Stannah 420 problem
Hi, my grandad has a Stannah 420 stairlift which he has owned for 8 years and it was a reconditioned one when he got it. The stairlift will go up no problem but it will not come back down. We replaced the switch which is positioned in the left hand arm rest as we thought it might have just worn out, it worked for about a week and has now stopped again. It will work on the 2 hand remotes but not from the chair. My husband is quite handy at electrical work, when he bypassed the switch and linked the wires directly it did work, but having said that he did test the switch and doesn’t appear to be anything wrong with it, he did a resistance test on the switch and it worked in all settings. My grandad is 98 and cannot afford to get an engineer out so was hoping somebody could help us to try and get it working, it would be easier for him just to use the switch on the arm and we are worried that if he relied on the remotes that he will use the arm switch to go up but then leaves the remote downstairs and he wont be able to get back down. Don’t know if anybody has come across this before, thanks
