Hi Geoff,

if it is contain belts please check.and try to move running belt it must run freely.sometimes it must stuck because of long idle time.
in electronic circuit the large smoothing capacitors can be damage because of long idling time too.

regards.

SOURCE: Nordictrack motor will not run when start button is pushed.

Likely the cover of one of the motor brushes popped off. Unplug the machine before you pop it back in place, then try it again.

If that doesn't work, most likely it's the motor control board, or possibly the console, or finally just a loose connection behind the console.


But most likely, it's the motor brush cover. I've been seeing that alot with this model.

SOURCE: My Healthrider 400se Treadmill slows down after 10seconds

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor
(TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated
for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a
monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indicate
whether it is functioning properly. Failure to
use a properly functioning surge suppressor could
result in damage to the control system of the
treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the
walking belt may change speed or stop unexpectedly,
which may result in a fall and serious injury.

HI,
If you can then before replacing the Motor control board do one thing. Replace the IGBT on the control board. Igbt is the component which drive the motor. It will not cost a lot. The only thing is you should be very careful while working on the motor control board because there you can see two capacitors which is capable of store charge for a long period of time even the treadmill is unplugged. Before doing work on the control board you have to discharge the capacitor. If not it will lead to serious electric shock. You will get many pages on web to know how to discharge an electrolytic capacitor. I have add the picture of the motor control board with the igbt marked. You can find the part number written in its frond side. Replace the IGBT first.

SOURCE: My treadmill is locked in the max incline position and controls won't respond

Run the software calibration for diagnose, troubleshooting, and fix it.
2) clean the gear and shaft from elevation motor.
3) adjust the POT for better improvement.

My HEALTHRIDER H95T treadmill is stuck in the fully elevated (level 12) angle on the platform and will not move

The incline motor is jammed due to a faulty incline sensor or incline motor assy. This is somewhat hazardous if you do not know what you are doing to remove the incline motor. Sometimes you can repair it most of the time you replace the incline motor assy. Must be calibrated upon completion.

Healthrider s300i treadmill does not turn on

Check the fuses under the lower hood. One should be a 10 amp fues, the other should be 15 amp fuse.

Replace them if blown. If they should blow again, move the treadmil to an outlet closer to the fuse box/breaker box of the house. the house wiring where you have the treadmill may not be adequate for the treadmill.

My health rider treadmill s300se is stuck in the highest incline position. How do i get it level again?

Try putting the key in while holding the down incline button in. This resets the height mechanism. Repeat with the up incline button.

Worked for me.
