Left-Hand 4 Button Dual-Motor Arm Switch – Kaidi KDH049-302(L)
Restore full motion control to your dual-motor recliner with this genuine Kaidi KDH049-302(L) spare part. The compact 62mm square housing slips into a 54mm round cut-out inside the arm, leaving only four chrome 15mm buttons visible for a clean finish. Each pair of buttons operates one actuator: front/rear for the foot-rest, top/bottom for the head-rest.
Need the Right-Hand Version?
You’re viewing the KDH049-302(L) switch, designed for the left-hand arm (inside face closest to the seat).
If your recliner’s control panel is on the right arm, choose the mirror-image KDH048-301(R) version (click here) instead.

- Disconnect & De-energise
Unplug the recliner from the wall and wait 2 minutes for the transformer to discharge. - Create a Safe Work Area
Clear a space and lay down a blanket to protect upholstery.
Team-lift the chair (weights can exceed 40 kg); lift only by the frame. - Take a Reference Photo
Snap a quick picture of the wiring and plug routing before touching anything. - Disconnect the Wiring
• Plain 5-pin DIN → foot-rest actuator.
• Red-band 5-pin DIN → head-rest actuator.
Release any cable ties. - Remove the Arm Carcass
Tip the chair so the left arm faces upward.
Undo the frame screws/bolts and lift the arm away. - Expose the Switch Housing
Peel back upholstery and foam until the black 62 mm housing and its four screws are visible. - Remove the Old Switch
Unscrew the four chrome metal caps (counter-clockwise).
Remove the four mounting screws (keep for size reference).
Withdraw the switch through the 54 mm cut-out. - Install the New Switch
Feed the new harness through the cut-out first.
Orient the buttons correctly (front = foot-rest ▲, rear = foot-rest ▼, top = head-rest ▲, bottom = head-rest ▼).
Secure with four self-tapping screws (3.5 mm × 16 mm, not supplied).
Re-fit the chrome caps finger-tight. - Reconnect the Plugs
Route the harness as per your photo.
Plug the red-band DIN into the head-rest motor and the plain DIN into the foot-rest motor until they click. - Re-dress Upholstery
Press foam back, clear fibres from button wells, and ease fabric/leather over the four caps without tearing. - Re-assemble & Test
Bolt the arm back onto the frame, return the chair upright with help, and reconnect power.

FAQs
FAQs
How can I tell if I need the left-hand (KDH049-302 L) or right-hand (KDH049-301 R) switch?
Look at the arm where the buttons sit. If the control panel is on the inside face of the left arm (nearest the seat cushion when you’re sitting down), you need the KDH049-302 (L). If it’s on the inside face of the right arm, choose the KDH049-301 (R) instead.
Will this switch work in my recliner if it isn’t a Nick Scali model?
Yes—so long as your chair uses Kaidi’s 5-pin DIN signal system for a dual-motor set-up. Many Australian and NZ brands (and plenty overseas) source their motion furniture from the same Kaidi factories. Match the two 5-pin plugs and you’re good to go.
Are the mounting screws supplied?
No. The switch ships exactly as pictured; you’ll re-use your original four screws or supply new #6 (3.5 mm) self-tappers about 16 mm long. The bezel and fixing holes line up with the standard Kaidi template.
Do I really have to strip the arm upholstery to change the switch?
In most cases, yes. The housing is buried under foam and fabric, so you’ll need to peel back the padding far enough to reach the four screws. Allow about an hour and follow our step-by-step guide—no specialist tools beyond a basic upholstery tools, screwdriver and pliers.
My old switch has only two buttons (or a USB port); can I swap in this four-button model?
Only if your chair already has two separate motors waiting to be controlled. A single-motor chair won’t accept a 4-button panel. If you need a 2-button Kaidi unit or a version with USB charging, check our full range of arm switches or ask us for help finding the exact replacement.
