No fix but to replace it. Go to iconservice.com, click replacement parts, enter your full model number (on a decal somewhere on the machine), and you can order it there. If you decide to order and replace it, I can give you some guidance. If you're handy and have tools, you should be able to knock it out.

No, you don't need to oil or lube this treadmill. If the belt is squeaking get a bottle of treadmill lubricant and apply a small amount.
If the arms are squeaking a small shot of silicone spray will quiet them down.

First perform an incline calibration. The procedure is outlined in your users manual.
It is a simple procedure. Insert the safety key and start the machine in motion. Press the incline up button. While the numbers are increasing remove the safety key.
Now reinstall the safety key, the machine should incline to maximum then lower back down to minimum.
Now you can operate the treadmill, the incline should work.

Hello,

The console is all tied together, if some of the buttons stop working, you need to either get used to not using those buttons, or get a replacement console.

Hope this was helpfull, short and to the point, but helpfull :)

If you press start and the belt will not turn, but your incline is working, the time is counting and the speed #'s change. The problem would most likely be the lower control board. It could also be your motor. Have a professional test the motor with a DC voltage source. If it tests OK the problem is almost certainly the control board. Depending on the brand, some control boards have a fuse. Have the fuse checked and if it is bad replace it and try starting the treadmill again before you buy a new control board.

hi if this is happening then remove the front cover showing the motor, its sound s like the belt on the motor has eother slipped or just needs to be tightend more,

your roller ajustments are loose, loosing all the rollers front and back, re aline belt to center, tighten front roller first then tighten rear roller, Rear roller has 2 seperate ajusting allen bolts, 1 on each side, count the turns on each bolt when turning them inward, keep the count even turns on both allen bolts

Thats a common problem when the console fails.Does the incline work?

press and hold the stop button while placing the key on, then release and hit speed + or - I don't remember which right now. One turns the store demo on/off and the other is for mph/kph

replace the console, it is bad.

check to see that the speed sensor did not move with the actual relocation of the machine. You may also need to recalibrate the machine so that it can figure out its own speed settings. With the incline not working also that can lead to a bad motor controller and these can go bad with too much moving of a machine - any bumps in the road can cause the electronics to short out if it has been previously used - grounding electricity out of components prior to moving prevents this from happening so that the stored electricity does not discharge with bumps in the road

I have the same problem with this type of treadmill but only when running on it. I usually increase the incline to prevent it. I believe the tension on the belt has become loose. I have been looking for a guide on how to tighten it but havent come across one yet. If i find one ill post back with the link.

Most on/off reset switch are located right by the power cord in front of unit.

You may have a belt and deck problem. Test by the following procedure: without the power on stand on the walking belt, push the belt in the direction it normally turns, if the belt is very difficult to turn (on most treadmill) this means that you have high belt/deck friction. Apply silicone lubricant between belt and deck beginning laterally at the motor shroud to end of the rear roller on each side
The deck should be smooth without any grooves, pits, or exposed wood. The belt should have a consistent ridged feel from one side of the belt to the other (a belt can be worn out without any sensory signs of a problem). If you feel deep grooves in the deck or uneven wear on the underside of the belt, part replacement is necessary. Visually look at the underside of the belt. It should have a consistent look. Black streaks in the belt are a sign of bottom-layer wear through. Very worn belts will feel smooth in the areas you normally walk- you would think smooth is good but not in belts because the smoother the belt, the more contact area. On occasion, you may have already damaged the DC board if you have high belt/deck friction. If the belt walks freely, you have a different problem. 2. If it passes the belt/deck checks, you may have a DC board output problem. If the belt tests ok and you have a speed variation, try this test:
Set the speed to 2.5 MPH. Let the treadmill run without anyone on the belt. Check to see if the speed is constant or if there is a variation.
If there is no variation, step on the belt. If the speed slows down or speeds up, you may have an output problem on the DC board. This is the board that connects directly to the motor.
You may have a short in the motor. If you turn the machine on and have erratic speed, you could have a problem in the DC board or the motor or both. With a simple multi-meter, you can test on the continuity scale to see if you have a closed circuit between either DC motor lead and the common earth ground. You should always have an open circuit.
You may have a speed signal problem. Your controls on the upper panel send a signal to the lower electronics to help them set the appropriate speed. If there is a problem in the signal generator, the communication links, or in the feedback links, you will have erratic speed operation.
Communications test- Look on the board for a flashing signal as you increase speed on the treadmill. Most boards have a signal feedback test light. If a LED flashes, your communication is ok.
Feedback test- If your unit is equipped with an optical feedback (disk inside a sensor) you can swap the feedback unit with the incline (it is the same part on many Icon machines). If it tests ok, you don’t have a problem here. If it is a magnetic feedback unit, you can test continuity with a multi meter or replace with a new part to test. Many times passing a kitchen magnet in front of the signal will make a speed display on the console if the magnetic sensor is good.
Signal Generator- If you have a problem with the signal generator, your speed will be erratic with either a person on the machine or without a person on the machine. You may even get a speed error code from the unit.

Walking Belt is Worn: The only certain way to test for a worn walking belt is to take a DC amp draw (if you have a DC treadmill) or an AC draw (for AC). Trying to look at the belt or a feel test is highly unreliable. Better tests, if you lack a DC ammeter (they are expensive for a good one), are a coast test or an incline test. The coast test is to get on the treadmill as the lowest incline setting and walk on the treadmill at 3 MPH. Pull the safety key and it should take you 2-3 full steps to stop (this is a general rule…some like a few Tunturi models stop on a dime even with a healthy belt but for most models, this tests works well upon). Fewer steps indicate high friction. The incline test is to put the treadmill at max incline and walk on it at 3 MPH. If the treadmill operates normally at max incline but bogs down at minimum incline, replace the walking belt. Gravity takes over for the drive system eliminating much of the friction problem. On some heavily worn walking belts, this test will not eliminate the problem. Go to your local hard ware store and purchase silicone spray. Apply Lubricant by lift one side of the running belt spray contents length wise starting at motor shroud to the back end repeat this process on the other side. If this unit bogs down again then you will have replace the running belt and possibly the deck

does is just not move when you're standing on it, or not even move when you're not standing on it. It may be a simple belt adjustment or if the motor is running but there's no track movement you may be looking at a loose/broken drive belt. Take the cover off, start it up and look at the motor/drive pulley assembly. If the motor turns and the front roller doesn't, tension the drive motor by moving it back. If the front roller turns but the track doesnt, do a track adjustment as per your users manual.

The deck needs to be lubricated. The lubricant can be purchase @ gympart.com. LUBRICATION PROCEDURE: 1. Turn off and unplug treadmill. 2. Cut off the end of the tube of lubricant. 3. Holding the tube in one hand, insert the tube underneath the treadbelt halfway between front and back and halfway between right and left. 4. Squeeze the full contents of the tube onto the deck in a circular pattern in the center 1/3 of the deck. 5. Plug in and turn on treadmill, then walk normally on treadmill at 0.5 mph for five minutes
