I am hoping there is someone out there that can help with a problem I'm having with my Precor Elliptical 5.23.
I am getting an error code 30 (communication error). I unplugged the machine, removed the cover, and unplugged all the cables – then replugged everything and the error went away….for 30 minutes. Then it was back. I’ve gone through this routine about 5 times and the last time I got the error to disappear –after I hit quick start - the machine didn’t do anything but display ‘start pedaling’… I can’t get the minutes to display and there is no resistance.
I’ve had a repair guy out (at a cost of $160) who did the unplug/recalibrate thing and it all seemed to work… for about 30 minutes. When I called him back, he indicated it was the lift motor ($300 plus his labor) – that the diagnostics indicated this. I find this hard to believe because the machine has never gone into error 30 mode when the lift motor was running.
I spoke to Precor (very nice people) who said it sounded like the speed sensor and agreed it didn’t sound like the motor. I think I’m going to keep calling Precor to keep trying to fix it over the phone with them, but thought I’d check this forum to see if there is anyone with this experience who can tell me if they know what the root problem is or has any advice.
