Thomas Payne Theater Recliner

Besides the inverter going out on the trip last week, DW said her half of the recliner does not work. No lights on the arm rest. I could not diagnose the problem until we got back home. So yesterday I got my multi-meter and some other tools and started my investigation. I noticed that when I flipped the recliners forward I heard something rattling in plastic. If you have ever looked underneath these thing you will notice a 4" by 4" black plastic box. On one end there is a power supply. On the opposite side the are 4 connection ports. Ours uses 2 of these connection. One for the motor and the other for the armrest selector. I took the black box out there was a very loud rattle inside. I got the offending element to come out of a large hole on the box. It seems that a coil has come loose from the circuit board. To verify that this was the problem, I moved the black box from the other side and all worked. So I emailed Lippert about getting a replacement box. Hopefully they will come through with a solution.
