    I found a video on here that said a flashing light means that you have a problem between the mainboard and control panel. I found here the connector and the treadmill ROARED to life.

      The flashing light indicates the speed sensor is working and the belt is turning

    Have you tried turning the motor by hand to see how much resistance it has? It should be easy to turn. If there is resistance then the smell you are reporting may be caused by friction in the roller or the belt deck. Possibly the belt deck needs lubrication or the belt tension is not properly set.

    I have the same problem with my proform - ran great for a couple of years. Then this smell started kicking in at the 20 minute mark. It also started cutting out if I ran it 35-40 minutes at a time, which isn't much. I had a tech out to fix it. He could not find anything mechanically wrong with it. I bought a new one today, with a lifetime warranty on all parts. I really liked this treadmill, but can't keep working around the smell anymore.

      I have exactly the same experience. In addition, once suddenly it stopped working. I changed the power fuser, connected it to electricity then again the fuser was broken! I like this treadmill but can't use it now since two weeks.

      I have the same issue. The belt won't move now, the motor has that 'ozone' smell to it and the LED indicator on the board blinks 5 times, pause, 5 times... I think it means the motor is not longer good but looking to confirm that.

    Figured out the problem. I was having the same issue , burning smell 20 minutes in . after replacing the motor. I was still having the same smell . So i ran the treadmill for 20 minutes without me on it. And NO SMELL at all . I realized that the weight limit is totally a lie . It has 300 on the website, the manual says 270 , i weigh 262 and I'm still too heavy for the treadmill and its putting too much pressure on the motor. When I ran the treadmill with no weight it works just fine . They're using false advertising to sell then when you blow the motor because the weight limit is deceptive they charge you for repairs and parts only to have the same problem. If you weigh even slightly over 200 youre going to constantly have problems from the new proform treadmills and ellipticals. I won't be buying anything else from them ever .

    Have one just like it. So far, have replaced the walking belt, power board, circuit breaker and installed a fan on the end of the drive motor from a heavy-duty one found on city curb that had a fan on it. Also, a small blower fan from a curbside refrigerator I put in a big plastic Folgers tub and have that blowing on power board and thru the motor. Still doing exactly what yours is doing. They are pretty much junk.

    My control panel is just blank after I pressed Bluetooth button. Got another one from preform but after 11 months it also went blank. Used a handful of times at home. Did not expect this to happen on high end equipment. £400 to replace parts. It’s probably just a simple damaged part that costs pence to replace.

    I have the same problem and it turned out the motor went bad. Had my treadmill for 5 years and the motor finally just stopped working after emitting a burning smell. I took out the motor and plastic melted pieces fell out. I just ordered a replacement motor for about $190.00.

    Hi, what can you tell me about the thermal (blue) wires? Are they reversible, or must they be connected only one way? Thanks

    • @kbmblizz1940
      @kbmblizz1940 4 года назад

      Blue wires from Proform motor is reversible. They are just connected to a simple contact NC thermal contact in the motor that opens when overheated. You can short blue wires together for testing the motor with a dc battery.

    I'd lose the extension cord first. Longer cord draws more amps. Things will heat up faster

    • @wesleyhurd3574
      @wesleyhurd3574 4 года назад

      Extension cords create a voltage drop. Motors prefer to operate at the proper voltage. If you must use an extension cord, it should be a short, heavy gage extension cord that is rated for use with appliances like a dishwasher or an air conditioner.

    Hello I enjoy educating myself with your video. I am having a problem with the Motor Speed Controller Model: MC2100LT-12 such as the one on your video, it is exactly the same. You said in the video that you purchased the treadmill at an auction that it is a Gold's Gym equipment. That is a Pro-Form Performance 300 treadmill it is model #PFTL39513.1. I just spend $180 to have this technician tell me that the issue is the Motor Controller problem is that I do not want to spend another $189 for the controller as per Pro-Form prices. How were you able to get that particular treadmill so cheap?
