Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer - Page 3 Questions & Answers
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!
Eliptical is showing E2
E2 Error Code - As researched here, I found a problem with the electrical wiring to the motor, dc module (P/N 000-8453}. I checked the plug connection for bent pins and bad continuity in the circuit. Okay. What I found was bad connections at what I will call the stepper motor that is located on the module. This motor adjusts the location of the Magnet Pack Assembly in relation to the Flywheel to change workout resistance. The terminals where the wires are soldered to the motor are of a riveted type of connection. By removing the resistence adjusting cable lock nut, threaded end and the cable, I was able to cycle the pulley back into operating range by plugging in and unplugging the power cable multiple times. Each time that I would plug the power in, the pulley would rotate a couple of degrees in the clockwise direction. Then, reattaching the cable assembly, and applying pressure to the stepper motor terminals, the unit would time and orient itself properly when powered up with No Error. To remedy the problem, I applied a little solder using a soldering iron to the riveted type connections making them a Better, soldered connection. I hope this helps.
My Schwinn 431 Elliptical rpm sensor is not
I took a magnet from a magnetix toy and secured it to the correct side of the flywheel. It's working now...I just finshed doing it. Hopefully it'll continue working. Thanks for pointing out the magnet was on the wrong side.
Schwinn 431 Elliptical doesn't register rpm's, distance, etc.
I have this same problem and called the customer service. The problem is that the rpm sensor is not working. It could be the sensor or something else. They had me check the connections first for the wiring harness at the top and middle and then sent me parts to work on the inside where I have my problem. I am still working on mine because the magnet was installed on the wrong side of the flywheel. Hope you don't have this issue.
The computer on my schwin 418 eliptical does not
Call Schwinn customer service (actually Nautilus) at 1-800-nautilus if it is broken so you can order a new one or they will send you a new one if you are under warranty. They are very helpful. You can also check the power connection on the bottom or make sure the wire harness in the main pipe in the center is properly connected if the system is brand new and not working.
