. If the chair quit during a thunderstorm, the power supply is the first suspect.
It has power but will not recline
Look under the footrest before calling. A shoe, a toy or a TV remote caught in the linkage stops the chair, and the motor keeps humming against it. With nothing jammed, the cause is usually a worn gear or drive nut inside the actuator, or a bent linkage arm. We pull the actuator and check it before ordering anything.
The footrest will not go down
One direction working and the other not is often a single bad button on the hand control. It can also be a limit switch inside the actuator, or one channel of the control box on a chair with two motors. We test the remote first, because it costs much less than a motor. On a manual recliner the same complaint usually means a snapped release cable or a broken spring.
One seat of the sofa works, the next one does not
Every power seat on a sofa or sectional has its own motor and button, often fed by one power supply through a splitter cable. When one seat quits, or two of the motions stop while the rest work, the cause is usually that seat’s cable, splitter or switch, not the whole system.
Stuck after the furniture was moved
Moving day is hard on power furniture. Plugs pull apart between sections, cables get pinched under the frame, and a chair that was tipped can open by itself and jam. We reconnect and re-route the wiring and check the mechanism for bent arms.
The dog chewed the cable
Three of the recliner calls we took since July started with a chewed cable. A chewed motor cable or power lead can also take the power supply with it, so we test the supply after replacing the cable and route the new one where a pet cannot reach it.
Remote or buttons work only sometimes
Bent pins in the plug, a cable pinched by the mechanism, or a failing board inside the remote. Remotes with USB, heat or massage buttons are matched to the chair model, and the plug (often a 5-pin or 8-pin round connector) has to match too, so we check both before replacing anything.
Grinding, clunking, a broken plastic arm, or the chair leans
Worn bushings, loose mechanism bolts, a cracked plastic bracket on the motor, or a cracked weld. Left alone, a loose mechanism bends the next part. We tighten and re-bush it, replace the bracket, and replace the side of the mechanism when the steel itself is damaged.

How we find the fault

A power recliner is a short chain: wall outlet, power supply, the cable under the chair, the hand control, and the actuator (the motor with a metal tube that moves the chair). Sofas and chairs with two motors add a control box between the remote and the motors. Most power recliners run on a 29-volt DC power supply with a small light on it. We test the chain in that order with a meter, which is why plenty of our recliner repairs end with a power supply, a cable or a remote and no motor at all.

When it is the actuator, the label decides everything. It shows the maker (Okin, Limoss, Dewert, Kaidi or Timotion), a part number and the stroke length. Two actuators that look identical can differ in stroke, mounting holes and plug, so we order by that label. If you can see it, text a photo of the label to (786) 435-0511 before the visit, and we will try to bring the right part the first time.

Lift chairs

A lift chair uses the same remotes, cables and power supplies, with a heavier motor that pushes the whole seat up and forward. It has its own page: lift chair repair, including what to do when the chair is stuck in the up position.

What recliner repair costs

Repair Typical total*
Service call and diagnosis (credited to the repair) $59
Power supply or main cable replaced $180 to $300
Hand control or remote replaced $180 to $330
Release cable, spring or mechanism repair $220 to $450
Actuator (motor) replaced, one motor $380 to $600
Two motors, or motor and control box $550 to $1,000+

*Parts and labor, in your home. You get the price in writing after the diagnosis, before we order or install anything. The $59 service call is credited toward any repair you approve.

For a reality check: half of the paid recliner jobs we finished between August and October 2026 came to $330–$550 in total.

Repair or replace?

Repair usually makes sense when the frame is solid and the failed part is a power supply, a remote, a cable or a single actuator. Those are standard parts, and the bill is a fraction of a new power recliner, which easily costs $1,000 to $2,000 from the brands above. Replacement starts to make more sense when the wooden frame is cracked, the steel mechanism is rusted through, or the chair uses a discontinued control box with no compatible part. We tell you which case you are in at the first visit, before you spend anything beyond the service call.

Where we repair recliners

Most of our recliner jobs so far were in South Florida: Miami, Coral Gables, Doral, Miami Lakes, Miami Shores, North Miami Beach, Homestead, Hallandale Beach, Boca Raton and Jupiter. See the county pages for Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.

The same repairs are booked on the Gulf Coast. In Tampa Bay that means Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Wesley Chapel. Further south we cover Sarasota, Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch, then Naples, Fort Myers, Cape Coral and Bonita Springs. Dispatch for every area works from our office in Hallandale Beach.

Frequently asked questions

Why did my power recliner suddenly stop working?
Most often the power supply has failed, a cable under the chair is unplugged or crushed, or the hand control has died. Check that the outlet works and that the light on the power supply is on. If the chair stopped during a storm, the power supply is the likely casualty.
How much does it cost to fix a power recliner?
The service call is $59 and is credited to the repair. Between August and October 2026 half of our paid recliner jobs came to $330–$550 in total. A power supply or a remote sits at the lower end, and a new motor or a control box at the top. You get a written price before any part is ordered.
Is it worth repairing a power recliner?
Usually yes, if the frame is solid. Power supplies, remotes, cables and actuators are replaceable parts, and the repair costs far less than a new chair. It stops being worth it when the frame is cracked, the mechanism is rusted through, or the control box is discontinued with no compatible replacement.
Can you replace the motor on my recliner?
Yes. We identify the actuator by the label on it (maker, part number and stroke length) and order the matching one. A motor that only looks the same may not fit the mounting holes or reach full travel.
Do you need the brand of the chair?
It helps, but the label on the motor helps more. Furniture brands buy motors and remotes from a handful of makers, so the label tells us exactly which part fits. A photo of the label and of the remote plug is the fastest way to get the right part.
Should I buy the part myself?
You can, but send us a photo of the label first. A motor or remote with the wrong plug or stroke will not fit, and the return policy on an opened part is worth checking before you buy.
How do I close a power recliner without power?
If the chair has a battery backup, put in fresh batteries (many use two 9-volt) and use the remote as usual. Without a backup, do not force the seat or footrest closed, since that bends the mechanism. Unplug the chair and call us.
Do you repair power reclining sofas and sectionals?
Yes. Each power seat has its own motor and button, so we find which seat, cable or splitter has failed and repair that seat, not the whole sofa.
Do you come to the house, or do I bring the chair in?
We come to you. Recliner repairs are done where the furniture stands, so nobody has to carry a heavy power sofa to a shop.
Which areas do you cover for recliner repair?
South Florida from Homestead up to Jupiter, Tampa Bay, Sarasota and Manatee, and the Naples and Fort Myers area. Call (754) 345-4515 with your ZIP code if you are not sure.
