Common stairlift faults
Whilst we try to ensure every stairlift is in tip-top condition, factors such as time and wear can sometimes result in issues. Here we’ve compiled a few common stair lift problems and how to solve them if your stairlift is not working.
Top tips
- If you are home alone, we always recommend you carry a mobile phone to alert others if you need help
- Keep your local Stannah service branch or supplier number handy for emergencies
- It’s always a good idea to ask someone else to be around to help you troubleshoot
- If your stairlift stops on the stairs, it’s best to stay seated and see if you can restart it or summon assistance. If you have to get off, make sure you can do so safely, take it slowly and ideally, have someone help you
