Sole E55 console display flashing "Need Lube"
Got a
Sole elliptical machine? Is it displaying a NEED LUBE error message when you turn it on? Tyler at Sole service told me this is a software bug. It appears every 180 miles of usage, and it was really only intended for treadmills, not ellipticals.
You can clean and lubricate the rails and wheels - and you should - but the error message won't go away. Instead, you can get rid of it by resetting the odometer. First, press and hold the Start, Enter, and Stop buttons for five seconds to enter engineering mode. Use the arrow keys to select FUNCTIONS, then select ODO RESET and press Enter. Turn the machine off and on again, and voila, no error message.
Thanks Tyler! Happy exercising!
Display Problem
Yes, you do need to either replace the entire console (4 screws) or the display board.

follow this steps and fix it. God bless you
Use a
flat screwdriver to unseat the tabs that hold the front top cover in place.
This will expose the flywheel and pedal arm connection points. Rotate the flywheel
by hand and determine whether lubrication will accomplish the repairs. If the
bearings are exposed, use a grease gun with an extension nozzle and lubricate
both bearings with lithium grease. If the bearings are damaged or sealed,
proceed to the next step.
2
Remove
the front and side covers on the main frame. Hold the flywheel with one hand
and use a box wrench to loosen the bolts that secure the pedal arms at each
side of the flywheel. Pull the arms away from the flywheel and remove the
bearings from each side.
3
Test the bearings as
before. Lubricate exposed bearings with lithium grease and reinstall them.
Sealed bearings must be replaced. Reattach the pedal arms to the flywheel.
Replace the main frame covers and front top cover to complete the repairs.
Lubrication
1
Detach
the ends of the pedals from the crank axles. Spread a layer of machine grease
over the crank axles, then reattach the ends of the pedals.
2
Remove
the bolts connecting the pedals to the swing arms. Detach the pedals from the
arms, then spread a layer of machine grease over the axles on the swing arms.
On some models, the bolts may also serve as the axles. Reattach the pedals to
the arms.
3
Remove
the bolts connecting the swing arms to the elliptical's upright. Detach the
swing arms from the upright, then spread a layer of machine grease over the
axles on the upright. Reattach the arms to the upright.
Drive
Belt
1
Remove
the screws or bolts securing the ends of the pedals to the crank axles. Slide
the ends of the pedals off the axles. Remove any screws or bolts securing the
left and right disc shields to the base unit. Pull or pry the disc shields off
the base unit and set them aside.
2
Remove
any screws or bolts securing the left and right side shields to the base unit.
Detach the side shields and set them aside. Examine the interior of the base
unit and locate the drive belt.
3
Pull the drive belt
free of the crank pulley, flywheel and any other pulleys. Discard the old drive
belt and install a new belt in its place. Turn the crank axles by hand to confirm
that the belt will turn smoothly when the device is in use.
