I have power, and the treads are not moving

The motor was damaged and needs to be replaced. Any and all moving parts under water can sustain damage to include rollers, guides, thrusters, metal gears, and other associated parts. Claim with the insurabce company if insured.

H 05 error

follow this steps and fix it. God bless you Error 5 Description The power up test sequence has detected a key in the operated condition. The power up test sequence is performed every time the unit is turned on (powered up). This test is performed because a permanently stuck key will inhibit the correct operation of the unit. Possible Causes 1. A key on the display housing is permanently stuck in the operated condition. 2. One of the upper PCA's keypad interface chips has failed. 3. Liquid (perhaps perspiration) is present on the surface of a touch sensitive display. Possible Remedies 1. Remove the keypad connector cable from the upper PCA. Restart the power up sequence, if the ERROR 5 is no longer present, the keypad is the cause. The keypad is typically part of the display housing. Replace the display housing to correct the problem. 2. Remove the keypad connector cable from the upper PCA. Restart the power up sequence, if the ERROR 5 is still present, the upper PCA is the cause. Replace the upper PCA to correct this problem. Most upper PCA's are provided without software. Therefore, the software (chip) must be removed from the upper PCA being replaced and re-installed on the replacement upper PCA. 3. Wipe the surface of the touch sensitive display clean of all liquid. Restart the power up sequence, if the

Stops 5-10 min into exercise; trips breaker,

Dear Sir:

Thank you by your request. I hope everything is o.k

Now I will try to help you.

You have electrical-mechanical Problem:

If you can walk on your treadmill but it shuts down during a workout, it is normally caused by a friction problem with the belt and deck.
Here are the most common symptoms and solutions:
Symptom: The treadmill operates for a given period of time and the circuit breaker on the treadmill trips causing you to have to reset the breaker, or let it cool off then reset the breaker. The
amount of time required to shut down will progressively get shorter.
Solution: The walking belt is worn. The incline test is the best test for it if you don't have a way to take a
DC amp draw. Put the treadmill at full incline and walk normally. If it takes it longer to shut off or does not
shut off at all, you need to replace the walking belt. Be sure to inspect the deck for wear too. If you want to
go for a cheap fix try lubricating the walking belt. The best fix is to replace the
walking belt and then regularly maintain it and keep the treadmill clean.

Symptom: The treadmill will show power but after a given period of time, the treadmill will simply shut
down. Once you let it cool off, you can restart it back up but it shuts down faster and the time required
before it shuts down gets progressively shorter.
Solution: Your treadmill is most likely equipped with a heat sensor which shuts down the motor and/or
electronics to prevent them from burning up. If this is the case, replace the walking belt. Be sure to inspect
the deck for wear too. If you want to go for a cheap fix (that we don't recommend) try lubricating the walking
belt. The best fix is to replace the walking belt and then regularly maintain it and keep the treadmill clean.

Symptom: The treadmill shuts down in an intermittent pattern...there is no rhyme or reason to when it will
shut down. I get an error code or nothing shows up on the panel. I have to either unplug the treadmill or
reset it to restart the treadmill.
Solution: If you get an error code, contact us with the code and make and model and we will try to help
you figure out what is going on. Typically we either find a loose wire, an intermittent short, a bad power
board, or a bad control panel in service calls that we do locally. Unplug your treadmill and then check all
your wiring to make sure nothing is pinched, crimped or loose. Remove and replace each connector in
case corrosion is causing the problem. If the problem persists, you most likely have a bad control panel or
some call it a console.

Thank you in advance, sincerely. God bless you.

If you need additional Help , please contact me.

Bowflex tc20 won't go above speed 1

RUN the software calibration for easy diagnotic, troubleshooting, and fix it. God bless youProceed with this steps.

The Steps for Newer Style Console Calibration:

  1. Locate the calibration area on the rear or underside of the console (a hole, near the console's center, that goes through to the electronics board. (This hole should not have a screw in it.)

  2. Insert a pencil (eraser end), into the hole and feel around for the cal button (will click when pressed).

  3. Press the button 2 times (with the pencil eraser). The first click should show CL11 in the console, the second click should show CL21.

  4. If the process was done correctly, and CL21 appears in the console, you are in "calibration mode." The next few steps consists of pressing buttons on the console and observing settings. This will not require any other tools.

  5. Press ENTER. CL22 should display in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.

  6. Press ENTER. CL23 should display in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.

  7. Press ENTER. CL24 should display in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.

  8. Press ENTER. CL25 should display in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.

  9. Press ENTER. CL26 should display in the TIME window. You should then see the letter "E."

  10. Press ENTER. You should see "SS" or "55" in the console.

  11. Push the STOP/START button. For safety, at this point, you should step off, or be off, the treadmill.

  12. Push the ENTER button. The walking belt should start to move, accelerate to maximum speed, then stop on its own.

  13. When the belt stops, the incline should self test by raising to its highest incline position, then lowering back down to its lowest position.

  14. Once the incline test is complete, push the POWER button 2 times. The unit should shut off and the console should go completely blank. If this happens, the treadmill is done calibrating and is ready for use.

  15. If the letter "F" appears in the SPEED or INCLINE window when the power button is pressed 2 times, the treadmill is indicating a failure somewhere either in the SPEED or INCLINE (depending on the window the "F" appeared in). Troubleshooting the failure would be the next step.
