  rachel16Aug 13, 2025
  If your Life Fitness electronics have no power, first, check that the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position. If that's not the issue, ensure the treadmill is plugged into a dedicated 20 amp circuit and verify power at the outlet using a voltmeter; reset the circuit breaker if necessary. Inspect the power connection at both the wall outlet and the machine. If the line cord is damaged, it should be replaced.

Check the line cord for damage and replace if needed. Make sure the line cord is properly seated in the electrical outlet. Also, ensure the emergency stop magnet is engaged and that no obstructions are interfering with the stop switch. Intermittent keypad closures may also be the problem.

  Samuel SilvaAug 25, 2025
  Erratic or absent heart rate readings on your Life Fitness equipment can be due to several factors: * The belt transmitter electrodes may not be wet enough. * The belt transmitter electrodes may not be laying flat against the skin. * The belt transmitter may need cleaning; wash it with mild soap and water. * The belt transmitter might not be within 3 ft. (0.9 m) of the heart rate receiver. * Make sure the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is properly attached to the user’s chest and move closer to the heart rate receiver inside the console.
