FOLLOW this steps and fix it. God bless you
Clean
the heart rate monitoring pads if the console is not displaying your heart rate
when you grip the pads. Use a damp cloth and a mild soap to clean the pads. Do
not use alcohol or any other abrasive cleaners that may damage the equipment.
Calibrate the ramp if the elliptical is not functioning
properly. Press and hold the "Target Toning Workouts" button on the console
until the calibration mode appears on the display. Press the "Target
Toning Workouts" button once. The elliptical will display additional
directions. Use the "One Step Power Ramp" increase and decrease
buttons to raise and lower the ramp.
Adjust the reed switch by removing the access cover, which
sits over the wheel of the elliptical at the back of the machine. The access
cover can be removed with a flat-head screwdriver. Unplug the machine. The reed
switch provides information to the console for display. Rotate the pulley until
the pulley magnet, which is under the belt, lines up with the reed switch. The
reed switch has a wire running into it. Loosen the screw to the reed switch and
adjust the distance closer or farther from the pulley magnet. Tighten the
screw. Plug in the machine and rotate the pulley. If the console still is not
displaying correctly, repeat adjusting the reed switch distance either closer
or father from the pulley magnet.
Adjust the drive belt if the pedals slip while in use. Unplug
the elliptical. Lift the latch on the underside of the left pedal arm and slip
it off. Use a screwdriver to remove the arm sleeve and pry open the disc panel.
Loosen the pivot screw located on the left side. The belt tighten screw is
below the pivot screw. Tighten the belt tightening screw until the belt is
tight. Tighten the pivot screw. Replace the disc and arm to the elliptical

I had the exact same problem.
This usually happens if you switch it off at the mains while the incline is adjusting or is somewhere other than lowest. You should always make sure before finishing off, to lower everything.
Now for the solution: If you open up the case it has 5 or 6 black philips (cross head) screws (use your user manual if you don't have your original go to proform and find the support link and download the .PDF if your model is not available get the one before or after in the same model product line (model number is below the power input)).
Make sure you remove the power before opening the cover, obviously.
Anyway, once opened, you should find a sheet of paper wrapped around in some plastic wallet. On that paper it should explain everything. Try not to mess with too much things in the settings, otherwise you might mess it up badly.
Mine is something like: Hold the speed up (+) button and then while holding the button insert the key - that will get you to the service menu (obviously the power has to be connected).
Once in the menu pressing the incline up does a self-calibration (maximum up and maximum down) after that it should be perfect.
Remove the key any time to come out of that mode and resume normal operation.
I may not find this place for any more replies 'cos i only found this site by accident. While looking for info. on my burnt out motor model: PETL 3013.6 .... But i have come across someone selling a faulty one on ebay for like 5 quids... it's picking it up the trouble!

Under the motor shroud their is a instruction mini manual it will have a how to calibrate the incline motor, if that does not fix it then you may have to manually adjust the incline motor and sometimes it will take awhile to realign . If that does not work replacing the motor maybe the only option

Dear Sir:
Some different things. 1)Not signal from the console 2) damaged cable or tight
3)the console itself has failed 4) motor control board failed by worn deck 5) the motor may in short. 6) potentiometer geared adjust and lubricate.7) fail or the gearing can slip,
giving the console false information
8) Adjust the speed sensor see the diagram attached..9) RUN again the calibration software under the Hood of the motor for easy diagnose and troubleshooting. Any way attached my own block diagram for easy diagnose.
sincerely. God bless you.

Use your flathead screwdriver to pry off the plate on the left side of the elliptical trainer.
Step 2
Look for the magnet and reed
switch. These elements will be roughly the same size, and the reed
switch should have a series of wires connected to it.
Step 3
Loosen the screw in the reed
switch using your screwdriver. Move the reed switch by hand until it
sits 1/8 inch from the magnet, then re-tighten the screw.
Step 4
Test the unit to see if the
display and heart rate monitor are working properly. If not, move the
reed switch slightly so it is closer or farther from the magnet, then
try the machine again. Once you've found the correct location for the
switch, tighten the screw to hold the reed switch in place.
Step 5
Replace the cover plate by snapping it into position by hand
God bless you
