BowFlex Ellipticals: My machine is making a clicking or clunking noise
Follow this troubleshooting guide to help resolve noise issues with your Results Series BXE116 and BXE 216 Elliptical.
Some common complaints may include:
Clicking or clunking noises
Follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue
Tools you may need:
Phillips head screwdriver
Flathead screwdriver
6mm hex/Allen wrench or the wrench from the hardware
card included with your machine
15mm open-ended wrench
Crank puller (if removing the main shroud or crank arms for
troubleshooting)
14mm socket wrench
1.
Make sure your elliptical is on a solid and level surface. Adjust the leveler feet as necessary to level your machine. Test
to see if the noise persists after adjusting the leveler feet [13829.A].
2.
Hardware can become slightly loosened over time or with frequent use. Use a Phillips head screwdriver and a 6mm
Allen wrench to tighten all the hardware installed during assembly. You can reference the
hardware should be tightened [13829.B].
3.
Inspect all the plastic shrouding/covers to make sure they are aligned, secured properly, and undamaged. If needed,
loosen the hardware securing the shrouds (if applicable) and adjust its position. Retighten hardware once aligned
properly and test to see if the noise persists [13829.C].
4.
Check the pivot pin and make sure that it is flush with the leg assembly. The pivot pin has a small key on it that must
fit into the notch on the lower handlebar arm (reference 1). If it was installed incorrectly, remove the bolt at the
handlebar/leg assembly connection with a 6mm Allen wrench. Adjust the pivot pin until the small key on it fully sets
in the notch and reinstall the bolt. Repeat for both sides and test if the noise persists [13829.D].
