Safety first: Clear the area beneath and above the desk; support loads securely. Unplug the AC plug before inspecting external motor leads. Never work under a moving frame or uncouple a loaded leg; collision detection may not operate during reset.
Model and version covered
For the original two-motor FlexiSpot E7. Confirm the exact handset button count, control-box label and local E7 manual; E7 Pro/Plus, overseas control boxes and revised handsets may use different messages or reset keys.
Version check: Handset and controller revisions can have different reset procedures and fault definitions.

01
Desk rises crookedly or one column stalls
HOW TO CHECK & CORRECT THIS CAUSE
- Stop operation immediately, clear trapped cords/furniture, disconnect power and seat both motor plugs correctly in their documented control-box sockets.
How to tell it is fixed: Both legs travel together after the correct controller reset.
02
One leg still cannot move with no obstruction
HOW TO CHECK & CORRECT THIS CAUSE
- Inspect the non-moving column for bent assembly or impact damage.
- Obtain exact compatible motor/lifting column after model identification, not a similar-looking E7 part.
How to tell it is fixed: Tabletop remains level while travelling slowly through a limited test.
03
Persistent asymmetric motion after repairs
HOW TO CHECK & CORRECT THIS CAUSE
- Do not force desk or keep raising one leg.
- Controller synchronization/feedback requires matched technician support.
How to tell it is fixed: Successful homing/reset and synchronized full travel.
