Sole F85 Console Issues

Zone8992Zone8992
in Treadmill Problems
A couple of months ago, pressing the Fan button caused the belt to jerk to a stop as if the emergency cord was pulled. It happens with or without someone on it, so I stopped using the fan. Today I pressed the start button and the entire display when blank and just flickered and finally came on. I started walking and the display blanked out and flickered & the belt jerked to a stop. I was finally able to finish my workout but it feels like the issues are escalating.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    The first thing I would check it to make sure all the wire connections are tight. Specifically, the main harness at the motor controller all the way up to the console.

    Just checked and everything is tight. Thank you

    intermittent issues are really hard to diagnose. Try this, start the machine and try moving the connections to see if you can reproduce the problem.

    Quick follow up - I spoke to Sole, Treadmill Doctor & a local repair company today. They all think the console or the display board is going bad. And as neither is available I'm looking at having to purchase a new treadmill. Thank you KevinC for the assist.

    I do have one other option. Check out this link.
    It's called the Treadmill Rescue Kit. Once you check out the video give me a call if you'd like more info. 888-362-1105 x 330. it's most likely less expensive than you would have paid for a replacement console.
