Your investment in the Peloton Bike, both in terms of time and money, naturally comes with the expectation of seamless functionality. However, in reality, electronic devices may encounter occasional issues, particularly following software updates.
If you’re experiencing unexpected freezing, resistance discrepancies post-calibration, or ongoing Wi-Fi connectivity problems with your Peloton stationary Bike or Treadmill, performing a reset on your Peloton equipment is a straightforward troubleshooting step to consider.
Why Resetting Your Peloton is Essential
Buffering Problems Issues like app freezes and screen blackouts, often referred to as the ‘death screen,’ are not uncommon with Peloton bikes. These problems can stem from both hardware and software glitches. Customers have also reported class buffering problems, which disrupt video streaming, typically occurring after the first year of use. Class buffering involves the Peloton bike’s networked component preloading video content to ensure uninterrupted playback.
Bluetooth Sync Glitches Technical hiccups related to the headphone jack and live class interruptions during other live sessions have been observed with Peloton cycles. Even when headphones are connected, some customers experience sound leakage from the monitor. Troubles with Bluetooth synchronization, especially with certain headphones, have also been reported.
To address Bluetooth-related issues or pairing problems, it’s advisable to check your internet speed and clear the cache. However, the steps may vary depending on the specific problem.
‘No Command’ Error Encountering the ‘No Command’ screen on your Peloton may indicate issues with the Android loader or the tablet. Users experiencing this problem have sought tablet replacements from Peloton, with the ‘Resting’ Android robot on boot-up suggesting a failed update as a possible cause. For Android-based devices, checking for updates in recovery mode is recommended.
Peloton Not Powering On In some cases, Peloton bikes may simply refuse to turn on. If you find yourself in this situation, a reset could be the solution to get your Peloton bike or Bike+ back in working order.
How to Factory Reset Your Peloton:
- Turn off your touchscreen by holding down the power button on top and selecting “Shutdown.”
- Once the touchscreen is off, press and hold the Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously until the Peloton logo appears, then release them. This action will put your touchscreen into Recovery Mode.
- You can navigate to “erase [all user] data/factory reset” using the volume buttons, then press the power button to select it.
- If you wish to erase all user data, select “Yes – delete all user data.”
- After data deletion, select “reboot system now.”
Upon restarting, you’ll be prompted to connect to your wireless network, and the latest Peloton app version will be downloaded automatically. Follow the standard login steps to get back on your bike.
How to Clear the Peloton Cache: If the above procedures don’t resolve your issues, you can also use the storage technique to clear the cache.
- Tap the three dots in the bottom right corner of the screen to access ‘Device settings.’
- Navigate to ‘Apps’ and select ‘Peloton.’
- You can clear the cache by tapping ‘Storage.’
After clearing the cache, it’s crucial to turn off the bike and unplug it for 10-15 seconds before attempting to use it again. This disconnecting step is essential after cache clearance.
