I'd also suggest making sure all the bolts are tight. They loosen up over time and I find that giving them a quick tightening occasionally helps reduce squeaking noises.

Hi...i had a different problem...my sound was like the pads were glued in the rotors after some breaking times the noise went away. I keep the kit installed and this noise disappeared after couple months of use but this disappointed me. I expect a better performance but its a nice kit!

I don't have a squeaking noise on my trainer, but I had a semi-professional put it together and it is solid as a rock. In general, I use WD40 spray.

It definitely gets squeaky over time. I've had mine since January this year and it was so quiet at first, but the last two month it started getting loud and I can't find the source to quiet it down.

I don't remember it being loud, just a little motorized noise. You should return it and have it replaced if it's loud! Good luck!:)

No I haven't but try to remember when you assembled that part and what could be causing noise now. Can you take the pedal off and reattach it to see if that helps?

I had squeaking that sounded like it was coming from those wheels, but I did some research online and saw some people suggested loosening the screws on the pivot points just a half turn. I did that and the squeaking went away during the next workout (it took a few minutes but it did go away). I guess over-tightening them can cause squeaking where the pieces rub together. That's my experience anyways!

I absolutely adore my Toshiba, but this noise is driving me INSANE. Figured there was just some fur in there (I have two cats), but I'm glad to know that it's not just mine. I'm gonna try the oil thing. The tap didn't really work.

Mine worked perfectly. No noise at all. I will recommend you try changing just the brake pad only and see what happen. Maybe the surface of the disc is grained.

Mine squeek horribly. Called manufacturer and was told it was a known defect in the assembly process. I am waiting for replacements to be made.

I have had the same issue you must pull out will disconnected all the little papers that are stuck in the rollers that do not fall into the bin then it will run smooth again until you have to repeat the process.

I make sure to place lube on the track and I sprayed WD40 were the "pedals" can be adjusted. I also took the plastic covering off were the arms attach and realized it was the source of some of the noise. I WD40'd that area and replaced the covers. The noise or grinding sound stopped. Occassionally I still spray WD40 on the pedals. Ultimately you can call in the warranty folks for some troubleshooting if it is still a problem for you. I have had my elliptical for over a year and aside from the occassional noise it gets a lot of use!

My brand new one is extremely noisy as well. The sounds do not come from the belt passing along the treadmill or from my feet hitting the treadmill. There are loud rattles and squeaks that come from the area of the motor. Also, the entire treadmill deck bounces up and down a little when I run on it. So far, I am pretty unhappy with this expensive purchase.

If you never have done this before I would open it up and check for worn parts replace as needed or if not then reassemble with new grease and test. if it still makes noise the you have a bad part or parts or the electric motor is worn out.

I have a cart that I used for moving and use to move boxes around etc. I have never had this sound in mine but I would suggest contacting sparco themselves - also you probably have a warranty on it. If the sound comes from the wheels, it could be the bearings.

Mine does not sounds like something is off. I'd try cleaning both sets of tension discs and rethreading
