Why won't my elliptical's console turn on?

less than a minute readJun 04Lyle Weischwill

Dead batteries, a failed power supply, bad electrical connections or a faulty console can keep the elliptical from turning on.

If your elliptical exerciser's control is powered by batteries, follow these troubleshooting steps to fix the console when the elliptical display is not working:

  • Change the batteries to fix a dead or unresponsive console.

  • Replace the batteries during routine elliptical maintenance to keep the console powered up and working properly.

  • If the elliptical console doesn't light up or work properly after replacing the batteries, you'll likely need to replace the console.

If your elliptical uses an electrical outlet for the power supply, unplug the elliptical and check the power cord. Reconnect power cord wires if disconnected. Replace the power cord if it's damaged. If the power cord is intact and properly connected to the console, then you'll probably need to replace the console when the elliptical display is not working.

These troubleshooting tips can help you resolve problems for Icon, Weslo, Life Fitness, Lifestyler and Proform elliptical console displays that are not working.
