SOURCE: It has stopped and smells like a motor is burning

Ok! how I say, just send your motor DC to repair, at the same time, check the engine controller. any diode or mosfet is bad or damage

SOURCE: my sportsart 6150 treadmill gives an error code 1

I would say that it could possibly be a speed densor fault as error one means loss of speed signal!! If the mat moves first then error one shows i would change sensor before changing anything else, if the mat does not move it could be a lower control board fault.

An visual inspection must be made under the motor hood. First unplugged unit then remove motor shroud clean any dirt or debris.Then check for any visible signs of burning on the Motor Control Board. Also check in the front where the power switch is, that may have burned if not, there should be a main fuse holder that also could burn or fuse may have opened up. If the fuse holder is good then proceed to the fuse if it has opened up replace the fuse. Then plug unit back in while you are look at all components while someone initiate start-up and if any burning is visible then isolate what component is burning or arching. Then go to Sports Art Fitness.com go to customer service and get their international number and they should be able assist you.

Because you are hearing the lift motor making a noise, it sounds like the gears in the motor are bad. The fix is to replace the lift motor.

SOURCE: Sportsart 3200 Treadmill Belt motor problem

5v DC equals .5 mph every 10v equates to 1 mph try increasing the speed if the DC voltage increases that means the motor control is working properly, then go back to the drive motor and check the motor brushes even though you have used a DC power source. They sometimes will not seat correctly and cause no belt movement, use a commutator stone a clean up the commutator arm.

Bamix dealers vancouver bc

This could be a bad elevation motor, but could also just be the nylon gears inside the lift motor. I am attaching two links. One is to the service manual and the other is to the parts for this model. This should help you get to the bottom of this and get it fixed. http://www.sportsmith.net/images/product_support/sportsart/Repair%20Manuals/General%20Treadmill%20Svc%20Manual.pdf

KA 600 is making a clinking noise when mixing.

Tll,
It sounds like it could be an issue with the gear, the motor housing could have a crack in it. The problem could be much more involved as well. Put the unit on the slowest speed and see if you can stop the mixer from spinning. If it hiccups or stutters, that means you have a stripped gear. If you cannot stop the unit using your hand ON THE SLOWEST speed then there could be a problem with the motor housing or the motor itself not being held in place properly.

Sportsart 1200 drive motor has clicking sound and smells

If you can walk on your treadmill but you get a burning smell from it, you have a bad problem and discontinue use immediately and unplug the treadmill.

Burning smells are most commonly associated with the following problems:

1) Very high belt/deck friction.

2) Short in the motor.

3) Short in the wiring or electronics.

4) Literally cooking the lacquer or cardboard core (on cheap machines) in the motor from belt friction or a drive system

obstruction.

Friction is the #1 cause of this problem. Many cheaper treadmills have a motor with a cardboard core (people wonder why we are so

down on cheap treadmills) and if the voltage and amperage through the motor heats it up sufficiently, it begins to smolder. If this is the

case, you normally have to replace the belt and the motor and inspect the deck. If the armature has cooked enough in the motor, you

also have to replace the motor.

If the belt and deck check out OK, check for a short in the motor. You can run the motor with an independent power source like a fullycharged

cordless drill battery to see if the symptoms are the same. Click on the following link for our motor test.

If the belt and deck check out and the motor is OK, then check your wiring and electronics for signs of scorching and replace the

appropriate part(s).

SPORTSART 6300 SHOWING E 1

Error 1 come up when the drive motor is not moving. Unplug unit then remove motor shroud then plug unit back in and you will see a circuit board with multiple lights. On Lower portion of the board you should be able to see a amber LED this is your speed sensor light . To test the speed sensor just manually rotate motor fly wheel ( where Drive Belt is visible) and you should be able to see the amber light flickering that means speed sensor is good. Next thing to do is unplug unit and check the motor they sometime get stuck in their chamber so be gentle pulling them out and blow out the excess carbon material out of motor wear a mask when doing the black dust can be much then re assert motor brushes and it should take care of problem. If they are worn (less than 3/8 in. in length) then call Sports Art @1-866-709-1750 the people their are good to work with and any further question they will be able to answer.
