Nordic track a2050 contol console lights but controls do notvwork

Hi Kathy, yikes....does this constantly go up then down then up then down? There are a couple possibilities, 1) the upper console has gone goofy and is sending odd signals to the MCB, or motor control board, or 2) more likely, the MCB has a fault(s) causing the constant lift/decline. There is usually a protection circuit which allows ONLY one direction at a time with all lift assemblies to ensure the Up and Down windings are not energized at the same time, which would cause large amounts of smoke and a torched lift system, so it is possible that the MCB could cause this behavior. You can contact jatinah electronics and ask them, they can usually test your MCB for the cost of sending it there and back, and if a problem is found, they will advise you with repair costs which are 75 for this style of unit anyway. If they find no trouble, it zips right back to you verified good, for the cost of the shipping and time to send it in. No hidden gotchya's or fee's. Good Luck!

1) test the receptacle wall, plug a desklamp for to see if work if is working go
2( testing the power cord for open or defective.
3) reset the machine
4) test the fuse for blown and replace
5) test the c.breaker for tripped and reset again.
6) test the key, the key is small magnet, you can test with your magnet refrigerator with atraction or repulse, if doesnot replace the magnet from home depot.
God bless you

1) test the outlet wall , put a desklamp and see if work, if work the problem will be in the machine,
2) test the fuse inside for blown and replace with the same capacity
3) reset the circuit breaker inside.
4) test the power cord for open or defective.
Try again, if the machine NOT work, the problem will be in the power supply see the block atached.
God bless you

This sounds like a bad controller. If the machine is under warranty contact the warranty provider. The controller is not hard to replace if you are electrically inclined but it does require calibrating.

Does it close part-way? If so, it might be the same thing that happened to me. Make sure the incline is at zero. It will not close if the walkway is raised.

If that doesn't work, you might try disconnecting the incline motor screw (held in by a retaining pin and cotter pin), turning the screw one or two rotations and reconnecting it. I've had to do that in the past, but I'm sure it is not an approved solution.

Sounds like the actual function pad is causing the problem in some cases you'll be able to purchase that part and sometime with iconfitness you have to buy the entire console for a hefty amount you may call them @ 1-800-999-3756 or go to their website iconfitness.com. Good Luck

If the console lights up but the buttons don't work, then unfortunately it's probably the console and they're not repairable that I know of. You may want to check the wiring harness and the connections at the console and at the controller under the motor hood. Pull them apart and check for bent pins. If they look good, the console is most likely bad.

If console lights up but doesnt respond when buttons are pressed, you more than likely have a console problem. Key pad issue would be my best guess.
