I've been trouble shooting steps according to the manual "Press one of the incline buttons and while it is moving remove the safety key. Wait a few seconds and replace the key. It should go all the way up then all the way down to recalibrate." When I did these steps, it would go up about an inch and then go down about the same and stop. It won't go all the way down and recalibrate.
Try recalibrate. If that dont work, replace the incline motor.

Under the hood there should be a tech sheet with calibration instructions. I have not worked on these for several years or I would rattle off the procedure. If the sheet is still there make sure you put it back in the plastic sleeve for next time..... Eric

The only way is loosening the screw or nut and making it back manually, but it is the right way to fix it, you should review the KEYPAD, specifically the down key. tries to do the following: turn it off and rub the area where the key now is turn it on again if it does not work with you to replace that part

Wondering if you found a solution to this problem yet? I seem to have the same situation with my 730cs treadmill. It is inclined and will not move up or down...thanks.
SOURCE: the proform 980 turns on but just goes to incline
It is trying to its starting point I would suggest is to unplug the unit open the motor shroud unit. The shroud it has a mini manual this should have a calibration instructions that can be done and also upper electronics self test to see if the processor is functioning properly. It should give a better idea which to head. You can call Icon Fitness@ 1-800999-3756

If the incline is stuck, it could be a problem as simple as the gearbox on the motor being jammed. Unplug the treadmill remove the motor shroud then remove the incline motor from the treadmill, reconnect the wiring, plug in the treadmill and then try to run the incline motor outside the treadmill. Many times, this will unjam it if that is the problem and then reinstalling it in the treadmill will get it to work. If you have the same problem or it doesn’t run outside the machine and you can hear it try to work, you need to replace the incline motor.
If the incline motor does not move, we need to figure out if the motor is getting voltage. Use a simple multi-meter and set it to AC volts. When you put it into calibration, it tries to calibrate the directions one at a time. Measure across the white and black wires first, then measure across the white and red wires second. If the motor is getting voltage you will read 120VAC (or
thereabouts) one one of the measurements. If you have voltage but the motor won't move, you need to replace the motor.
.
If the incline motor does not move and you have done the voltage test and you do not have any voltage present, there is a problem in the electronics board that supplies the power, you need to replace the board.
The
Steps for Newer Style Console Calibration
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.)
Insert a pencil (eraser end),
into the hole and feel around for the cal button (will click
when pressed).
Press the button 2 times
(with the pencil eraser). The first click should show CL11
in the console, the second click should show CL21.
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.
Press ENTER. CL22 should display
in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.
Press ENTER. CL23 should display
in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.
Press ENTER. CL24 should display
in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.
Press ENTER. CL25 should
display in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.
Press ENTER. CL26 should
display in the TIME window. You should then see the
letter "E."
Press ENTER. You should see "SS"
or "55" in the console.
Push the STOP/START button. For
safety, at this point, you should step off, or be off, the
treadmill.
Push the ENTER button. The walking
belt should start to move, accelerate to maximum speed, then stop on
its own.
When the belt stops, the
incline should self test by raising to its highest
incline position, then lowering back down to its lowest
position.
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.
