Troubleshooting your West Bend elliptical exercise machine when incorrect speed is displayed on the console
A problem with the reed switch, wiring failure or faulty console can cause the incorrect speed to be displayed.
Unplug the elliptical if it has a power cord and check the position of the reed switch if displayed speed is extremely slow when you're treading at a fast pace. The reed switch won't detect the crank arm pulley magnet if the switch is too far away from the pulley. Adjust the reed switch closer to the pulley so the reed switch detects the magnet and sends the proper speed signal to the console.
If the wires are okay, you may need to replace the console because it isn't displaying the correct speed even though it's receiving the correct speed signal from the reed switch.
Maintenance tips for your West Bend weight machine
Cables can stretch when you use the weight machine the first time. Cables also stretch over time. Carefully check cable tension before each use. Tighten any cable that has any slack during inspection. Don't overtighten any cables. The top weight in a stack will be lifted up off the stack if a cable is overtightened.
If a cable slips off the pulleys often, the cable may be twisted. Remove the cable and re-install it.
