Gas lift for bed does not compress: what to do

The new generation bed differs from its predecessor in its improved design and versatility, thanks to which it has gained great recognition and demand among consumers. The main feature of a folding bed is to save living space and create additional storage space for various household items. Currently, for ease of operation, the structure is equipped with a gas lift - a special lifting mechanism. The longevity and reliability of beds with lifts depends on proper operation, the rules of which are sometimes violated, which leads to some malfunctions in the mechanism. Other reasons, which depend on many factors, are also involved in the malfunction. But what to do in such a situation?

The gas lift on the bed does not compress: reasons

The main difficulty that users have to face is that the gas lift does not compress. Reasons for this problem include:

1. Insufficient weight of the structure.
2. Poor quality assembly and installation.
3. Lack of parts.
4. Poor quality of spare parts.
5. Incorrectly adjusted gas pressure.

It should be noted that ignoring any deviation in the operation of the mechanism can lead to its complete failure, therefore, at the first sign of a breakdown, it is necessary to inspect and repair the structure. You can deal with defects yourself, taking into account all the nuances.

Attention! When folding the bed, do not allow the elements to “jerk”; this will cause the elements to suffer.

How to repair it yourself

If the gas lift has stopped working and the mechanism needs to be repaired, to do this it is necessary to establish the true cause of the breakdown.

1. First of all, you need to pay attention to the weight of the structure, since with a small load the mechanism will not work. The spring is compressed in the structure only under full load conditions.
2. Elimination of errors made during the assembly process is carried out by dismantling the entire structure. Re-installation is carried out taking into account the correct selection (adjustment) of parts to each other.
3. The quality of the fittings influences the good functionality of the bed. Therefore, for gas lift installation, it is better to purchase spare parts from trusted manufacturers.

Important! When installing and repairing, you should use the manufacturer's instructions.

In order to make repairs yourself, certain skills and knowledge are required, the absence of which can lead to poor quality work. To ensure that basic repairs do not spontaneously become major repairs, you need to contact experienced craftsmen to do the repairs.

When to contact specialists

The help of specialists will be required to carry out more complex activities, which include adjusting the gas supply. This procedure will be needed if the raising and lowering of the bed occurs slowly and not completely. There is only one reason - excess or lack of gas pressure in the piston. Replacing a gas cartridge yourself is extremely difficult; the work requires certain qualifications and a set of necessary tools.
