Top repair parts for Proform steppers

• Resistance motor. The resistance motor changes the distance of the C-magnet from the flywheel to adjust the pedal resistance.
• Tension cable. The tension cable attaches to the C-magnet and adjusts the distance between the C-magnet and the flywheel to vary the resistance.
• Reed switch. The reed switch detects a magnet attached to the rotating crank arm pulley to sense speed and sends the speed signal to the console.
• Console. The console controls pedal resistance and displays time, distance, resistance level and other settings and readings.

What to do when the control console display is dim on your Proform stepper

Weak batteries, loose wires or a faulty console can cause a dim control console display on your stepper.

In a stepper that uses batteries to power the console, replace the batteries to restore brightness to the console display. Replace the batteries during routine stepper maintenance to keep the control console display from going dim in the future.

If the display doesn't get brighter after replacing the batteries, you'll likely need to replace the console.

If your stepper has a power cord, unplug the stepper and check the power cord wiring connections to the control console. Reconnect any loose wires. If the power cord is damaged, replace it.

If the power cord and its wiring connections to the control console are okay, then you may need to replace the console because the display is faulty or the console isn't sending enough power to the display.
