I have an E44 error code
Includes Keys, Ironman, Alliance, Milestone, Encore, HealthTrainer, some Smooth models, some CardioZone models, Galyans, and several other brands.
Meaning of code:
Membrane or dome switches are stuck or defective on the console. In less common instances, we have seen some console PCB failures but it is typically in the switches.
Step 1
First disconnect the switches from the PCB and try calibrating the machine with the calibration help topic. If you still get the E44 error code, a bad PCB is present.
Step 2
Test all the keys on the console. You should feel or hear a click or feel the switch depressing. If not the switches need to be replaced. (no longer available)
Step 3
If all the switches feel fine or click, a bad PCB needs replacing. (call for availability)
