How to fix speed issues on Sole treadmill

if you're getting an e2 warning or speed control issues with your sole treadmill one possible and luckily cheap fix is to check the speed control sensor under the protective cover near the motor. our treadmill was slowing down before speeding up and speeding up before slowing down and ultimately we got an e2 warning. when we get on and by pushing the sensor closer we fix the issue. this particular treadmill is a sole f85, but this fix could work on any model and probably any treadmill for that matter. all treadmills should have the sensor. they may just be tracking a different spinning wheel. either the motor itself or the wheel that turns the treadmill walking belt pad

Was having E2 error, machine would rapidly shut down. Moved sensor in just before it was touching the roller assembly, and now it’s working great! Thank you so much for the tip!

Our Sole F65 would slow down before every increase in speed. Cleaned and moved the sensor just a little bit and the problem was solved! Thanks for the great tip!

I'm so glad I found your video before I bought a new motor, thank you. My sensor is in the same location as yours. The problem I had was there was a lot of crud built up on the magnet, which would have made it difficult for the sensor to track. After cleaning that, problem went away.

oh that's awesome. glad you didn't have to spend money on a new motor and go thru the hassle of setting it all up. what I've found is motors that big rarely are the issue. they are surprisingly durable. it's the peripherals that fail

I became so dizzy, glad to know it's likely just a senor causing the speed issue
