Precor Repair in New Jersey

Precor publishes an error code guide for its cardio equipment, and its consoles keep an error log: on a home TRM 445 or 243 under Settings, Information, Error Log, with the date and the odometer reading for each code. Precor also warns that not every failure produces a code.

The P31 console guide gives owners a plain rule. For codes 00 to 09, 11 to 16 and 50, turn the machine off and on, twice, and call a technician if the message returns. Codes 10, 20 to 23, 26 to 28 and 32 go straight to a technician. Codes 40, 42 and 44 to 46 are logged and the workout can continue. Precor's explanations of the common ones:

• 27, motor current too high. Precor names a worn running belt and deck as the most likely cause and a faulty drive motor as less likely. The repair is a new belt with the deck flipped or replaced.
• 28, electronics temperature too high. Most often a cooling fan or heat sink clogged with dust; Precor's steps also include the belt and deck.
• 16, input voltage too low. Usually brownouts, but also wiring too thin or too long, or neutrals shared between outlets.
• 22, 23 and 26 on home treadmills. Speed sensor faults: dust in the optical sensor on the 400 Series, the reed switch and magnet on the 200 Series, or worn motor brushes.
• 24 on TRM 200 and 400 models. The belt speeds up under the exerciser's weight, most often on a new, low friction belt and deck at incline. Step off the belt to let it stop.
• 40, no lift motion. Most often a blown lift fuse or a jammed lift motor; on an EFX or AMT, also a dead battery.
• 30 to 33. Lost communication between the console and the lower board, most often the cable between them.

Precor launched the first EFX elliptical in 1995. Its ellipticals and bikes have their own short list.

• A squeak from a new EFX. A protective sheath on the roller arm wheels squeaks until it wears off. Precor calls this normal and asks for about ten hours of use before you call support.
• A squeak from an older EFX. Clean the wheel track, apply a thin coat of mineral oil and wipe off the excess. Too much oil collects dirt and can damage the ramp.
• Power on home EFX models. Bypassing the three prong plug with an adapter, or using a power transformer, will void the warranty in Precor's words.
• A dark console on a commercial EFX, AMT or bike with the P31 console. These are self powered: the console wakes when someone starts moving and shuts down if a minimum pace is not kept. Code 46 means low battery voltage.
• AMT belts. Code 78 shows Belts must be changed soon; code 79 shows Belts change required and blocks new workouts.
• Code 50 on ellipticals, AMTs and bikes. Too much brake current, most often damaged wiring between the lower board and the brake magnet.

Home lines, per Precor's 2026 summary: 5 years on motor and parts for the 200 line, 10 years for the 400 line, 3 years on the console and 1 year of labor for both. On the frame Precor's own pages disagree, lifetime on precor.com and 10 years on Precor At Home. Commercial machines sold into a home carry 10 years on parts, including the running belt, deck and drive motor, 3 years on the console and 1 year of labor.

Commercial use: labor is 3 years on Precor commercial cardio and strength bought for commercial use, effective March 30, 2026, and the 500 to 800 cardio lines carry 7 years on the frame and 5 on the treadmill drive motor. On parts the current documents differ, 3 years in the summary and 5 in the statement for machines made and sold after March 30, 2026, so read the one that shipped with yours.

Conditions: the warranty covers only the original purchaser and does not transfer, and Precor asks to be told within 30 days of finding a defect. The warranty for commercial equipment in a home applies only if it has been serviced by a Precor Authorized Service Provider. It excludes wear on running belts, decks and drive belts, non original parts, wiring not to code, skipped maintenance and missing serial tags.

Precor's route for warranty service starts with the dealer who sold the machine, then Precor Technical Support, which refers you to an authorized service provider. While your Precor is inside its labor warranty, use that route. We are an independent company and take the work after it: machines out of warranty, machines bought used, and wear the warranty does not cover. Precor sells parts to owners by serial number through PrecorConnect.com.
