Is your lift chair stuck in the reclined position, refusing to stand up, or ignoring the hand control? A lift chair that stops working can quickly turn a comfortable day into a stressful and unsafe one, especially for seniors and people recovering from surgery. At ACG Medical Supply, we help Texas families get their equipment working again, and we want to share a few tips to help you through it.
Quick checks before you call
Common causes of lift chair problems
Most issues come from a hand control that stops responding, a motor that fails to run, a transformer problem, a faulty junction box, or a worn lift mechanism. In some cases, the scissor mechanism or frame needs to be replaced.
When to get professional help
If the quick checks do not solve the problem, professional lift chair repair is the safest and fastest option. Our factory-trained technicians serve Plano, Rowlett, Bedford, and the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area, and we repair chairs no matter where they were purchased. We usually keep hand controls and transformers in stock, so many repairs are finished quickly. When a manufacturer-specific part is needed, we order genuine OEM parts to help protect your warranty.
What to expect

Quick checks before you call
- Make sure the chair is plugged firmly into a working wall outlet.
- Check that the cord at the transformer is seated tightly.
- Look for a loose, frayed, or pinched hand control cable.
- Listen for a humming motor sound, which helps a technician diagnose the problem.
