We lost ours in a move too! It plugs in near the bottom/front on the R side of wheel cover. What are the specifications of thr replacement? How many volts output, etc? Thanks

Plug a known good appliance into the new outlet and verify power. Then verify all connections to eliptical.

What's better than finding the solution to your problem 8 years after you need it?

So I have the same eliptical, model EV455. Same problem with the screen just saying ERR.

For me I fixed it by unplugging the adapter from the wall for 30 seconds. Not just the power connexion at the eliptical: the power bricks needs to be unplugged for 30 seconds.

I believe the capacitors in the AC adapter are garbage and the eliptical detect something weird with the voltage or current. Unplugging the AC adapter allows to discharge the capacitor and after that it worked for me.

Might just need a new power adapter :)

Error 1 on a schwinn is a generic electrical error. Check your ac adapter and make sure you're getting the proper voltage off of it. Typically an error 1 warrants a replacement of either the ac adapter, the wire harness (wires that connect the power to the console) or the console itself. If the console has batteries, change those first, then check your adapter. If the problem persists, you're looking at a more in depth problem that will require taking the casing off the machine and individually testing each component of the machine. It's usually worth at that point to pay a tech to look at the machine for you.

I have the same problem and took mine apart. There is a steel cable running from the resistance controller servo to the magnetic brake assembly and inside the assembly two more that attach to the brake shoes. In my case both of the small inside cables broke but if the main outside cable or any part along that chain broke it would have the same effect. I've emailed about replacements. Take care if you open this beast. It's a bugger. Take lots of snaps along the way sow you can see how it goes back together.

On the back of the console, there is a place to switch from kilometers to miles. It's just a black little switch, labeled with miles or kilom.

I was having the same problem as my owner's manual has been misplaced as a result of several moves and I found this online. Hope it helps.
