Installation Instructions – Mulin MLSK25-A Switch
Safety first: Disconnect the recliner from mains power and the transformer before starting, and use two people to tilt or lift heavy furniture safely. Take a clear photo of the existing switch and cable routing so you can replicate it later.
- Unplug the chair completely.
Remove the wall plug and disconnect the transformer lead so there is no live voltage in the system. - Tip the recliner onto its side.
With a helper, tilt the chair onto a protected surface to expose the underside of the arm. Support it securely so it cannot roll or fall. - Photograph the old switch and wiring.
Take a clear picture of the existing switch location, cable route and 5-pin plug position. This will be your reference for reassembly. - Remove the faulty switch.
Flick the Chrome facia off, loosen the two screws and slide the old switch out through the upholstery. Gently pull the cable free. - Route the new cable.
Feed the 1510 mm lead of the MLSK25-A along the same path as the original, avoiding sharp metal edges and moving parts. Replace any cable clips or add zip-ties for strain relief. - Seat the new switch in the panel cut-out.
Align the chrome fascia in the 52 mm × 35 mm cut-out, press it flush, then hand-tighten the two screws until the switch is snug but not distorted. Push the replacement facia into position until you hear a click. - Connect the 5-pin DIN plug.
Insert the plug fully into the actuator socket or junction box, matching the keyway so the pins are not bent. - Return the chair to its normal position.
Lift or roll the recliner back upright with help, ensuring cables are clear of the mechanism. - Restore power and test.
Reconnect the transformer and wall plug. Press the upper button for “feet-up” and the lower button for “feet-down” to confirm smooth operation. - Tidy up.
Secure any loose wiring with cable ties, dispose of the faulty switch responsibly, and keep your reference photo for future maintenance.
Tip: If the switch feels reversed because it is fitted to the opposite arm, simply rotate it 180 ° before tightening the retaining nuts.

FAQs
FAQs
Will this switch fit my recliner?
If your chair uses a two-button side switch with a 5-pin round DIN plug and the cut-out in the arm measures close to 52 mm × 35 mm, the MLSK25-A is a direct drop-in. Snap a photo of your old part and send it to us if you’re unsure.
What does the 1510 mm cable length cover?
The lead runs from the back of the switch housing to the shoulder of the DIN plug, long enough for standard arm-to-motor routing on most single-seat recliners. For extra-wide lounges or unusual layouts, we stock DIN extension leads.
Can I install it myself without special tools?
Yes. You need only a screwdriver to remove the old retaining screws and a helper to tilt the recliner safely. The new switch secures with hand-tightened screws; the DIN plug is plug-and-play.
Is the chrome finish durable?
The faceplate is ABS with a chrome coating designed for furniture use. It resists everyday wear and cleans with a damp, non-abrasive cloth—avoid harsh solvents to keep the shine.
What if the buttons work in reverse?
The switch is symmetrical. If “up” and “down” feel swapped after installation, simply rotate the unit 180 ° in the cut-out and retighten the scrws—no rewiring required.
