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.Before you go please take a moment to rate me using the stars at the top or bottom of the page. That's the only way I can get credit for your question. Thanks!If you need parts go to www fitnessrepairparts.com
My answer still applies. You will need to open it up to check what's going on.
