I have a Proform XP 650 E that the incline motor broke on. I replaced the motor, and now the incline is working, however there is now a strong vibration from the machine. On a side note, the lowest incline level is now slightly higher than before, but I'm guessing that is in the motor I bought as there was no way I could see to adjust the low incline height on the motor. The big issue is the vibration, any ideas?

  • Place a mat under your treadmill. You can buy a treadmill mat at any sporting goods store and most major discount stores such as Wal-Mart or Target. Treadmill mats are made of heavy-duty rubber or foam and are specifically designed to absorb the vibrations caused by the everyday use of a treadmill. Treadmill mats greatly reduce the noise caused when a person runs on a treadmill, and are especially helpful if you live in an apartment and have neighbors immediately below you.
  • 2 Tighten or replace the belt on your treadmill. A loose or worn belt will cause your treadmill to vibrate excessively. You can buy replacement belts at many sporting goods outlets or directly from your treadmill's manufacturer. Refer to your user's guide for instructions regarding how to tighten or replace the belt, as well as the size and type of replacement belt required by your treadmill.
  • 3 Secure all ancillary parts of your treadmill. Be sure that the rails, console and housing are in place and fastened tightly to the body of the treadmill. Tighten any loose screws or bolts

  • Additional: Level the machine with a good level 2) put a little oil to the shaft of incline motor c) to line up the incline motor

    Why does my Proform 650 LT beep at me and not work?

    A power reset is the only help given. One article suggests a factory reset for 3 or 4 beeps.

    Proform xp 550e had a problem with incline...plastic guide piece was brittle and broke apart....hubby made a new guide piece... Incline & incline motor now works perfectly provided you hot wire it! ...

    Hi There, I think the motor control board, or MCB, has a couple of Triacs (Transistor looking things) bolted together on that unit. The lift motor plugs in near them. If one of these Triacs shorts or is damaged, it will act "Live" at the connector, and drive up or down constantly, pinching and/or damaging the lift. There are a few causes of constant elevation in either direction....
    1) Up / Down key stuck
    2) Bad logic signal from the console(unusual)
    3) Pinched or damaged console cable
    4) Shorted Triac or failing MCB

    You can contact jatinah electronics for repair at 75 for these units. Good Luck!

    The incline on my proform treadmill is not working and now I can't get the treadmill to start, it just keeps inclining up and down

    ICON CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS- INCLINE
    1) Press the Stop and the Speed Up keys down while inserting the safety key.
    2) Press the Stop key one time. The Time window should read EP:2P. Some newer models may also say FP, Pass, or the like. This means that it passes the EPROM test.
    3) Press either incline key and the incline will calibrate automatically.
    4) THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP BECAUSE YOU WILL GET AN ERROR MESSAGE IF THIS STEP IS SKIPPED.After completing calibration of incline, press the Stop key and then remove the safety key.



    If the incline moves but you it will not operate normally nor calibrate, check the wiring from the incline sensor to the power board. If all looks normal, put it back in calibration and see if you see a blinking “- -” symbol in the incline window when you are calibrating. If not, the incline sensor is bad.

    If the incline moves but only just a bit, it could be a problem as simple as the gearbox on the motor being jammed. We remove the motor from the treadmill, reconnect the wiring, and then try to run the incline motor outside the treadmill. Many times, this will unjam it if that is the problem and then reinstalling it in the treadmill will get it to work. If you have the same problem or it doesn’t run outside the machine and you can hear it try to work, you need to replace the incline motor.

    If the incline motor does not move, we need to figure out if the motor is getting voltage. Use a simple multi-meter and set it to AC volts. When you put it into calibration, it tries to calibrate the directions one at a time. Measure across the white and black wires first, then measure across the white and red wires second. If the motor is getting voltage you will read 120VAC (or
    thereabouts) one one of the measurements. If you have voltage but the motor won't move, you need to replace the motor.
    4.
    If the incline motor does not move and you have done the voltage test and you do not have any voltage present, there is a problem in the electronics board that supplies the power. If the console is powering the drive motor as normal, you can bet it is getting an incline signal and the power board needs to be replaced (some models have an integrated power board/controller) so if there is only a single board the whole board has to be replaced. It is possible the console is not giving the proper signal but we've never seen it happen in thousands of treadmills.

    Treadmill will not maintain the correct speed.

    You can get a book by calling 1-800-999-3756. The treadmill you are usine in a cheaper model. the motors on those units are not that strong. when you incline your unit gravity make the belt move faster. Remember incline put a lot of pressure on you lower spine. This can cause injury for some.
