VerifiedRemove the plastic shields and locate the tension motor. You can test the motor, by using a 9 volt battery - attach a wire to positve and negative side then touch the yellow and blue wires of the motor- let it run til it stops and then switch the wires around and let it run the other way. If it works both ways the motor is good. Then test the harness for continuity from the console to the motor. You will need to use a volt meter to check the continuity. If the wires check ok you will need to check the voltage being supplied by the console through the blue and yellow wires when the tension buttons are pressed - it should be approx 6 vdc. If there is no voltage the console is defective and will need replaced.
Please rate me before you go. That's the only way I can get credit for your question. Thanks

Stamina Elite recumbent bike with arm pedals. Cant use both at the same time. The resistance started slipping every now and then and now it rarely engages. I was looking at this 2015 question and it seems to be a problem with the magnet. Do I need to take apart the fly wheel assembly and figure out what the problem with the magnet is? The belts are fine. When the resistance stops working it sounds like sand paper being rubbed on the fly wheel. … read more
