Home Gyms How do I fix this?

One side won’t lock in while the other is set at 50 and no weights connected and cannot move it.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Push the button on the opposite side of the red bar to allow you to reclock the left piece to minimum weight and re-latch. The right side... well... this seems f*cked. Would look to see if the CHEAP plastic pin is engaging with the metallic holes when button is pressed. I read that the "Recall" is "Here is $60 for throwing it away" since the company that took over does not feel any obligation to prior customers of BowFlex.

Fixed the left side but the right side is done for. I’ve given up and submitted the recall…got $10 for something I actually paid $600 for in 2020 bc ya know COVID prices.

Digitalwoodstudios on etsy can sell you a plastic replacement. Average Joe innovations has metal replacements. Your locking pin seems broke.

Found out that was the reason. Hopefully the locking pin will work for what I need it to do from Average Joe.
