Get a Polar heart rate sensor. More reliable and the screen will read it.

Those darned chest straps tend to go through batteries. Hopefully, yours has a replaceable battery. If it does, it should have a round area with a coin slot in it. You should be able to take a quarter and unscrew it. Inside there is probably a CR2032 battery - about the size of a quarter. Put a new one in
making sure you have the polarity correct. Then, if you are a man, who has a lot of chest hair, you might need to shave some of it off where the chest band pick-ups (on either side of the battery case) for a good contact on the skin. A good skin connection is necessary. They even make a special di-electric gel to facilitate a good heart beat reading. If you are a woman - especially an older woman - and your mammary glands (it won't let me use the B word) aren't the pert, young kind - you might need to work the strap up as far under them as possible to get it placed just above the solar plexus.

I have even heard of some people wearing the chest strap turned around so the contacts are on the back. This won't usually work unless a body is thin, though.

I would suggest swapping the consoles to see if the problem follows. If this does not help you figure it out, you are more than likely looking at a wiring issue.

I would suggest removing your heart rate grips and inspecting the contact leads for rust or any other corrosion. This is very commonly an issue and can be resolved by either cleaning the contacts or simply replacing the parts. Using the following link, and your serial number, you should be able to find the contact grips if you end up needing them.
