If the electronic components of your treadmill are not working properly or you have recently performed maintenance on it, you might need to reset it. Resetting a treadmill is a relatively quick process. Just push your treadmill's reset button and then a few buttons on the console. Depending on the type of treadmill you have, there are three possible ways to reset it.
