This video helped me rule out a bunch of possible issues. I ended up calling Treadmill Heros for additional help when I ran out of ideas. They were able to diagnose that the root cause over the phone and hook me up with a new controller board. A way cheaper solution than getting a new treadmill. Plus resurrecting this one keeps it out of the landfill! Thanks guys!!!
Your video helped me troubleshoot and repair a Nordic Track X11i that stopped working after it was moved. My fault wound up being a pinched wire harness causing a short circuit on the PWM wire going from computer to the motor driver board. Thanks for posting this.
Hey buddy, can you explain me how you fixed your pnw wire,,I did the same thing after I moved it I pinched the harness and now it won't start, I replaced the harness but still no power to the motor, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Same here. Was working fine then got moved around a little now it trips the breaker as soon as you turn the the reset switch back on. I’m pretty sure there is a ground fault in there. Most likely pinched wire or hot and ground touching somewhere.
Excellent video. Safety switch off. I jumpered it. Still shows off. Could a defective motor heat sensor cause it to show that the safety switch is off?
Great video, just went through your diagnosis steps and it appears I my thermal sensor is bad according to your video (no ohms OL) but it looks like it is near the bottom of my motor on my A2250, not sure how to get to that without removing the motor. Also I don't see a magnet on my speed sensor. Unit has over 5500 miles on it. So it could be multiple issues. Could the motor brush be bad? Thanks again!
How do you get the motor cover off of my old C2300 Nordictrack treadmill? I took 3 srews off at the front, but still holding and can't find any more screws to take out!
I have a treadmill that runs, but it generates a strong electrical smell. What are some of the most likely causes and what can be done to diagnose the problem? Thank you.
Wow what a great video. Well done. Can you help me. I have a sports Art TR33 v2.3. It was in storage for a few months. When I set it up in my new gym, it blew the main fuse. Replaced fuse turned on, blew again as well as a little smoke from the motor drive circuit board. I sent the board off to the company I purchased from 12 years ago. He replaced a couple of resistors but had no test bench to test. When I put the board back in, turned on the control panel was fine, I set up my usual settings, then pushed start and “puff” of smoke from the circuit board. Machine now completely dead. I can possibly get a used board out of the USA and sent to New Zealand. (The company you mentioned doesn’t have one) but I’m worried I may put a perfectly good board in and it blows again due to some other product failure not in the board. Do I need to replace the board with exactly the same version. Ie V2.3 My machine was running so well before storage and is really expensive to replace I want to try a fix first. Not too worried about cost at this stage (within reason!) Any help you can give me would be really appreciated Michael Parker from New Zealand
I have a question if ya dont mind? My tread mill pulses. Speeds up a few mph then slows back down. A pulse cycle is about 2 seconds. I watched your videos and couldn't quite find that problem. Phenomenal videos though! Very well explained.
@treadheroes thank you for your video. I "liked" and subscribed. My issue isnt' any of these. The Console Board is getting power, it just never fully "boots" up... it looks like a constant "loading" screen where there is a bar that builds from left to right, over and over again. Pressing "Start" does nothing. It worked pretty recently but this has happened before and after some tinkering (I didn't do much other than let it calibrate a few times). It seems like its trying to load the base software? Or, trying to connect to a Wifi?Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
If the max weight capacity for the treadmill was exceeded and the machine shut down & trips the fuse on the fuse board every time the treadmill turns on and counts down (so only when the motor goes to engage) what in the motor is damaged and is it repairable? I’ve disconnected the motor from the board and it doesn’t trip out when I do that it only trips when the motor is connected. Is the motor fecked or can a heat sensor or brush or something be replaced? I’ve done the battery test and the motor spins fine. Any help much appreciated.
Great video! Maybe you can help me with my Pro-form that is acting rather strange. I am biased toward believing it’s my motor but, before buying a replacement, maybe you have some insight as to what you have experienced. The treadmill was working daily without any problems, but on one particular morning, my wife turned it on and was running and the belt immediately raced into high speed. Then tripped the circuit breaker in the house. At that point, we reset the breaker and attempted to turn on the treadmill again, it immediately went into high speed and shut down, but did not trip the circuit breaker in the house. I opened it up and found that the MOSFET was shorted out. I ordered and replace the MOS. I then powered it up and without a load on the belt it was working just fine. We could step up the speed step down the speed and all the functions seem to be OK but as soon as we got on the treadmill and put a load on it, it immediately blew the MOS again. I replaced the MOS second time and it is still behaving the way it behaved the first time I replaced the part. I’m thinking that a load on the motor is drawing excessive current and overdriving the control board. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
As per our experience and expertise, when the MOSFET fails in any NordicTrack or ProForm treadmill, you need to replace the motor. Without replacing the motor, your control board will not be able to run the treadmill motor, even if you have fixed the control board.
Hoping you can help. I have a 2008 Nordictrack 6100xi (yes old but is great shape) on the underneath o of the deck on each side of walking belt are brackets that little rolling cylinders are attached to (isolators ?) . My question is does the walking belt slightly bend up against the cylinder proving a guide to the belt. If I instead put the belt above the metal bracket then the bolt scrapes against the belt. Hopefully I am understandable
My NordicTrac treadmill, T7.5S , gives an error that the treadmill is not communicating to the console. I just took it apart to move it to another room. I've checked the 8 pin connector, all pins are OK. I removed all connectors and reinstalled them. No loose connectors. There is a solid green LED and a solid red LED on the board. Any ideas? The console works, just cannot find the treadmill.
I have a nordictrack 7.2.Was working fine.Was idle for a month then used again for 30 minutes Worked fine..Went to use it again motor pulses then Electrical trip switch fires up.Im thinking motor?
What about a smashed touchscreen on a T14 ? There are glass (?) pieces behind the plastic top screen and the unit is randomly beeping and the display switches between 2 different ones. Belt did once start to spin up but then stopped.
Did i miss it? What about speed calibration? I followed your troubleshooting instructions and discovered a bad control board. Replace the board and now the speed is waaay off. I have a nordictrack 10i. And idea how to recalibrate the speed? Thanks. Ben
Sir. I have a pro form power 795 proshox cushioning model. The panel comes on incline works fine but it will not spin motor to run treadmill. Help what do you recommend I can take care of you if you can fix it
I have a proform crosswalk 395 i use daily. Went to use tonight and it turns on.. timer and speed show on screen but belt does not move. Took the main panel off and control board light is on. Blinks when i hit start but nothing happens.. would you say its the motor not working?
Hi, I have a NordicTrack T11.5. The power on the console is on, but the start button is not starting the machine, please can you advise. I've tested the motor and its working perfectly. Thanks in advance.
I have a Profrom 415CT treadmill that was working fine, then yesterday, put in magnet to start, it came up like normal, but the only buttons that worked are the "quick 200 Cals", "Quick 2 miles" and #5 %upgrade and down incline buttons. Nothing else. The go, stop, speed, up incline all speed and all include (except 5) buttons. I pulled and re-seated the two console ribbons, but no change. Any ideas? I pulled the console off, but don't see anything burnt on the boards.
I have a weslo running machine I was running and it stared smoking and the belt go really hot on my feet what is wrong with it? so the key pad does work but the belt doesn't move at all. I need HELP
My Golds Gym 430i quit working after an update, the phone see's the update did not finish in the treadmill, but it can't finish.. any clue what I can do?
Hm.. I cant turn the belt 90 degrees but it also has shavings so I am confused lol I also saw how to take the belt off but don't know what to do if the belt is too tight on the front. Ill have to try that drawing a line test.
Does anyone know how to put the thermal sensor back on motor I tried digging it out and it had a spring that popped all three wires out before I was able to see how they where placed. nordic track ntl 2011.6 thermal sensor replacement. Nordic track X9i unit. Also am trying to figure out why it won't start? Intially that was the issue. It gets power to motor 120 volts, however the DC volts on board are 6-9 volts when plugged in no matter if belt running or not.
I have an Epic A35T. The unit powers up, however screen light up but no images. The machine allows me to raise incline and to change console height. It has had the Console replaced before under warranty. Looks as if epic is no longer in business. What's your thoughts? Find replacement console? buy new treadmill?
C2255 Nordic Track motor works, console lights up however beeps three times. Cannot get the treadmill to change screen from the initial lightup and have a continuous 3 beep. Console bad?
I have a treadmill 2003 Landice L8 few days ago stopped working it has a L5/LS code and the screen says safety shutdown lost of signal what can cause this issue? thank you
Like I was saying it runs for a couple minutes and then it stops pushed up and restart it. It goes 1015 minutes and I have to restart it. I can turn it on it only runs for 10 seconds
My Pro-form crosswalk 3.0 XT treadmill was working ,had not used in weeks .now it won't work ..The Panel does light up .when I turn it on the belt will run about 30 seconds then quit .Can you help me ?
My Nordictrack treadmill stops one minute after I step on it. Once I get off the belt, it moves again right away. Does anyone have an advise on how to fix this?
Bought a Nordictrack commercial 2950 back in 2015 and the brain died in 2021. it's basically a kindle pad console with wires comings from it and the part was discontinued in 2019. So, I have a giant brick upstairs. Read power value to the console brain and they were all good. It's just bad, that this little kindle type pad turned this monster into scrap metal.
Proform CARBON T10 - PFTL99720.0 treadmill turns on, screen lights up shows logo, sits there loading and does nothing but hit retry, it beeps when you hit retry but does nothing,,,, fans work on it, incline works.... speed does nothing but beep,, any idea ?
repair guy replaced bearings in my elite 900 motor and when he reinstalled it capacitor started smoking and now it wont turn on at all,only 60hrs on it
I love you man you’re very good, but it didn’t really tell me anything as far as we getting on my treadmill running for a minute and stopping grease push us some and then restart and it running for 5 PM 15 minutes
Very informative and thorough. Subscribed!

My display went blank blue light but buttons work is there a fuse for visualization?
Joe
Should a red light be linking on the control panel? great vid!!
Looking to replace the walking belt on my X9i but can’t find a video on it. I have the replacement part. Do you have a video?
I have a treadmill that runs, but it generates a strong electrical smell. What are some of the most likely causes and what can be done to diagnose the problem? Thank you.
Have you been pretty regular in lubricating the belt and deck?
@@treadheroes Agreed, regular oiling and servicing will extend the lifespan of your treadmill.
Very good, here in Portugal all machines when not function is to go to trash. Good work Sir!
Maybe I missed it but, how did you get the belt back on?
How do I reach out to you guys for assistance? I think I need a new mother board for my tread

I have epic 550 treadmill. Watched your video. My treadmill motor is not getting dc from board when you hit start. What do I do next?
I have a pro-form 540 interactive trainer.
It runs on speed 1 and 4.
I want to run on 2 or 3.
What's wrong?
Interesting…. Just the quick keys on the 2 or 3 don’t change the speed ? Can you make it go 2 or 3 mph when you use the speed up button?
I have a nordictrack 7.2.Was working fine.Was idle for a month then used again for 30 minutes Worked fine..Went to use it again motor pulses then Electrical trip switch fires up.Im thinking motor?
What about a smashed touchscreen on a T14 ? There are glass (?) pieces behind the plastic top screen and the unit is randomly beeping and the display switches between 2 different ones. Belt did once start to spin up but then stopped.
Can you please do a video on incline troubleshooting on the NordicTrack T5.5 Treadmill.
Did i miss it? What about speed calibration? I followed your troubleshooting instructions and discovered a bad control board. Replace the board and now the speed is waaay off. I have a nordictrack 10i. And idea how to recalibrate the speed?

Domyos is a brand like I Said in Portugal, no assistance, Decathlon the brand sellers sports articles only want to sell, it is a desgrace.
Can't see anything camera person to far away from what you are doing.
Deal with it he doing it for FREE 😳🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤌🤌 lol
