Official Akai vhs players & vcrs parts

Akai VHS players set the standard for excellence in video cassette tape playback. You'll enjoy clear video and rich sound when playing video cassette tapes on your Akai VHS player. When your Akai VHS player isn't performing as it should, find the replacement parts you need to fix the problem at Sears PartsDirect.

Cleaning the video cassette tape heads on your Akai VHS player

  • You'll need to clean the video cassette tape heads inside your VHS player when video or sound playback deteriorates and tracking adjustments don't fix the problem.
  • Gather the cleaning supplies. You'll need pure isopropyl alcohol, cleaning swabs and a fine-woven, lint-free cloth.
  • Eject the video cassette tape if you have one loaded in the VHS player then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet to disconnect electrical power from the VHS player.
  • Moisten swabs in isopropyl alcohol and carefully wipe the rollers, guides and pins in the tape path.
  • Gently wipe the audio and erase heads with a swab moistened in isopropyl alcohol.
  • Wet the lint-free cloth in isopropyl alcohol and carefully and gently wipe the drum assembly.
  • Reassemble the VHS player and plug in the power cord to restore power.

Top replacement parts for Akai VHS players

  • Door flap. The door flap hinges open to allow a video cassette tape to slide into the deck assembly when you insert the tape. The door flap hinges shut to cover the video cassette tape opening when the tape is full inserted. The flap opens to allow the tape to eject then hinges shut after the video cassette tape is ejected and pulled out of the VHS player.
  • Fuse. The fuse blows when an electrical short circuit in the VHS player cause too much electrical current to flow through the power cord to metal inside the VHS player cabinet to protect you from electrical shock.
  • Remote control. The remote control uses RF (radio frequency) signals to communicate operational commands and setting to the VHS player from a remote location.
  • Electronic control board. The electronic control board powers components inside the VHS player, processes video and audio signals from the tape heads and controls display functions in the VHS player.
