Thank you so much! After many videos I watched and after reconsidering on selling my couches, you saved me a few more years on these bad boys. I had to sacrifice my led lights on the couch and my cup holders but that is nothing to me without being able to relax on my couch. So quick and easy to fix. Thanks again! ❤ You are God sent!

Great!! So happy to hear you were able to fix it and get some more life out of the couches!!!

Thank you 1000 times, I have exactly the same issue you had. I bought a brand new twin recliner just 2yrs ago without extended warranty and a month ago it just stopped working. I searched online everywhere without any result while my wife is getting angrier then I found your video. I just ordered the new switch unit. Thank you very much. Now I have happy wife at least until something else goes bad.

Glad to hear it helped!! Yeah I too was frustrated trying to find a solution online. Kind of the reason why I decided to make the video so that others having the same problem may come across it and hopefully have the same issue/solution. Thanks for watching and commenting!

The real take away from this video is learning that if the light is off, it’s connected to something bad. Learning that, I started to just simply disconnect one connector at a time underneath the couch. I finally came to a connector that powered a small LED assembly, and the green light came on. Telling me that after making that disconnect, the power pack was no longer connected to something bad. I now have two fully functioning couches, minus their LED displays. I call it a win. Thank you.

I have an Ashley Party Time Recliner and let me tell you that your video was a Godsend in more ways than one. My sofa recliner was dead except for the center usb and plugs. I have two of the exact same sofa, so at first I switched the power plug and it still didnt work. By chance and luck I left the old one plugged in and noticed the light was illuminated. So I watched your video and immediately unplugged all connections and started slowly plugging in each connection until I got to the wire that leads to the led cup holder and buttons...I plugged in and it shot a spark and the led light went off...BINGO....well come to find out that the led cupholder is the cause of the entire couch mechanism to shut down. I did a search for my model and low and behold their is an active recall on my particular sofa recliner for the led cupholder where it was causing fires. I wanted to say thank you for your video in helping me isolate a fire hazard for me and my family. I will be calling Ashley Monday for the recall and thankfully I have a fully functional couch now after I have removed the cupholder and chord until they are able to fix it. Kudos to your video!

Thank you for taking the time to comment. It seems like many manufacturers use the same kind of setup and it's sad to see that this is such a problem that is not being addressed by them. Glad to hear you were able to figure out the issue!

@kaine7771 9 ай бұрын

I have the EXACT same issue as this individual. The party time couch just stopped working after exactly one year. I had no clue there was a recall on these couches nor did Ashley bother to mention this. I filed a claim and now I'm told someone will contact me within 2-4 weeks and to unplug the couch immediately. I've been sleeping on this thing with no clue I could've been burned to a crisp while doing so.

Glad to hear you were able to fix it. I fear many people (including myself) automatically think at first it's the motor. Seems to be most times it's the switch which is a nice easy/cheap fix. Happy to hear the video helped!

I also had a similar issue except I have the theater seating with LED lighting. I also bought a new plug but that was not the issue. I ended up disconnecting anything with the LED lights and connected one plug straight to the right recliner and the second new plug to the left recliner and they both work now. Something must have shorted within the LED lights that run under the sofa but not having them is no big deal. Hopes this helps someone else and thanks for the video.

We actually have the same furniture as you, the one that you unscrewed 4 screws with. It’s crazy, we barely used this one part of the sofa. I had only used the usb port, then I noticed my devices weren’t getting charged, then noticed the chair would not recline. The adapter plug, I thought blew out, because the green light was out. I ordered a new adapter, which solved the recliner issues but not the usb port! What was the plug you ordered for the usb port?

Ours just stopped working, but on our power supply the light remains on, but not working. Thought it was motors at first but there are two separate motors, one for recline and other is headrest and both stopped working, plus the USB port stopped working as well 😢

The furniture store just dropped my couch that has two recliners on either end. One stopped working yesterday. They are coming back to see what is wrong. My control has 4 buttons, no instructions, only one button seemed to move the chair back/forth, but this chair righted the chair all in one move pushing the middle button. Now no button will move it. No instructions????
