Solved: Replacement for the Discontinued eMoMo ICPTRWS Cup Holder Control Switch
Introduction:
Is your favorite power recliner stuck in one position because of a faulty cup holder control switch? You're not alone. If you've been searching for the eMoMo ICPTRWS control switch only to hit dead ends, we have some important news and, more importantly, a perfect solution.
The Problem: An Exclusive, Discontinued Part
The eMoMo ICPTRWS cup holder control switch is an exclusive model used in certain power recliner chairs. Unfortunately, our research and supplier network confirm that this specific switch has been discontinued and is extremely difficult to source new. We know how frustrating it is when a single small part prevents you from relaxing in your favorite chair.
While we cannot provide the original switch, we have a reliable and effective alternative that will get your recliner working again, often with even greater convenience.
Understanding Your Original Recliner System (The Wiring Diagram)
First, let's briefly understand how your current system is wired. This will make the solution clear.
Your recliner's system consists of:
-
ICPTRWS Control Switch: with a 7-pin plug.
-
Wire Harness: Has a 7-pin plug on one end (connects to the switch). The other end splits into:
-
One 5-pin male plug (for the footrest actuator/motor).
-
Two 2-pin female plugs (for the backrest and lumbar support actuators).
-
One 5-pin male plug (for the footrest actuator/motor).
-
Footrest Actuator/Motor: Has a 2-pin plug (for power) and a 5-pin plug (for control, connects to the harness).
-
Headrest Actuator/Motor: Has a 2-pin plug (connects to one of the 2-pin plugs on the harness).
-
Lumbar Support Actuator/Motor: Has a 2-pin plug (connects to the other 2-pin plug on the harness).
- Power Adapter (Wall Outlet): Connects to the 2-pin plug on the footrest actuator to provide power to the entire system.
The Solution: A Universal Handheld Remote Controller
The good news is that you can bypass the damaged and hard-to-find switch entirely. We recommend using a versatile 6-Button Handheld Remote Controller, a common standard for power recliners and lift chairs.
Recommended Product:
This remote is a direct functional replacement. It comes with three output plugs that can connect directly to your three motors/actuators, eliminating the need for the original complex harness.
How to Install the Alternative Remote Control:
The process is simpler than it sounds! You will be bypassing the original wire harness.
-
Disconnect Power: For safety, always unplug the recliner's power adapter from the wall outlet before starting.
-
Disconnect the Old Harness: Locate and unplug the original wire harness from all three actuators (footrest, headrest, and lumbar).
-
Connect the New Remote:
-
Take the new handheld remote controller.
-
Plug 1 (5-pin): Connect this directly to the 5-pin socket on your footrest actuator.
-
Plug 2 (2-pin): Connect this directly to the 2-pin socket on your backrest actuator.
-
Plug 3 (2-pin): Connect this directly to the 2-pin socket on your lumbar actuator.
-
Take the new handheld remote controller.
-
Power Connection: Finally, plug your recliner's power adapter directly into the 2-pin power socket on the footrest actuator.
- Test the System: Plug the power adapter back into the wall outlet. You should now be able to control each function of your recliner individually using the corresponding buttons on your new handheld remote.
Summary of Benefits:
-
Available Now: No more searching for a discontinued part.
-
Easy Installation: Direct plug-and-play connections; no complex wiring or splicing needed.
- Added Convenience: A handheld remote is often more convenient than reaching for a cup holder switch.
