What kind of cord/plug do I need for my electric recliner…?
I was given a nice electric recliner lift chair that has a massager and heat. Also, the foot stool is electric so I can’t recline. There is a cord coming from the back that looks like a cord for cable for your TV only it has 3 small hole in it where another cord should be plugged into it and then plugged into the wall. I checked under the chair and apparently this chair is from Art Van Furniture. I tried to go to their website several times and i can’t get on the website (site down? it shows that I have a connection problem but i don’t). If you have any info on where i might be able to find a cord, I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Art Van does not get very high marks from most people. I would say you need the other cord to make this chair work. I couldn’t get to their web site either. The link shows a phone # and a street address. Keep after them until you find out what part you need.
I also have a recliner with a built in massager. I’ve had the same problem you had. I’ve discovered that the cord can actually vary from recliner to recliner and manufacturer to manufacturer. Tip it onto it’s back and on the bottom there should be a manufacturers name with their contact info and the recliners model number. Get the model number and then contact the manufacturer for a replacement cord.
Do you think you can find them in e-bay? Maybe Craigs List? You can always go to http://www.freecycle.com and request a specific one and maybe your local people may have one and offer to give you one of theirs?
talk to an electrian or someone who knows wiring and see if they can rewire your chair to a normal plug that you can plug into the wall. that might be all it needs sometimes the manufacture does things to make it hard to use anything but their parts. just look at it as customizing it to your needs as it is your chair.
