Schwinn 460 Variable Stride Elliptical Trainer Exercise Machine Questions & Answers
My schwinn 460 elliptical resistance cannot be changed
see the following details. God bless youBe aware that the resistance is often the part that requires repair.
Resistance is managed magnetically, so often if the machine is working,
but the resistance isn't setting correctly or at all, check the bolts
that secure the magnets. If they are loose, the resistance will slip. If
the bolts are fine, check the magnets themselves by using a
refrigerator magnet and see if it is attracted or repelled by the your
fridge magnet. If not, the magnets have de-magnetized and need to be
replaced
Error 3 (E3) on Schwinn 240 recumbent bike. How
No speed/RPM reading, Console displays
"E3" error code
Check data cable integrity All wires in cable should be intact. If any
are cut or crimped, replace cable.
Check data cable connections/orientation, insure cable is connected securely and oriented properly. Small latch on connector should line up and snap into place.
Check magnet position (requires shroud removal) Magnet should be in place on flywheel. If no magnet is present, replace the flywheel or the entire base unit (if unable to replace flywheel).
Check RPM Sensor (requires shroud removal) RPM sensor should be aligned with magnet and connected to data cable. Realign sensor if necessary ( 1/8" clearance between sensor and flywheel) if still error 3 then check the sensor with a multi meter unplug sensor leads attach meter to sensor connectors. Have someone by hand rotate the pedal while you observe the multi meter opening and closing the internal sensor circuit if no change in meter readings then replace the sensor.
My Airdyne AD-6 crank arms are ~45* apart, not 180* Can they be adjusted?
It is possible that the crank arms are not seated correctly on the bottom bracket spindle, causing them to be misaligned. Try removing the crank arms and re-installing them, making sure that they are properly aligned with each other and with the bottom bracket spindle. If that doesn't work, there may be an issue with the bottom bracket itself, in which case it may need to be replaced. You can also check the manual for your Airdyne AD-6 to see if there are any specific instructions for adjusting the crank arms.
Model SRB-1800. Why is it indicating error code 1?
That error code is for the speed sensor. There is some kind of issue with it, it may be loose or misaligned, the magnet on the fly wheel may also be. Or the sensor may have failed entirely. You may check the sensor and the magnet but that will depend on your comfort level in taking the unit apart to get to the issue.
