Treadmill squeaks when running

Fairly new and squeaks constantly while running.

Anonymous Dec 02, 2015

I didn't post the original question, but I have the same problem and lubricated the deck per the owner's manual.
?The squeaking is coming from the motor housing--sounds like either some springs or other joints in that part of the treadmill.
?I have noticed that the sound diminishes when I increase the incline.
Any ideas on what I can do?

Yes, and still squeaks with every step. Sprayed wd40 on evey hinge with it folded up and still squeaks.

Got it. It was the 2 main hinges that the deck lowers on. Sprayed them from the back of the unit with the deck down. Thanks!

Is that to do with the incline function of the treadmill. Thanks for letting me know how you got on with your squeaking problem

Precor treadmill making squeaking noise when running fast

Two likely candidates: Belt or tread. Lubricating the tread would be the easiest starting point; but if you're running at 7 or more you've probably already thought of that.
If the cover isn't too difficult to remove, you can expose the drive belt and the squeaking volume change would be an indicator that the drive belt is the problem.

Dryer sqeaks while it's running

This could be the result of a loose/worn belt, or worn drum roller bearings. Is it a constant squeal or a squeak......squeak.........squeak, basically in time with the RPM of the drum? If that is the case, get new drum bearings. If the former is the case, get a new belt.

Constant squeaking when running model # DNSR473EWOWW

You will need to replace the rear drum bearing,a fairly common concern on these models. you should also inspect the front bearing surface the drum rides on for wear since replacement of the rear bearing requires removal of the drum anyway, when ordering the rear bearing kit make sure it comes with the special high temp grease that is used on the rear bearing. Good Luck
