I purchased the Tresanti motorized sit/stand desk from Costco 4 months ago, and I think I found out why it was such a great deal compared to other desks.
This morning, it wouldn't move up from lowest position. It says "top" after about a half second movement, maybe 1/4". There is a new sound on the left side that sounds like a loose clunking. I would guess there is a mechanical sensor that is supposed to stop the desk at the top of movement, and perhaps that is loose and triggering too soon.
Anyway, that's just a guess, and I'll probably take it apart to try and fix. Since the desk is no longer in stock, Costco will take a return disassembled via UPS and assembled if I take it to the store. Other sit/stand desks are several hundred more than this, so trying to fix seems worthwhile.
Has anyone experienced this?

I was able to fix. One of those three appears to be a sensor that stops motor at top/bottom. It’s the ~1/8” jack looks like headphones. Unplug that one only, move desk up a bit, then plug back in.
FWIW Tresanti sent me a motor replacement before even talking to me about the issue, then I found out how to fix it while it was in the mail. Free extra parts?
My guess is the desk moved past the sensor and sensor is tripped while moving it back up.
This just fixed my desk 4yrs on still saving the day!

Just got my new tresanti desk from Costco and have had nothing but problems ever since turning it on. Constantly getting E3 errors and now it’s all the way up but it says it’s “bot” so I can’t go down. Tried reset but that doesn’t do anything. Anyone have this problem? Gives me E4 and E3 which both say are about power. Can’t figure it out. Decided to go to bed. Hoping for better luck tomorrow.
I need help troubleshooting my brand new tresanti desk I got from Costco (haven't even worked a day yet with it).
It appears that the measurement is off on the desk meaning when I press down it says "bot" but the desk is in a standing position (probably was 40ish inches when I put it in this place). My preferred sitting height is where it usually would bottom out, but now I can't get it to go down.
I've read the other troubleshooting posts and when I disconnect the headphone-like jack it disconnects the power to the controls so I can't move the desk. If I move the desk up as high as it will go it eventually sends an E2 error and never reached 'top."
Does anyone have experience with this issue? The desk is functioning fine (no unusual sounds, feels smooth), it just has the height counter wrong.
TLDR; my new desk says its at 'bot' when it really is a standing position and I need help resetting the height orientation. TIA
