A customer reports their elliptical makes a rhythmic clicking noise on every stroke. The most likely cause is:
- AA failing motor controller board
- BA loose pedal arm, crank bolt, or drive link
- CA running belt that is too loose
- DA worn resistance adjustment knob
Correct Answer
A loose pedal arm, crank bolt, or drive link
Explanation
Rhythmic clicking in sync with each pedal stroke typically points to a loose mechanical connection — pedal arm bolt, crank arm, drive link pivot, or loose hardware elsewhere in the drive train.
