Hi,
Here is a start to resolve your current Treadmill problem:
Here is a start to resolve your current Treadmill problem:
Make sure the treadmill is not on a GFCI, power strip, or extension cord. If you must have it on an extension cord, it should be as short as possible and get a heavy cord that is 10 or 12 gauge. Do NOT use 14 gauge or higher.
Make sure the treadmill is on a single outlet surge suppressor. Power surges can damage expensive electrical parts. Their Deluxe Surge Suppressor is guaranteed to take up to a lightning strike.
Check the walking belt for friction. You can make a treadmill last much longer by aggressively replacing the walking belt and keeping it lubed. It is one of the cheapest parts to replace and it relatively easy to replace and costs much less than a controller or motor. Make sure the belt stays lubricated at the least.
Check the motor for arching. Check brushes if it is arching and replace the brushes or the motor if motor has high resistance.
If you have adjusted the belts lately, make sure the walking belt is not too tight. Overtightened belts can cause the walking belt to slow during use and overheat the motor.
If there is another issue after you have checked and followed the previously mention procedures, please add a comment to the page for me to respond or another expert to respond to, in order us to help you quickly.
Are you able to perform diagnosis / problem solving using a volt meter to measure electrical current? Thank you.

If this is the case, then most likely you`ll need a new belt for your treadmill. Inconsistent speed can also be caused by loose connectors to the motor, lack of lubrication or required maintenance to the belt. Further, worn out or moving parts can be related to the inconsistent speed caused by the motor and the belt.
If you`re having issues with the treadmill belt not responding to speed requests or being erratic with speed, it could be a wiring issue with the reed switch or speed sensor not properly communicating with the motor control board. However, it could also be a faulty drive motor.
Check the drive belt for proper alignment. With the cover still off, check over the wire and cable connections, as they may have become loose or disconnected during shipping or assembly. Make sure connections are secure and no wires are crimped, damaged, disconnected or burnt.
Treadmill: Why does my treadmill`s walking belt slow down? A damaged walking belt, improper belt tension, lack of belt lubricant or a bad drive motor can cause the walking belt to slow down when you step on the belt. Unplug the treadmill, then check the walking belt for damage and replace the belt if it`s torn.
The most simple and most common cause of this problem is the lack of lubrication. It`s imperative to lubricate all the parts involved in the treadmill`s movement, including the running belt, drive belt, and deck.
This is likely to be a problem with the wire connection. We would suggest you check all the wire connections on the treadmill starting at the base of the machine and working your way up to the right hand handrail connection.
Run your hand along the underside and top to check for signs of excessive wear. This may come in the form of discoloration or extreme smoothness. Discoloration for most treadmill belts will seem dark, almost black. And if some areas are too smooth, then it may be a sign that you need a treadmill belt replacement.
Most treadmills are poorly calibrated. If you pick a treadmill at random, step onto the belt, and set the speed at 7.0 mph, you might actually be running at 6.6 mph, 6.9 mph, or 7.3 mph.
Feeling dizzy after using the treadmill is caused by a disconnect between your body and brain — your brain thinks that you`re moving forward in space, but your body is actually staying in the same place (with its legs moving).

It`s important to note, however, that treadmills may not always provide an accurate measurement of distance. Over time, a treadmill belt will sustain slight wear and tear. This can stretch the belt slightly, causing the treadmill to give a slightly inaccurate distance reading.

My swimming pool. I have just had my fifth IC 40 Intellichlor chlorine generator installed in 4 years at a cost of over $900 today. Each one has worked for no more than 8 months. The first three were replaces under three year warranty, the fourth by a factory rep and I bought the fifth today. The first three all failed with Flow Chk PCB error message. The fourth just stopped working on Sunday, no power or lights. A local Pentair warranty person, whom I paid a Service Call, unplugged the unit, opened the small power center cover, showed me the green light indicating that there was power, plugged in a new IC 40 which worked immediately (as did the other four). I asked if I should replace the power center and he said that it’s basically just a transformer and is working fine. We do get occasional power blips that make the clocks on microwaves, etc blink, but I thought that the power center essentially isolates the cell from these. I do have a Florida Power and Light surge protector on the electrical box that brings power into the house. I have now talked to the pool builder, two Pentair warranty repairmen and one factory rep. I am at a loss. They all tell me they have no idea why these units fail after less than a year. This last IC 40 was installed 3/24/2010, version 2.0 and now failed in less than 5 months. Should I replace the power center that the IC 40 plugs into. Any other suggestions. I have been told that this is the best chlorinator. I don’t want to keep replacing units. By the way, each unit had been spotless inside. I keep the water chemicals and salt levels at ideal levels. The units have never worked long enough to get dirty inside. The power center is connected to an Intellitouch control system outside with an indoor control panel. Last time I called Pentair North Carolina and got some smart alec tech person that had no suggestions. Please Help if you can.
ANSWER : I’ve had the same experiance. On my fifth one as well. Fail every year. No idea why.

I have an 8100 ES Reebok treadmill. There is a squeaking noise coming from the drive motor. It is coming from the non-belt side (if facing the front of the treadmill, the left of the drive motor. When the treadmill is turned off, I can manually move the walking belt in the walking / running direction and it will squeak. If I move it in the opposite direction, manually it does not squeak. Also, if I need to lubricate the bearings can you tell me how to get to them to do this. The motor has plenty of power and no other problems, only squeaking. I have sprayed a belt lubricant on the belt and also blown it all out with a can of compressed air (used for computer key boards).
ANSWER : Hi.the bearings in these machines should be lubricated and sealed for life. they are not designed to be touched. it sounds like you have done the important bits. belt lubrication and blowing out any debris that may be there. squeaks like this can be incredibly difficult to find, but can also be incredibly annoying.the main things that you can do is keep watching to try and find exactly where the squeak is coming from and check for anything wrapped around the edge of the roller.keep using the belt spray, and the compessed air.a good grade silicone lubricating spray used at the edges of the rollers, by the bearings and around the motor and gearbox unit may also help but do not get this spray on the belt as it can be very slippery.squeaks like this can start and stop on their own or develop slowly and go just as slowly.keep doing the maintenance you are doing, and use the silicone spray as described above.it may take a little while for the spray to work its way into the bearings as they are fairly well sealed but you should notice an improvement after a few days.please feel free to ask for further advice if you need

Recently, I was using my Horizon CST 4.5 treadmill when the power on the treadmill and the room it was housed in went out. I reset the cicuit breaker and tried to get back on the treadmill. It turned back on, counted down from 3, and the time began however the running surface(track) would not move. I lifted the front end where the motor and belts are housed. I noticed that the belt was still intact. Unsure if motor is burnt out. Any help would be appreciated.
ANSWER : There is usually a small breaker on treadmills that pops out and you have to push it in to reset it. Take a look around the front of the treadmill and see if you can locate the breaker and reset it and the treadmill should work normally.
