Notes

Massage chairs combine motors, airbags, and electronics, so failures often cluster in the drive mechanisms or control electronics. Repair is worthwhile when the chair is mid-life and the issue is limited to a pump, a single motor, or a controller.

Replace when multiple motors fail, the frame/track is worn, or intermittent electrical faults recur. The decision often tips toward replacement if comfort features degrade and major mechanical work is required.
