Electronic Troubleshooting

If you experience any problems with the electrical components of your bed (i.e. motors not working properly resulting in the head or foot decks not working, the entire bed not raising up or down, hand controller or staff controller not working, or control box not working) follow the procedures below to see if they can solve your problem. If you continue to have problems please call the Basic American customer service department at 800-365-2338. please have your bed’s serial number and/or model number available (located on your bed label on either side of the main frame below the decks). to determine if your bed is under warranty you will also need to provide the manufacturing date also located on the label.
