You have to 'RECALIBRATE" the treadmill. This happens to my F3 all the time and it is very frustrating. Evidently there is no "fix" except to "RECALIBRATE.".
Here is how to do it (pay close attention because it gets TRICKY!):
1) Turn "ON" the treadmill;
2) Press the "RESET" button;
3) Here is where it gets tricky:
After you press the "RESET' button "PLEASE WAIT" or "WAIT" comes on;
As soon as the screen goes "BLANK" but before "SELECT PROGRAM" appears, hold the "PAUSE" button down until "DIAGNOSTICS" appears.
(I told you that was tricky... so after you press "RESET"... 'PLEASE WAIT" will come on... as soon as the screen goes "BLANK" you must hold the 'PAUSE' button before "SELECT PROGRAM" comes on. If "SELECT PROGRAM": comes on you have pressed and held "PAUSE" TOO LATE! You must time it right between 'PLEASE WAIT" and "SELECT PROGRAM" when the screen is BLANK. Why LifeFitness made this so difficult is a MYSTERY!!!!)
OKAY... TO CONTINUE...
4) After "DIAGNOSTICS" appears, use the arrows to scroll to "CALIBRATION."
5) Then press the 'START" button (make sure it's the SILVER not the black START button!)
6) The treadmill will then automatically cycle through a series of tests including speed and incline adjustments in order to complete the "CALIBRATION."
7) When successfully completed, the console will display: "PASS"
8) YOU'RE DONE! And your incline should work now. You may have to TURN OFF the treadmill and TURN it back "ON" so that you can resume using the treadmill.
Hope this helps! Once again... LifeFitness should have made this 'RECALIBRATION" much simpler!
Good luck! It's very hard the first time... but once you do it a few times, it gets easier!
I am having the same problem as well!! Can anyone help?
