Schwinn 190 & 290 Bikes: Why is my machine making a weird noise?
Follow this troubleshooting guide to help resolve issues with the console not sitting straight or level on the Schwinn 190 and
290 bikes.
Some common complaints may include:
Squeaking noises
Grinding noises
Rubbing noises
Squealing or chirping noises
Follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue
Tools you may need:
Phillips head screwdriver
Flat head screwdriver
Pedal wrench, or 15mm open-ended wrench
14mm socket wrench
Two 10mm wrenches
19mm or 3/4" wrench
2mm, 5mm hex/Allen wrenches

needed, adjust the leveler feet until your machine sits level and test if the issue persists [14516.A].
2.
Use the Start button on your console to begin a workout. Pedal your bike while listening for the source of the noise. If
the noise only happens while pedaling, skip to Step 4.
3.
If your machine is making noise with no one pedaling the machine, unplug the power adapter from both ends. Listen
to see if the noise goes away. Refer to the "Replace the Shrouds" section of the service manual. Use a Phillips head
screwdriver to remove the left side shroud and plug your bike back into power. Observe the servo motor & linkage fo
noise (reference 1).
a.
If the noise is caused by the linkage touching the frame or another component, use a small screwdriver to pry
the linkage out of the way of the interfering component and test if the noise persists [14516.B].
b.
If the servo motor is the source of the noise, ensure the linkage is tightened to the servo. If needed, tighten the
linkage using a 2mm Allen wrench and test if the noise persists [14516.C].
c.
