E2 error and no resistance
Clean the servo motor's potentiometer with 'tuner cleaner'. Remove the shroud on the 'passenger side' (it's a bit tricky, but not difficult). The potentiometer is a part of the black plastic servo motor assembly that adjusts the band of magnets (the magnets that create drag on the flywheel). The potentiometer measures the angle of the small pulley that tugs on the cable that moves the magnets. As often happens, potentiometers get dirty. In my case, the machine behaved intermittently, sometimes displaying the E2 error code. Cleaning the potentiometer solved the problem. Time will tell whether it's a permanent fix, but it certainly makes sense. If a potentiometer gives the 'brain' a bad signal, the brain won't know what to do. If you're not familiar with a potentiometer, it's a dial, like the volume control dial on your stereo. As you rotate the dial, it raises or lowers the electrical resistance, which the electronic circuitry can detect. In a stereo, it can control the volume. In the Elliptical, it tells the brain the location of the resistance magnets (how close to the flywheel, and thus how much resistance). It's a tight squeeze getting the can of tuner cleaner spray in there. Hope this helps.

Hello, I own a Schwinn Elliptical 430 which I keep
HI, Its probably because of the enter switch is not activating. Its contacts gone bad. There will be push switch behind the enter pad that you see from the top. you have to replace this by opening the Console, Display. if you are able to do the same please let me know .Or just remove the Console, Display and take it to the nearest electronic rearing shop. They can do it very easily. and it will not cost a lot too.Ajin

While using the elliptical there is a persistent
I just fixed the problem on my 430. Somewhere on this forum someone suggested that the dollar size cover on each side of the flywheel cover be removed and the bolt tightened. You will need a socket wrench. It took less than 5 minuted and whamo. Problem solved. Thanks to the individual with that input. Good luck

Eliptical is showing E2
E2 Error Code - As researched here, I found a problem with the electrical wiring to the motor, dc module (P/N 000-8453}. I checked the plug connection for bent pins and bad continuity in the circuit. Okay. What I found was bad connections at what I will call the stepper motor that is located on the module. This motor adjusts the location of the Magnet Pack Assembly in relation to the Flywheel to change workout resistance. The terminals where the wires are soldered to the motor are of a riveted type of connection. By removing the resistence adjusting cable lock nut, threaded end and the cable, I was able to cycle the pulley back into operating range by plugging in and unplugging the power cable multiple times. Each time that I would plug the power in, the pulley would rotate a couple of degrees in the clockwise direction. Then, reattaching the cable assembly, and applying pressure to the stepper motor terminals, the unit would time and orient itself properly when powered up with No Error. To remedy the problem, I applied a little solder using a soldering iron to the riveted type connections making them a Better, soldered connection. I hope this helps.

My Schwinn 431 Elliptical rpm sensor is not
I took a magnet from a magnetix toy and secured it to the correct side of the flywheel. It's working now...I just finshed doing it. Hopefully it'll continue working. Thanks for pointing out the magnet was on the wrong side.

The computer on my schwin 418 eliptical does not
Call Schwinn customer service (actually Nautilus) at 1-800-nautilus if it is broken so you can order a new one or they will send you a new one if you are under warranty. They are very helpful. You can also check the power connection on the bottom or make sure the wire harness in the main pipe in the center is properly connected if the system is brand new and not working.

Schwinn 431 Elliptical doesn't register rpm's, distance, etc.
I have this same problem and called the customer service. The problem is that the rpm sensor is not working. It could be the sensor or something else. They had me check the connections first for the wiring harness at the top and middle and then sent me parts to work on the inside where I have my problem. I am still working on mine because the magnet was installed on the wrong side of the flywheel. Hope you don't have this issue.
