Sole Fitness equipment is known for its durability and performance. However, with time and regular use, some parts may require maintenance or replacement. Fortunately, many common issues can be easily fixed at home using inexpensive replacement parts found on our site here at Sole Fitness Parts. Let’s explore some of the most common mechanical failures and their DIY solutions.

Treadmill Belt Slipping or Wearing Out

Over time, your treadmill’s walking/running belt may slip or wear down, causing an uneven running surface. To fix this issue, you can purchase a replacement belt and follow the instructions in your treadmill’s manual to install it. Lubricating the belt regularly will also help extend its lifespan.

Elliptical Resistance Issues

If your elliptical’s resistance isn’t functioning properly, the issue may lie in the resistance motor. To fix this, you can order a replacement motor from us and follow the installation guidelines in your user manual. Also, at times once opened up you will find that it is the steel cable that detached or even snapped and that is what needs replacing. Gear motors do wear out, inevitably, so purchasing both items together is never a bad idea.

Stationary Bike Pedals and Straps

Pedals and straps can wear out over time, causing an unstable and uncomfortable cycling experience. Replacing them is simple; just order new pedals or straps and follow the installation instructions.

Console Malfunctions

A malfunctioning console can hinder your workout progress. In many cases, the issue can be resolved by replacing the console’s circuit board. Visit our search page to find the right circuit board for your equipment model and follow the installation guide in your manual. Taking the time to make sure all cords and connections are secure is a good idea before purchase of a new Display Board for your Console.

Treadmill Motor Brushes

If your treadmill’s motor brushes are worn out, they may cause the motor to malfunction. Unfortunately, at this current time motor brushes are not sold separately. Original owners are typically able to get their drive motors replaced in their entirety from an alternate vendor. Contact us if you need further instructions on how to do so.
