How do I eliminate a very bad squeak in a Schwinn Elliptical 430

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!

I solved the problem by the following: take all the joints apart and grease with white lithium grease. Don't put them back together too tight! Don't take the little rollers apart; they're too hard to get back together. Just spray the whole area with silicone spray. Here's the real fix: our flywheel cover (and i guess the whole flywheel assembly) was loose. Take the half dollar-size black cover off the center of the flywheel. Tighten the nut inside. You need a socket wrench; you can't do it with the multi-wrench provided. The 'Cruiser' is much queter now! Good Luck, David

sounds like the sensor is loose or bad.I have the same schwinn 430 elliptical and my speed stayed at zero and after a couple minutes it would shut down.i called schwinn bowflex and they sent me a new sensor ($2.00)since my warranty expired and i installed it(not fun) and thats what fixed it. im back to working out.

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.
