Profitness Sierra Motorised Treadmill

Mine did have an E1 error message but I fixed that - then the belt slipped
to one side and made the most atrocious thudding noise (not sure that that
was the belt though) - the faster you went the louder the banging. Wish I
had invested in something a bit more sophisticated. Got mine in
Argos.

Definately an awful treadmill!!!

With mine, the Brushes of the motor have gone.... After ringing customer
services and requesting a callback twice, went round electrical stores...

2nd one I got to said `These brushes are for an Argos treadmill aren`t
they???`

when I said yes he advised be careful, Pro Fitness will not sell you the
brushes alone - they try to sell you the full motor!

Am awaiting for a callback to corroborate this...

I brought 1 out of ad mag and got the e1 message. I just rang argos up and
made out I got it from them(as they r only uk retailers) and they sent a
tech guy out to fix it. It is some dodgy cable that was a manufactoring
fault. Try it out. Good luck.

I bought this treadmill off E-bay I had the same error 1 message. I
managed to fix the problem on mine. Ignore the Reset rubbish you read
about it does not work!! If you press down hard where the emergency stop
switch is with the magnet on, you will find that the tread mill will start
working let go and it stops (if not bear with me still something to
try!!). I took the top cover off and behind where the emergency stop
switch is there is the magnetic switch. This had worked loose on mine, so
it was not seeing the magnet. After tightening this the machine worked a
treat, I have had it 13 months so far and no problems.

I bought mine off ebay as good price, low and behold the dreaded E1
problem arose,switching off, my cure for this problem was to take cover
off, push all the wires to make sure its connected, especially the rocker
on/off switch, everything gets knocked about in transit, because
computised it will not work, hope this works for you, let me know, I would
be interested.

I bought this treadmill from argos as well, just a couple of months back.
I got the dreaded E1 message and even an E2 message... argos are sending
me a new one, am frightful that the message may come back again after
putting it together, which is a workout in itself.

Also bought from Argos. First one worked for just over two months and then
produced the dreaded E1 error. Argos provided a replacement within days -
no quibble. Have had it for less than a week and it is now producing the
E1 error. There is obviously something very wrong with the motor or the
wiring. Plan to try the technical customer support number 0845 6034120
before getting back to Argos. If this doesn`t work I fear I will have to
change to another brand.

great machine bought one on ebay at a fraction and it was ready to use in
minutes. it has allowed me to pick the training level I am happy with a
friend of mine paid over £1,000.00 for his fancy one and he said he wish
he had saved his money as mine does just as much he was a bit sick after
using mine. I think the others who written in saying they was not happy
must have expected it to cook as well.

Bought one for xmas also from Argos and had the same `E1` problem. Managed
to fix it by removing the cover exposing the motor and cables, checked for
loose cables (with the power off!!). I then pressed the round button
beside the power switch and kept it pressed for about 30 secs. This seemed
to fix it. Switched it off and on a few times to check and it was fine.

An awful treadmill. We bought one from Argos, after a month it stopped
working, and gave a continous E1 Error. We got a replacement from Argos,
put it together turned it on, and got another E1 Error. I`ve now told
Argos to exchange it for another brand. No way am I waiting 3 weeks
delivery to have another fail!
