Is your reclining lounge chair not working? Is your footstool not working / not rising up? I had this same problem, but I was able to fix my lounge chair. My video shows a simple way to fix your recliner if the plastic lever has broken. I repaired this plastic lever with a few spare items that were lying around in my garage.

Luckily for me, the used couch I just bought for $50, with the issue of 'one side doesn't recline' was just made whole again thanks to your video's help. Granted I didn't fix mine, but I found if you simply cut that cord and pull it out the side, and pull it whenever you wanna recline, it still functions fundamentally the same way.

Thanks for the clip it has given me hope😂 The plastic lever part on mine has just snapped off It's the same as yours shown in this video so I'm hoping I can replace this whole part I'm gutted It was made in Malaysia 😖 I'm in uk. Fingers crossed

Thanks, gonna try this! Mom got a used lounge chair and it was working fine when we tried it, but once home pulling the handle didn’t generate enough power, you had to help the foot stool with your hand just so little.

Hi there, I've also snapped the plastic handle part and looking to get the replacement online. My questions is do I need to purchase the handle with the cable connected or is it straight forward to join the existing cable onto the new handle? Thank you.

The spring that holds the footrest closed broke and fell off. I can't see where the spring is supposed to hook on. Please Help

I literally have the same sofa as you shown in this video...my issue is when I open it, as you stated "the big metal frame" is the part that hits/rubs the matal part that is connected to the metal floor frame

I have the same sofa too, my recliner is also broken as the one in the video, but I think it's not the only problem. because when I pull the wire it has no strength at all to stretch leg part, any ideas?

My plastic handle broke also. I just took the model and serial number off the tag beneath the footrest and called Lane and they sent me a new cable for free.

for recliner = electric one How to REPAIR when the 2 switch inside broken ? This is harder than physical mechanism, as my sofa couch got 2 side, one side electric, one side manual -- I almost never sit on the Manual side, too much foot work to bring it back to NORMAL

I fixed my mother in laws t year old lazy boy recently. I called lazy boy about ordering a handle, and since it was a genuine lazy boy chair, they seny me a new lever free.
