Hello! The provided search results didn't offer specific instructions, but I can certainly give you a general guide on how to dismantle a power reclining sofa. It's a common task when you need to move one through a tight space.
First and most importantly, unplug the sofa from the wall outlet. Since it's a power recliner, you want to ensure there is no electricity running to it for safety. Once unplugged, gently tilt the sofa forward so you can access the back.
Look for a fabric flap at the bottom of the backrest, which is often held in place with velcro. Peel this flap up to expose the internal frame. On the metal mechanism on each side of a reclining section, you should find a release lever or clip. These are what lock the backrest onto the base of the sofa. You may need to use a flathead screwdriver or your fingers to flip these levers up. Once both levers are released, the backrest should slide straight up and off its mounting brackets.
After you've removed the backrests, you can separate the base sections. Tilt the sofa again to look at the bottom where the seats connect. They are typically held together by interlocking metal brackets. To separate them, you'll need a helper. Have one person hold one section steady while the other person lifts the adjacent section straight up to unhook the brackets. Be mindful of any wires connecting the sections and disconnect them if necessary. Following these steps should leave you with smaller, more manageable pieces to move.
