Treadmill quit out of the blue. Found your video, tested the motor, worked fine. Noticed some carbonizing of the neg (black) connection. Replaced the plug...treadmill back in business. Thanks for your video and time to put it together.
I used your method and my motor seems to be working fine however my treadmill still not working. I took the motherboard apart and found no burning area... do you have any idea?
Before replacing the motor, I would have checked the motor brushes for burn spots and wear. It is possible that one or both are not seated properly on the commutator, one or both may be broken, or they may not be making good contact, or the commutator could have burn spots. Sometimes, removing the brushes(be careful, they are not so easily placed back where they need to go) and cleaning the commutator with a commutator stone can fix the issue.
Hi I'm having an issue with my motor every time I turn it on the engine moves but the belt doesn't I open it up and noticed that there were sparks coming from the inside of the motor what do you think the issue is. I'm thinking its the carbon brushes any help would be really useful.
Andrew, I am having the same problem on my horizon T25 treadmill. I'm hoping you will still respond. First of all, I tried to check the DC motor the way you did, however I only have a 12V power drill battery, would this be enough to power the motor? Second, I measures the DC output on the board where the motor red a d black plug into abs they give 20v, is this correct? Lastly, I don't have my horizon receipt anymore is that needed to check if the motor is still under warranty? How did you go about contacting horizon? Thanks in advance for your reply! Very useful video
My treadmill is making weird sounds from the motor area. The treadmill runs but my son said not to use it or it could start on fire. Where would I start to find someone to fix it? I can't afford a new one. Thanks!
Thanks for this video,so I hook up my drill battery and the motor works fine,so does this mean mother board is bad?or could be the circuit breaker be bad and how can I test the circuit breaker?thanks
most likely mcb- the only other thing can sometimes be the upper control board. (if you don't hear a relay click from mcb before it would normally go, and you also don't have incline, that can be ucb)- very rarely circuit breaker and no good way to test that really besides just replacing breaker n seeing if it fixes.
Mr Andrew Maxsimic, I have a ProForm985CD and the treadmill works but runs at half the chosen speed in manual speed mode, and the physical treadmill does not seem to have excessive drag. (cd mode CD player quit long ago LOL) what is the problem?
sometimes- typically there is a root cause for motors overheating/getting overloaded and this can be strain from wearable parts - causing motor brushes to tarnish with heat
Hi Andrew thanks for the video! Need you help/suggestion My threadmill stopped suddenly while working then it never starts. All the displays are working. I tested Motor as us mentioned in this video. I can hear a humming motor sound when connected to drill battery. But no sound when connected to the board. What do u think the fault any suggestions would helpful thanks in advance
Great video, thanks! I just bought a Wesslo treadmill b4 I paid for it I made sure it ran n it did. We loaded up in my car, I brought it home, plugged it, turned on just fine but when u press anything like start, stop 1234 etc, on the instrument panel, nothing works. Any suggestions?
Hi, please I need your help,my horizon Treadmill mat moves when my son goes on it but when I go on it,it suddenly stops. I sense it's because my weight but please I want to ask what could have gone wrong , could it be problem on the board or the motor is weak?
Check the backing on the running belt. Should have white fiber on it. Have you seen any white fiber on the floor. How many miles does this belt have on it. I am guessing it is time for a new belt.
Without knowing your treadmill I'm not sure what your error message is. If it is making a burning smell it could be the motor belt or wiring. I would have it check.
This only tests whether motor will run, not its strength. Test its amps while using it to see if it bogs down under walking load. Fitness Tech vid shows this.
Nordictrack Solaris: Will only go at 3 or 8 mph speed, only 2% incline. ALL other keys are non responsive. otherwise the treadmill runs fine...any suggestions please?
Probably motor control board. Did you lubricate unit well- old belt/deck can cause too much amp draw on mcb and over heat it shorting it out. Mcb, belt, deck prolly will fix it amd prevent it happening again
I RUINED A DRILL BATTERY PACK DOING THIS!!! newer drills have circuitry inside that can be damaged from doing this. Better to use a small 12v Sealed lead acid battery.
this can destroy your drill pack - if lithium batteries, the BMS board inside the battery pack can be overloaded and be damaged . speaking from experience here. Much safer to use a 12v SLA battery like a motorcycle starter battery or similar.
There is a better way to check the motor than either of these methods. Connect a voltmeter to the red & black wires and set the meter to DC volts at ~20V range. Spin the motor by hand and observe the meter to see if a voltage is developed, typically up to about 10V. If you spin it backwards, you should see a negative voltage of similar value. By the way, since many treadmills are used as clothes racks and eventually discarded, the motor & controller assemblies are often scavenged for driving shop tools such as a lathe, drill press, or bandsaw. It's an excellent repurposing. My wood lathe is powered this way. The keypad can be discarded and replaced with a simple variable potentiometer for variable speed control.
The lower control board sends voltages that range from 0-130 volts DC to the motor based on the speed you choose to go, so 19 volts is plenty for the test. I personally used 9 volts batteries to test treadmill motors for years before cordless tools became popular.
Nope, a motor will last indefinitely. It comes down to wear/tear of belt/deck causing friction and straining the drive system and overheating things. The motors will last indefinitely as long as they are not strained due to excess amp-draw from wearable parts.

Are the motors serviceable by replacing the bushes.

HI THERE, PLS LET ME WHAT IS THE MOTOR WINDING RESISTANCE ONE WOULD EXPECT FROM A DC MOTOR ON A T700 YORKFITNESS TREADMILL
THANKYOU
Hi thanks how about if the motor turns when I connect it to the battery
then it's a bad motor control board likely (unless your upper control board is having problems)

The Weslo treadmills are good but it does that
what if I can stop my motor with my hand is it going bad

Hi dear
In my tread mill the IRFP460A is used and the resistance is burned
So how many ohms can the resistance be?
hi i have the bord (mother bord ) bad not work can u halep me
What is the Error 02 shown by Treadmill?and its after the burning smell from the Treadmill.what is the solution?

Dr Nasser my speed dont go any faster on treadmill belt dont move

Do the other buttons beep when you press them? Are you using the quick keys to get the speed and incline.
If the other buttons do not beep, it's usually the touch pad.
if jump my motor it runs but when i hook it up an push the start button I get nothing not even the incline works only the top b buttons work
Probably motor control board. Did you lubricate unit well- old belt/deck can cause too much amp draw on mcb and over heat it shorting it out. Mcb, belt, deck prolly will fix it amd prevent it happening again
The motor heats up when walking on the treadmill what solution

Would any dc motor work?
I am not sure, this is the only one I have used.
Hai sir my treadmill showing display safe mode . pleas help me
this treadmill is the the treadmill for me can you help this treadmill how can i connect to me
my treadmill like this how can i help you
I can hear the motor humming and the computer lights up but the motor doesn't seem to be turning. Any suggestions? Thanks
i have the t500 i did this test and the motor did turn...what else can i try..
If the motor is turning from this test, then your motor is not the issue. Could be the motherboard, or an electrical issue.
Can i use car battery
I think it would be too powerful.
Where I can buy a new motor?
Luis vargas I'm sure you can buy it at treadmilldoctor. Com.
ramivalencia Does it have to be the exact same motor or can you get one with similar horsepower from a different Treadmill?
@@chavez349 contact the manufacturer to check on parts availability. You don't want to mix/match the wrong motor in it.
look here and read the Description: this is for all Treadmill-Motors !
hi I live in Saudi Arabia my machine is 110 volt and by mistake I put 220 volt then I think it's burn please help me what I do it's work please
Moon Ar There's a fuse on the motor controller. Check that first. And replace if necessary.
my treadmill when I use it smell burn what could it be
It could be the motor or a wiring short. I would have it checked and make sure it is unplugged.
@@Maxsimic Hii i get E1 message on the treadmill mines doing like urs the number works at the top but the belt wont move! What could it be?
I RUINED A DRILL BATTERY PACK DOING THIS!!! newer drills have circuitry inside that can be damaged from doing this. Better to use a small 12v Sealed lead acid battery.
i used a 18v dewalt battery,found out the prongs don't accept the motor red/black prongs,i would'nt try forcing the issue,may cause more damage
Most treadmills have a fuse so it could be this also
plis I want video ERRo E-1
My treadmill goes for 2 miles then the belt stops and goes then stops. There is an electrical smell after this. I’m getting a new treadmill.
this can destroy your drill pack - if lithium batteries, the BMS board inside the battery pack can be overloaded and be damaged . speaking from experience here. Much safer to use a 12v SLA battery like a motorcycle starter battery or similar.
good advice
i was hoping for a response from andrew on this issue

maybe motor mechanism is the problem...
It’s probably the motor brushes
Hey man! The Motor has 130Volt and your Akku 19Volt lol you know?
The lower control board sends voltages that range from 0-130 volts DC to the motor based on the speed you choose to go, so 19 volts is plenty for the test. I personally used 9 volts batteries to test treadmill motors for years before cordless tools became popular.
