Question:
How do I determine if I have a Momentum recliner or a Seismic series recline in my RV. One side of the recliner does not work. It will massage and heat but not go up and down. I have a 2018 Bighorn by Heartland.

Expert Reply:
The best way to determine if you have the Momentum or Seismic Series recliner is to look at the buttons on the Cupholder. The Momentum series should have only 3 buttons on the cupholder for light, massage and heat. The Seismic series will have 5 buttons. Light, open, close, massage, and heat. I have included pictures of both below for your reference.
It sounds like yours does have all 5 functions on the cupholder controls, which would mean yours is the Seismic Series. If the the controls are not functioning, in most cases replacing the control box # LC36FR will fix the issue. This issue is actually not unheard of for these recliners. We also carry the replacement cupholder # LC38FR if you are in need.
