Replacing Common iRest Massage Chair Parts

Replacing parts requires careful attention to detail and potentially specialized tools. Always consult your chair’s manual for specific instructions and diagrams. The following provides general guidance.

Replacing Roller Assemblies

To replace a roller assembly, first disconnect the power. Then, locate the access panel usually found on the underside or back of the chair. Remove the panel to expose the roller assembly. The assembly is typically secured by screws or clips. Carefully remove the old assembly and install the new one, ensuring proper alignment and secure fastening. Reconnect the power and test the functionality. Imagine the roller assembly as a complex set of gears and rollers; replacing it involves carefully disassembling the old one and precisely reassembling the new one in its place.

Replacing Motors

Replacing a motor is more complex and may require technical expertise. Begin by disconnecting the power. Locate the motor, often beneath the chair’s upholstery or within a specific housing. Disconnect the wiring harness from the motor and carefully remove any securing screws or fasteners. Install the new motor, ensuring that the wiring connections are identical to the previous setup. Double-check all connections before reconnecting the power and testing. This is analogous to replacing the engine of a car; precise wiring and alignment are critical.

Replacing Control Panels

Replacing a control panel is relatively straightforward. Disconnect the power. Usually, the control panel is secured by clips or screws on the front of the chair. Once detached, carefully disconnect the wiring harness from the back of the panel. Install the new control panel, making sure the wiring harness is reconnected precisely as before. Secure the panel and reconnect the power. This process is like replacing a light switch; simple but requires attention to proper connections.
