Treadmills come in 2 usual flavors, 3 phase brushless and then there's brushed DC.
This power board had a popped fuse which means there's a short -somewhere. Let's find it.
In the video I generically call 2 components "mosfets" - which I knew better.
In this design an Insulated Gate BiPolar Transistor (IGBT) is pulsing DC to the motor (to control speed) while the other component is a fly back diode (free wheeling diode) for emf. (see my other treadmill repair video for replacing defective fly back diode).
An alternate design uses an H Bridge and 4 mosfets to control speed and direction.

After watching this I realize I shouldn't do videos at 7am... I'm talking while I'm thinking and I realized upon review that several things are wrong. I was soo tired. The IGBT pulses dc to the motor and the other semiconductor is a freewheeling diode which allows bleedoff when the power to the motor is stopped while the motor is still in motion (now generating electricity).
I am so sorry for the errors. I wanted to diagnose this board and get a quick video in before heading to the airport.
so big and you did almost miss the 3rd bridge, personally i would have exchanged both IGBT's if not too expesive cause the heat could have changed its specs, it is an IGBT not a MOSFET
Out of sight, out of mind!
I made corrections in the video description. Thanks!
i know its a bit old video but cant help noticed the mistake @ 2:36 its a set of diodes and not mosfet as you say.
It's an IGBT - I messed up by calling it a bridge rectifier at 3:05
2:08 The thirth bridge rectifier on the top left corner.
I can't believe that I forgot the large bridge unit on the back
@@BetterBiomedChannel , i think you have overseen it, because it was covered with thermal paste. Bridge rectifiers are normally not connected to a heatsink, and just flapping in the breeze.
im from new york, ive fixed computers alot since like 1999. Ive seen lot of changes. I saw a craigslist ad of someone giving away a broken free treadmill and to fix was a pain
What was broke / defective?
@@BetterBiomedChannel forgot its been awhile but wasnt easy
What make of board and # ? what did it come out of please ?
