Where Can I Take My Lazyboy Recliner for Repair?

Lazyboy recliners are known for their comfort, durability, and long-lasting design. However, like any piece of furniture, even a high-quality recliner can develop problems over time. Frequent use, aging parts, accidental damage, or poor maintenance can all lead to issues that affect how your recliner looks or functions.

In some cases, you may have just purchased a brand new Lazyboy recliner and noticed a defect or quality issue. In other situations, you may have bought a second-hand recliner and later discovered that it needs repairs or replacement parts. No matter how the problem started, the good news is that you have several options when it comes to getting your Lazyboy recliner repaired.

If you are wondering where to bring your Lazyboy recliner for repair, here are the best options to consider.

1. Bring it back to the store where you bought it

If you purchased a brand new Lazyboy recliner, your chair may still be covered by warranty. If the problem is caused by a manufacturing defect or another issue that was not the result of misuse, the best first step is to contact the store where you bought it. Many furniture retailers will inspect the recliner and determine whether the damage qualifies for repair, replacement, or warranty service.

In most cases, you will need to provide proof of purchase, such as your official receipt or invoice. It is also helpful to locate the Lazyboy identification tag on your recliner, which is usually found underneath or at the back of the unit. This tag includes important product details that help the store identify your recliner model and the correct replacement parts.

Before transporting the chair, call the store and ask about their repair process. Some dealers may offer pickup service, in-home inspection, or repair scheduling, while others may require you to bring the recliner to their location.

2. Take it to a Lazyboy authorized dealer near you

If the original store is too far away, no longer operating, or unable to assist, your next best choice is a Lazyboy authorized dealer near you. Authorized dealers are familiar with Lazyboy recliner models, repair procedures, and replacement parts. They are often the most reliable option for both warranty and non-warranty repairs.

Whether your recliner has a broken handle, damaged cable, worn cushioning, reclining mechanism issue, or power function problem, an authorized dealer may be able to inspect it and recommend the best repair solution. They may also have access to genuine Lazyboy replacement parts, which can make a big difference in quality and fit.

To find an authorized Lazyboy dealer, check the official Lazyboy website and search for locations in your area. This is often the safest option if you want your recliner repaired by professionals who understand the brand.

3. Contact a local furniture repairman or repair center

If your warranty has expired and you are looking for a more affordable option, a local furniture repairman or repair center may be able to help. This is often a practical choice for common recliner issues such as broken release handles, faulty cables, worn upholstery, sagging padding, loose springs, or damaged footrests.

However, not every furniture repair technician has experience with recliners, so it is important to ask questions before committing. Try to find someone who has repaired reclining chairs before, especially Lazyboy recliners or similar models. You should also ask whether they can source replacement parts if needed.

Getting a quote ahead of time can help you compare prices and decide whether local repair is more cost-effective than using an authorized dealer or replacing the recliner entirely.

4. Try DIY recliner repair

If the damage is minor and you are comfortable using basic tools, you may be able to repair your Lazyboy recliner yourself. DIY recliner repair is often a good option for simple problems such as a broken cable, damaged handle, loose bolts, or misaligned mechanism.

Here are the steps you need to follow to DIY repair your Lazyboy recliner:

• Carefully flip the recliner over so you can inspect the underside.
• Identify the broken or worn part that needs to be replaced.
• Determine what type of cable release or mechanism your recliner uses.
• If the cable is broken, unhook it and pull it out of the housing.
• Measure the cable and check what kind of mounts or brackets it uses.
• Order a replacement cable or part with matching size and features.
• Install the new cable by routing it the same way as the old one.
• Replace the old bracket or mounting hardware if necessary.
• Test the recliner several times to make sure the mechanism works properly.
• Once the chair opens and closes smoothly, your recliner is ready to use again.

Always use caution when attempting DIY recliner repair. If you own a power recliner, make sure it is unplugged before starting any work. If the repair seems too complicated, calling a professional is the safer option.

Common Lazyboy recliner problems that may need repair

Some of the most common Lazyboy recliner problems include:

Broken reclining handle
• Snapped or stretched release cable
Footrest not opening or closing properly
• Recliner stuck in one position
Sagging seat cushion or worn padding
Torn upholstery or damaged leather
Loose springs or unstable frame
Power recliner motor or remote control issues

Identifying the exact problem early can help you choose the right repair option and prevent further damage.

How much does recliner repair cost?

The average cost to repair a recliner is usually between $200 and $300, but the final price depends on the type of damage, replacement parts needed, and labor rates in your area. Minor repairs such as replacing a cable, handle, or small hardware may cost less than $100. More serious repairs involving upholstery, padding, structural damage, or electrical components can cost much more.

Power recliner repair may be more expensive because it can involve motors, switches, transformers, or remote controls. Leather or premium fabric upholstery repairs may also increase the overall cost.

Before approving any repair work, ask for a written estimate so you can compare the cost of repair versus replacement.

Do you need to transport the recliner yourself?

In many cases, yes. Most repair centers and furniture technicians require the customer to bring in the recliner. However, some Lazyboy dealers and local repair shops may offer pickup, delivery, or in-home repair service for an extra fee. Be sure to ask about transportation costs before booking the repair.

Final thoughts

Minor damage and occasional repairs are sometimes unavoidable, even with a well-made Lazyboy recliner. The good news is that you have several repair options, whether your chair is still under warranty, needs professional service, or can be fixed at home with a simple DIY repair.

The best way to avoid costly repairs is through proper care and regular maintenance. Cleaning your recliner, checking moving parts, and fixing small problems early can help extend the life of your chair and keep it comfortable for years.

    I need to find out how to repair the cushion of our Lazy Boy Sofa. The lever to raise the lower half of the sofa seat is located between the sofa seat and the inside of the sofa. Over time the lever to the mechanism that raises the lower part of the sofa has worn a hole in the fabric on the side of the cushion. I can repair it by hand if I can just get to it. Can we remove the cushion & seat somehow???

    My dad purchased two recliners several years ago. Both chairs no longer recline correctly. On one recliner, my dad has to rock it forwards and backwards to get it to sit up. The other recliner is in worse shape. He was told at the time of purchase that both recliners had a life time warranty. How do I get the repair process started?
