A power recliner stops mid-glide and suddenly a $2,000 chair is a very heavy paperweight. Berne Appliance Repair services motorized and manual reclining furniture — recliners, power sofas, lift chairs, and motion sectionals — across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. Same-day appointments most days, a flat $59 diagnostic applied to the repair, and a 4.79-star record across 871 reviews. We troubleshoot the motor, actuator, power supply, hand control, and the mechanical linkage as one system, repair what is broken, and quote it in writing first.
Brands we service
We work on the motion-furniture brands homeowners own: La-Z-Boy, Ashley, Flexsteel, Southern Motion, Catnapper, Lane, Berkline, Franklin, Pride and Golden lift chairs, plus the OEM motor and actuator systems behind them — Okin, Limoss, Dewert, Kaidi, Changzhou, and Timotion. Leather and fabric, single recliners and multi-seat power sofas.
Common recliner problems — symptom, cause & fix
Recliner will not move at all
Most often a failed power supply (transformer brick), an unplugged or chewed-through cable, or a dead hand control. We test the supply output and the harness before touching the motor — a $45 transformer is a very different repair from a $180 actuator.
Motor hums but the chair does not move
A stripped actuator gearset, a snapped lift rod, or a seized scissor mechanism binding the drive. We pull the actuator, check the gear and clutch, and replace the failed unit or free the linkage.
Chair moves one direction only / stops partway
A failing actuator on a dual-motor chair, a worn limit switch, or a control board that has lost one channel. We isolate which motor or switch dropped out and restore full travel.
Hand control or buttons dead / intermittent
Cracked control, broken connector pins, or a chafed ribbon cable in the seat. Often the cheapest fix on the list — we test and replace the control or its harness.
Loud clunk, grinding, or the frame racks side to side
Worn cables, a bent mechanism, loose bolts, or a cracked weld in the reclining frame. We tighten, re-cable, and reinforce the mechanism so it tracks straight and quiet again.
Lift chair will not raise (mobility chairs)
A failed actuator, a dead backup battery, or a tripped overload. We restore safe lift function and verify the battery backup actually works for power-outage use.

What can we do for you?
Dryer repair

Washer not draining, not spinning, or stopping mid-cycle? Front-loaders and stacked condo units are daily work for our 18 technicians.
Drum bearings, pumps and shock-absorber kits for Samsung, LG and Whirlpool ride on the truck — most washer repairs close on the first visit, backed by a 90-day warranty.
Microwave repair

Refrigerators, wine coolers, ice-machines repairs

We recently had Berne Appliance Repair service our fridge. The technician was great and did an amazing job defrosting and cleaning the internal parts of the fridge. It's working like brand new!
I would recommend then to anyone that needs appliance repairs.
