Hello I have a Nordic Track A2050 treadmill and it has worked flawlessly till today, The unit was open (unfolded) and I wanted to close it because I nearly killed myself tripping over it, so I turned it on to lower the incline so I could close the unit, and I had the safety magnet in place to turn it on, while it was lowering the incline I snagged the strap with the magnet on it and it pulled the magnet off, so the unit turned off mid way to lowering the incline, I replaced the magnet, and now the unit is stuck raising the incline and it wont stop, I had to unplug the unit for fear of more damage. when I turned it on again I noticed only a few things lightup on the main panel but it is still stuck in the raise incline position and keeps going up, so I unplugged it again and letft it, please help, and help is much appericiated and Thank you in advance.

    Hello, I have a similar problem with my nordic track A2050 treadmill, it also has worked flawlessly until today, It was unfolded and I turned on the unit with the safety magnet and it just started inclining. The display showed only incline and a couple of dashes. I turned it off and then tried again, it just kept inclining so I turned it off again, unplugged it and plugged it back in at which time it started again without the magnet! It is now jacked up and I can't fold it or use it. Please help! Thanks.

Hello there, The machine is attempting to do an incline calibration. Keep the unit lowered as you have it, reinstall the safety key, allow the unit to go all the way to the top and then all the way to the bottom. The machine will stop when at the bottom and the screen will go back to normal. The machine will not overtravel the incline motor and damage it. Just let the calibration finish the procedure and you will be fine.
Good Luck! Tim
FYI this will happen anytime the safety key is removed while the incline is moving on nordictrack brand machines.

How i unfold it?

There is allot of weight on the "Storage Latch". You may need to push forward on the treadmill a bit, pull the black knob, then slowly let the machine unfold. Taking the weight off the "Storage Latch" will make it easier to release the latch..

When i power my Nordic Trac A2050 on it powers up but when I press the speed button or incline button is beeps twice but does not reponse to the command

This sounds like a bad controller. If the machine is under warranty contact the warranty provider. The controller is not hard to replace if you are electrically inclined but it does require calibrating.

Cant close my nordic track a2050.... its stuck open...not very space friendly

Does it close part-way? If so, it might be the same thing that happened to me. Make sure the incline is at zero. It will not close if the walkway is raised.

If that doesn't work, you might try disconnecting the incline motor screw (held in by a retaining pin and cotter pin), turning the screw one or two rotations and reconnecting it. I've had to do that in the past, but I'm sure it is not an approved solution.
