All icon models are the same. The easiest way to incline calibration is to start the treadmill, push the incline up button and then after you release the button, remove the safety key. Replace the safety key and the treadmill should calibrate. If that doesn't work, press the stop and speed up buttons and hold, then place the safety key in place. This will bring you to the speed/incline calibration. Press stop again. now press incline up. This will run the incline calibration. You may need to remove the hood and manually with a drill lower the motor. Using a slot screwdriver bit, lower the motor a bout 50 turns and then try the procedure above again if necessary.

I also have a PFTL71505 which like the original questioner has failed with only the 3 and 9 (and program key) responding. I have tried to buy a replacement, but ICON does make or sell them any more. The fact that this is an identical problem must mean there is a characteristic fault. Any suggestions on getting a replacement or fix. I have the parts manual, and have looked at the back of the console. There is no battery, and I don't see an obvious burned part. Since none of the other numeric keys work, I don't think this has anyting to do with motor control.

If everything else is working fine, the most likely failure is the console display itself.

Giant magnet

It’s the lower control board or speed sensor.

Not familiar with the model, but sounds like a board if it does not produce any error codes or is resolved by powering down.

Typically a dirty speed sensor will shut a machine down, because the speed the board and the sensor are not reading the same. Although this will often produce an error code, to be investigated.

Verify the safety key is present and functioning. Most machines use a magnet and any strong magnet will be enough to close the circuit.

Most treadmills meet there demise from a faulty lower control board under the hood. It can light and be mostly functional, but still have issues. Boards are not very cheap but are very easy to install.

Search for options on fitnessrepairparts.com.

Make sure to take an image of the original board to copy the wire location/connections.

Boards often go bad from an array of issues, but verify the condition of the underside of the walking belt is not black and the deck is not worn. Lack of lubricant and too much friction on the belt system usually overloads the board with heat and damages the board.

Warranty is on the back page.

Elliptical consoles come as completes, no harder to install then the original assembly

Most likely worn belt and deck, demise of almost every treadmill or the source of a blown lower control board.

Lube is usually every 150 mi or 6 months. Consumers rarely apply lube until its too late.


Putting lube on it does not resolve the damage to the deck. Look under the belt and see if the bottom of the belt is white. When a machine is run out/low on lube the bottom of the belt turns grey/black and the slippery board the lube is supposed help the belt run on gets rough.

Parts aren’t bad, couple hundred bucks. Shipping is brutal because the deck is a 40lbs 2’ x 4’ sheet of laminated wood. You would need to dismantle the machine down to the frame to install the deck or even the belt.

Could be way simpler, but start with the condition under the belt and the sliding deck.
