5 Common Massage Chair Problems and How To Deal With Them
When you purchased your Osaki massage chair it came with a manufacturer's warranty of 3 or 5 years. So most repairs (even replacement if needed) will be covered. Let's break down the most common problems, starting with why your Osaki massage chair may not turn on:
Power Connection Issue
There are 2 main power connection issues that happen with massage chairs: Breaker (switch) issue, a power cord issue. If the massage chair is plugged into the wall outlet and is not working, the first thing we should do is check the breaker switch to make sure things didn't flip.
Some homes (especially older homes don't have good power distribution so a massage chair (or any electronic equipment) can flip the breaker. If the breaker isn't switched off, the next thing we need to do is make sure the power cord is all the way plugged into the chair at the base.
Sometimes during the install on some models or after moving the chair the cord can come lose. This is an easy fix if it does occur. If this doesn't fix the problem, the next issue can be the cause.
Blown Fuse
Osaki massage chairs have a fuse close to the reset button where the power cord plugs in. This fuse is an extra line of defense if there is a power surge. If the chair isn't turning on, it's good to pull out the fuse and identify if it's blown or not.
Good news if the fuse is blown Osaki models come with an additional fuse in the packaging. This is an easy fix. If you have any questions on how to replace the fuse just simply consult the user manual.
Why You May Need To Reset a Massage Chair
The 3rd common issue that happens with massage chairs is they need a reset. These days, massage chairs are more like a cell phone or computer than a regular piece of furniture. Massage chairs are just like cell phones in that sometimes they just need to be restarted. Resetting the massage chair usually takes a few minutes. Consulting the manual will show you how to reset your particular model.
Incorrect Installation
Sometimes after your massage chair is set-up, you will notice an error code (like 68 - meaning the footrest is incorrectly installed). Newer massage chairs will help make you aware of the exact issue and how to fix it. If you are unsure, you can solve this issue by contacting Osaki support and they will walk you through the process.
Pinched Massage Chair Hose
Another common issue is an air hose getting pinched or torn when moving or during installation. You will notice airbags not inflating the proper amount or a leaking air sound when changing settings. Good news is air hoses are usually simple fixes you can do yourself. All you need to do is contact customer support with your SR account number and they can send you a replacement hose. After you replace the hose line, it's always good to do a factory reset so the chair can recalibrate itself.
Massage Repairs That Need Servicing
If the problem persists or the massage chair is making noise that doesn't seem normal, it's best to consult with a customer service representative to get the problem diagnosed. Osaki has a professional approach to diagnosing any concern you have with your massage chair. Here is how the process works:
