Hello, I own a Schwinn Elliptical 430 which I keep outside, covered with a tarp, since 2011. It's been fine till now, the "Enter" button isn't responding so basically I can't use it because I can't move on to enter any parameters... The first thing it asks it to select a program and since I can't hit "enter" after selecting one, I can't move forward. And "Enter Program" keeps blinking and doesn't let me even hit "Quick Start". Is there a way to repair this?

Hi I'm Ryan, do you know where it is squeeking from? if you can find the squeek try 3 in 1 oil that should stop it.

SOURCE: The console does not work. E-2 shows up on the console.

We had this problem after assembly as well, it turned out to be a bent pin inside the connector to the flywheel housing (where the wires connect inside the lower part of the main mast). It was so bent that it never actually made contact with the connector.

We straightened the pin, carefully reconnected the wires, and everything worked just fine.

This says to us that the "E-2" error message means the console is missing at least one connection from the system. This could be caused by a bent pin, a torn/cut/frayed wire, etc -- anything that might make it lose signal.

So check the lower connection for bent pins, check the upper connection for bent pins, and check all along the wires for any kind of damage.

Hope this helps!

Hello there. Unfortunatley there is no way other than removing the crank arms. You do need to remove the nut on the axle and you will need a crank puller. The puller is available at any local bicycle shop for around 10-15 dollars.
Good Luck Tim

I think I am experiencing the same problem and have removed the shrouds. Are you experiencing a clicking sound while the unit is plugged in? All of this seems to deal with the servo motor. Don't be fooled by suggestions to replace the rpm sensor...this is NOT the problem. I am trying to find out what the initial setting for the servo motor and the tension cable should be. I found a site where you can order the servo motor, but it tells me that it could be months to receive this part. Sigh...

It should be at the bottom of the machine in the front facing away from you if you are on it.
