Description

MLZB020-D1(A) Electric Recliner Cup Holder Controller with Silicone Touch Buttons

Replace your faulty recliner cup holder control unit with this genuine Mulin MLZB020-D1(A) model, designed for armrest installation in electric recliner chairs, sofas and theatre lounges. This multifunction unit combines a cup holder with an integrated touch control panel, allowing you to operate footrest, headrest and lighting functions from one convenient location.

This version features silicone touch buttons, offering a softer and more responsive feel compared to the standard MLZB020-D1 variant, while maintaining the same functionality and layout.

Note this is not compatible with MLZB020 (click here) or MLB020-B1 (click here) we sell these also.

* This cup holder is not suitable for use in the USA and Canada.

Match Your Model Number Exactly – MLZB020-D1(A)

This is a model-specific replacement part and is not universal. To ensure compatibility, you must check the label on the underside of your existing unit and confirm it matches:
Model: MLZB020-D1(A)
Variant: 1.5M-L
Input: DC 29V
Output: 12V 1.5A

Even though other models in the MLZB020 range may look identical, they have different internal wiring and plug configurations and are not interchangeable. If your model number does not match exactly, this unit will not be suitable.

Plug & Connection Configuration

This replacement unit is supplied with the correct wiring configuration to match the MLZB020-D1(A):
1 x Male 5 pin round DIN plug (main control connection)
1 x Female 5 pin semi-circle plug for lighting system (with retaining clasp)
Supplied with control box for full operation

Please ensure your existing plugs match these connections before ordering.

7 LED Colours with Linking Capability

This cup holder features 7 selectable LED lighting colours to suit your setup. To change the colour, simply press and hold the light button to cycle through the available options.

The lighting system can be used:

As a standalone unit, or
Linked to other compatible cup holders and LED light bars

When connected, the lighting will synchronise so all linked components change colours together, ideal for theatre lounges and multi-seat setups.

How To

How To

How To Install the MLZB020-D1(A) Recliner Cup Holder Controller

Before starting, switch off the power at the wall and disconnect your recliner from the power supply. If your furniture is heavy, use safe lifting techniques and get help from another person before tilting or moving it. We also recommend taking a clear before photo of the existing cup holder, plugs, wire routing and screw positions so you have a handy reference during reassembly.

Step 1. Remove the cup insert and any inner trim pieces so you can access the mounting screws underneath.

Step 2. Carefully move or tilt the furniture as needed to gain safe access to the underside of the armrest. Avoid straining your back and do not lift heavy furniture on your own.

Step 3. Undo the mounting screws that secure the existing cup holder controller in place. Keep the screws aside somewhere safe.

Step 4. Gently lift the old unit upward from the armrest opening and locate the electrical connections underneath.

Step 5. Disconnect the plugs from the old unit, including the male 5 pin round DIN connection and the lighting system plug. Take note of how the wiring is routed and clipped into place.

Step 6. Compare the old and new parts side by side. Confirm the model number matches MLZB020-D1(A) and check that the plugs and layout are the same before continuing.

Step 7. Connect the new unit’s plugs, ensuring each connection is fully seated and any retaining clasp is properly secured.

Step 8. Lower the new cup holder controller into the armrest opening and align it correctly in the frame hole.

Step 9. Reinstall the mounting screws and tighten them evenly until the unit is secure. Do not overtighten.

Step 10. Refit the cup insert or trim pieces, reconnect the power supply, and test the footrest, headrest and lighting functions to make sure everything operates correctly.

If you are unsure at any stage, contact us for help before forcing plugs or reinstalling the part.

First time dealing with this company. The replacement part was well priced, does the job perfectly and arrived without fuss in what I would consider to be short time given current delivery issues in general. No hesitation to give this company further business if the need arises.

We needed to replace a cracked cup holder and buttons on our electric recliner. We reached out to a repair company who quoted $485. I couldn't believe it... so hit the net to see if I could find the part and low and behold I found it on Sofa Rehab for $85. The description said it was easy to do, so with the massive saving on offer I thought I had nothing to loose. Sofa Rehab was spot on, it was easy and only took 10min!

This was probably the most helpful company I have dealt with in a long time. My email was answered immediately. Txt messages followed asking for more info. They asked for pics of where we thought the problem was. They were spot on with what the problem was.
