Dave, big thanks to you and Alexis for this calibration video. I recently purchased a replacement console for my 2014 Sole F85. Installed it and the Incline/Decline did not respond. I thought I had been scammed with a faulty console until I found your video. Running the calibration cleared up my incline issue and my F85 is back online, ready to serve again!!! Keep the videos coming, I'll definitely be watching for help with the next crisis of my F85!!
Thank you so much for calibration demo. My Sole F80 treadmill was stopping suddenly & console became frozen after 30 minutes of use. Lately it was showing E2 at elevation window & was running at slow speed. I recalibrated the treadmill as per your demo...& It started working again. Thanks again for your wonderful advise. Sunil, Dorset, UK
Thank you for your quick reply and excellent diagnostics. This simple fix corrected my treadmills loss of incline adjustment. I have bookmarked your site, liked and subscribed, and will be using you for any future needs I have.
Very clear explanation and the visuals of the dashboard are very helpful! Great warning about footing during the calibration process...I probably would have fallen if I tried this on my own without watching this video. Thank you Fitness Technology Services!
We have a F65 treadmill and the power will not go off unless we push the main red power button in the front. It used to go off after the removal of the red key. Request assistance.
Most likely this is a bad safety key module it is what the key goes into you have to remove the back of the console to see it. I show it on my video changing sole f/63 display
Excellent video, Dave. You continue to provide more of what I will need to know once my F63 gets delivered. One question though: is calibration something I should do periodically or are there circumstances that indicate the need?
Great video sir, wonder if you can tell me if there is a way to add an additional decimal point to the distance. For example, 1.25 of a mile vs 1.2. The sole site also shows an incline on the S77 to be in 0.5 decimal points but our unit only does a whole number at a time, not in-between 0.5. thank you, let me know if you can help
Well thank you but sorry I don’t know if you can move the decimal point !I don’t think so.On the incline adjustment it should not move in half increments mine does not
Hi Dave, I have a second hand TT8 model, and my quick speed/speed up button has stopped working, so now I cannot calibrate my treadmill (which I learned here) or increase the speed on the treadmill in increments. I am in Ireland, I bought the treadmill second hand (which was a mistake) about 18months ago, and service and help is impossible to get. Is there any links or anything you can offer me so I can perhaps I do a DIY on my machine? Thank you
Well unfortunately if more than one button fails it means the display is failing. But it couldn’t to check the buttons connections to the display unseat them and reinstall worth a try
@@FitnessTechnologyServices really appreciate you coming back to me. I'm going to get an electronics expert to look at the console. If that doesn't work. I'll hang my hat, and just use it as is. Thanks
Hi, I have a F63 (V1.2) I bought July 2020. I tried to get into the engineering mode with no success :( I get in the screen giving me total hours, miles, and version, but then it reverse to the normal user screen :( Can you help? Thanks in advance!! (I am trying to switch from mi to km).
@@tialinn2282 if will not calibrate you will have to start with the controller. Check your controller see if you can find any burnt wire on the incline connections
Sergio Chavez well that would depend on what code . And does the unit still run normal if it is a LS1 code it’s most likely A bad speed switch I just put that video up 👍 Thanks Dave
Hmm I do have one listed as changing metric to English for distance. Not sure on hours I think all timing should change as you flip it back and forth see my channel fitness technology services. You may find lots of helpful videos
Hi, I just calibrated my sole f85, and there was no way to change the wheel size. Only metric/English and grade return. The treadmill shows in excess of 0,5 km/H too fast. I guess its due to me slowing down the belt in each landing, but was hoping I could somehow adjust the displays reading to better reflect my actual pace. Any ideas how I might do this?
Hello I don’t believe you can change any speed / distance parameters on any sole unit after 2018 just got a new display in so I will look into it ! But so far in Field no luck please subscribe so you can see any updates Dave
Hmm this means the controller most likely went bad send me your serial number to fitnesspartspro@gmail .com so I can tell what controller you have Dave
Well look through your manual it is most likely in display mode there is a on power switch on bottom by power cord .But it is not convenient you can send me your serial # to fitnesspartspro@gmail .com if manual does not help thanks Dave
It depends on if it is all the time and causing unit to completely fail . Or is it intermittently on start up . If doesn’t run at all and you haven’t moved it it could be your controller
I own a sole f63, and just lubed it last week. It was purchased new in January of 2019. Immediately after lubing the belt, my wife tried to walk on it and it gave an E2 error. I thought that maybe I had overtightened the belt, so I loosened it a little bit (on both sides) and did a second lube. It did the E2 error again (after walking about 3/4 of a mile). Do you know what this error means?
Once the walk belt is worn lube won’t help. If you need a belt I have them on my website Fitnesspartspro.com also check your deck make sure it is not scratched Dave
I got sole f63 and it has started read error code e7 and i hear a click when i press start then the code and it want move and screen want go back until i cut it off. What is the problem and solution please help.
E7 is normally a bad controller ! But I would check the walk belt 90% of all controllers overheat due to walk belt is worn. If you need it I have a video on testing your belt
Well that would not make any difference the unit would not know that small difference send me your serial # to fitnesspartspro and contact info I will try to help
Hello I would need your serial # for your manual to look that up ? Is it brand new if so check and if it has a sleep mode .I am not sure what page it is on send # to fitnesspartspro.gmail.com Dave
Hmmm I need more info if you have calibrated unit then most likely the lower controller has gone bad send me your serial # to fitnesspartspro@gmail.com I will look into it Dave
Hey, I have a sole f80. The incline wasn’t working so i tried to calibrate it. During calibration, when the treadmill inclined to 15 it stopped and the screen read e3. What should I do now?
Well that sounds like a controller issue only sending the up signal! You would have to switch the red and black incline wires at the controller and see if it only goes down. More than likely the controller went bad
Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly! I switched the incline wires and they both worked, just opposite. So, I put them back, red on top, black on the bottom. I calibrated again and all is well. Thank you so much!!
Said in the book the display is supposed to turn off automatically after use. My sole f63 stays on all the time. Does anyone know how to adjust the screen timeout?
Well that is normally a bad controller And or a bad walking belt send me your serial number to Fitnesspartspro@ gmail.com and I will send you links for testing
Hi, I have an elevation error on my sole 63. It would increase slightly each time I would start a session. After following your steps here, I received a just a "error" message and could not press any buttons, so I turned the machine off/on and it read "elevation error - press stop to bypass". Doing that starts the belt and ERR is seen where the incline usually is. Help!
I have this same exact problem. Ours seems to be stuck in the up position but occasionally after turning off/on the motor will work during collaboration (going up/down) but eventually will fail w Err
I've watched a lot of your videos and it seems that the motor itself works but something electrical is not. All of the wires appear to be in good shape and not pinched. I will say we just bought it used and loaded in back of pickup so I'm thinking the relay may have been damaged during move?
@@ZGatorGuy I would think if the relay got stuck either open or closed it would not work in calibration. There are up and down lights on the board see if they activate when you command them . When in calibration mode check and see if the values change on your console.This sounds like a signal Issue to me
My sole F85 starts turning in reverse after a 15 minutes break between workouts. I did a 50 minute fast paced walk workout, turned off the machine and then my wife turned it back on 15 minutes later and the belt starting turning in reverse/ She stopped the belt, pressed start again and the belt moved in the right direction. She then stopped the belt, chose another program and the belt once again started turning in reverse. Anyone ever run into that kind of anomally? And ideas please?
Well heck no the lower motor controller must be reversing the signal a dc motor will work forward or reverse depending on signal sent . You would have to leave a meter in motor leads to watch dc voltage switch 🤔
Hi there! I tried to calibrate my F63 sole treadmill and after I did, the screen was still lit up with what appeared to be an error message still. It’s hard to explain what the error message said. But it looks like SW NER 1.3 at the bottom and then some other numbers. Yesterday when I used it, it would only let me get to 3 minutes then it suddenly stopped. Not sure what else to do. Thanks!
Hmmm server issue is in console .Stopping after three minutes could be in walk belt Run treadmill with no one on it at 3 miles an hour and see if it last longer Dave

I have a F 80 that was giving the LS one error code. When I did the calibration it did not give me any error codes. What else could be causing this?

@@williamswain8927 Ok then we will have to do a pin test on wire harness send me a pic of the connection on the right side were console meets lower harness .Also send your serial # to fitnesspartspro@gmail.com
Do you happen to know if there is anyway to stop the beeping that happens every minute? I've gone through the maintenance menu and see no option, nor do I see anything in the menu? Also, it seems like it takes quite a while for it to reach the speed I've entered, and I'm not entirely sure that it actually running at the speed. My only comparision is my nordictrack so it might just be I'm not used to it, and the calibration passes but though I should aks.
I would think if beeps constantly there may be a issue with console. Or some sort of stuck button making it beep I have never seen that.On the speed you can check your speed sensor move it around some .But in general if passed calibration I don’t think you can do more
@@FitnessTechnologyServices it beeps every minute for some reason. Like a auditory counter, but I'm someone who covers my console with a towel so I don't know how long it's been. I've seen other people ask about it on Google but no real answers.
@@FitnessTechnologyServices oddly enough it only adjusted the incline when I set it go an undefined user 1. Under manual it didn't do the incline reset, but still beeped at 1 minute and would only allow for a 20 minute countdown.
