I have a Schwinn 825 treadmill. When I press the start button the unit counts down but the belt does not start to move then the digital display gives an E1 error code. If I turn the unit off and then on again it will work just fine. I'm just worried one of these times turning it on then off won't work. What should I do?

If it's a older unit check the on off switch. Make sure the terminals are not burnt

follow this steps and fix it. Merry Christmas
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.
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.
Reset:
Unplug the treadmill. Locate the console key and place the safety or reset key into the treadmill console. Replace any parts that need replacing, or is large enough to trigger with a pencil eraser or Q-tip. Plug the treadmill plug back into the wall. Use the Q-tip to press the reset button. It may be necessary to hold the reset button down for a few seconds. "CL11" will appear in the display of the treadmill.

Press the reset button one more time with the Q-tip. "CL21" should appear on the screen. Press the enter key. The display will change again and show "CL22." Keep pressing the enter key until the numbers cycle through to the number "CL26." Press enter one more time. The letter E should appear on the display screen.

Press enter twice more. The letters "SS" should appear on the screen. When this happens, press the start/stop key. Making sure to keep well away from the tread, press enter to start the treadmill. The treadmill will start on its own. The treadmill will stop on its own after a few seconds. When it stops, press the power key two times. Remove the safety key and put in a safe place. Your treadmill is reset.move on to the next step.

Locate the reset switch on the underside of the treadmill console. Usually the button

The cause of this problem is because your powerboad need big power (Amp) to turn the motor (and the belt) This usually happens if your treadmill belt is not lubricate well or needs change. So, first try to lubricate your treadmill belt with silicone oil and be sure that treadmill deck is clean. If the problem continues you must change your treadmill belt.

please see the video and lube the rollers bearing front+back too
2) Run the software calibration for easy diagnostic with sensor speed.and fix it.

Dear Sir:
1) You must LUBE the Deck Belt, in according with the instruction manual. The deck maybe is worn.
2) See if the deck belt is in bad condition.
3) Test the drive belt if o.k
4) Test the main motor if running, if not the motor need attention and repair.
5)Test the input voltage for motor coming from the main motor BOARD.
see my personal TIPS for HELP.

sincerely. God bless you

Hi Jill, have you found a solution yet as I seem to be getting a sililar error. Do you get a E02 message and a beep. Thanks Nicky
