Hello Mr. Joe,
Thank you so much for your help. All mine needed was the paperclip trick, and it works just fine.
Thank you so much. Here's a few more 👍👍👍👍👍 since I can only give one on your channel.
One of the clearest, most helpful videos I've used on CZcams. You are a natural educator.
This clip helped me isolate the problem, that it wasn't the motor or the belt and maybe the control board. Another video about the blinking light on that board may assist in your diagnosis. That showed my board to be working too. When I pull off the black and red wires from the board and checked the motor with my drill battery, as Joe suggested here, the motor ran perfectly. When I reconnected the wires the whole Nordictract c850 s ran perfectly. Poor contact to the motor due to mild corrosion. Problem solved until next time. Thanks Joe.
Thanks legend.
I had the 2nd case: not used treadmill for some time and also shifted from one room to another so per your guidance I unplugged the Data cable and replugged it again and it starts working. WOW. So simple, yet technical. You Saved my time and money. Hats off to you.
This was a great find. Although it did not help me directly with my problem, I found you and I am grateful. I have already reached out to your team to narrow down my issue. Thank you very much in taking the time to do this.
What's the solution then.??
NOTE: This product works exactly as described. czcams.com/users/postUgkxguEIMc_Qwab-3QMTpF6jaRL80hiOOsIN It originally earned a four-star review due to a minor defect (see below). However, the manufacturer's customer service rep (Lita) went above and beyond the call of duty and deserves five stars now. I wish I could give even more!I purchased this item which arrived quickly. Assembly instructions were easy to follow. There was only one problem: One bolt did not screw into the hole properly. I called the company. Their customer service rep (Lita) was terrific! She took all my information and submitted a request to replace the defective part. I'm hoping to finish assembly and start using this treadmill soon. (Fingers crossed...)FOLLOW UP: Lita called back to inform me that the company will send a replacement part AND a technician(!!) to install it properly. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Thank you!!
Someone left there treadmill at my new house and I just want to thank you because I just needed to know where the power switch was to see if it worked and it does. So thank you!
Very good video, very informative, especially the ways to check the motor status. I don't need to repair my treadmill now, however it's always good to get prepared. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the great instructional video. This treadmill had just been moved. I checked the data cable and found that when I plugged it back together (multi pin connector), 2 of the pins were pushed part way out. I pushed them back in and the belt belt is turning. Thanks again.
Thank you very much Jo, can’t thank you enough, it’s was your very last closing remark- Power AND , the Safety Catch- The latter saved my Treadmill from being scrapped, God bless you.
This is such a great comment to read!! Thank you.
Couldn’t figure out why my treadmill wasn’t working. I had given up - not very mechanically inclined. However, as a last resort I thought I’d check CZcams.
As soon as you mentioned recently moving your treadmill, it clicked. I found the Ethernet cable and realized I had bent one of the pins when I reconnected. A few adjustments with needle nose pliers, and I’m back in business. Thanks!
Man this was so helpful! It was my stop cord the whole time! Was about to hire someone for this lol... Thank you!!!
By far, the MOST HELPFUL video! Thank you!
This is great. My safety key was *only partly* plugged in. It wasn't obvious at first. All I had to do was plug it back in all the way and voilà, its working. Thanks!
Thanks for your time and effort in providing such a nice video, it really was helpful.
Very good video -- very well explained -- My old WESLO has not been used for a year or more, and not moved. When attempt to use it would not work. Too late now but tomorrow I will thanks to all your guidance check it out. If only many other repair videos were explained in the same direct manner of instructions and video. Thanks for taking the time and effort for making this video - even if my treadmill IS completely dead.
If you need any help diagnosing issues along the way, you can always give our company, Fitness Graveyard, a call at 563-949-0799. We have in house technicians that you can speak with. Thanks!
@@treadheroes you're the man! Thanks so much for a great video!!!
thank you joe, the feed wasn't getting through to the top screen, took it apart and the wire had snap completely in half. was difficult to reconnect as wires were so tiny but with care n patients manage to strip them back enough to twist each colour together then using plenty black insulating tape to separate and make safe.... also wound some the tape around the rest the lead to hopefully strengthen it from future damage etc.
I couldn't believe how dusty it was especially where the motor sits etc. all cleaned up and ha presto it's working again, many thanks joe for your video and help, son n wife happy again.
Another repair down in the books. Thank you. I had a bad power wire to the panel, then found out one of the magnets in the motor came loose. Welp I cleaned and epoxied it back in. Now I got a $500 treadmill for $1.53 from the thrift store.
Time to start running. 😁
Thanks for the video! My belt wasnt working but everything else did. It turned on and it inclined/declined just fine, but the belt didnt work. I checked the motor per your instruction by connecting it to a drill battery and the belt worked perfectly. I was thinking its was the data cable because the motherboard looks fine with no corrosion. After a thorough inspection of the data cord is found the the "spokes" on the male data cord was bent and not aligned so it wasnt plugging with the female part correctly. After straighting it out, it works! Thanks so much!!!!!
Just had our home treadmill die and was flying blind testing stuff, this is an awesome video and gives me a place to start from
You explain it in a great way fully..! Thank you..!
Great vid! This totally helped me resolve my issues in just a few minutes:)
I just talked to Drew at The Fitness Graveyard - VERY helpful in helping me narrow down my issue. Hopefully, I can 'adjust' my problem out, but if not, he told me exactly what is most likely my problem part and how to deal with it. I appreciate it - I'll report back when I figure it out.
Thanks for this video. You just saved me 400$ in parts/labor due to my part still being under warranty. This was a huge help. Appreciate it.
Great to hear!
Decent video. Explains a lot. Thank you for sharing 👍😁
"The data cable is the spinal cord of the treadmill" - great description.
Would body weight have anything to do with it stopping after a couple of minutes?
Hi what does it mean E1
This seems like a great video to help the average person try and trouble shoot. Well done.
great!!! love your expertise... stay blessed my beloved brother
It is working now thanks It makes anything possible when a HERO has your back! A team plays harder when there is a heroic quarterback behind them.
💯 thanks!! I learned how to test my drive motor. 18V cordless drill battery 🔋 worked! Control board is being fixed; wanted to confirm motor was good. 👍
Thank you for the tips. Extremely helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this video! Wealth of knowledge 👍🏻
Great video. Very helpful. The mice got in to our treadmill and chewed the powercord, which I soldered back together. They had also nested on the pcb. Now the console powers up but the motor won’t turn. The mat is hard to turn which thanks to your explanation about the motor becoming a magnet tells me the motor is good but is shorted somewhere. Thanks for the video!
This is what happened to mine…did you ever resolve the problem?
@@picsbyandrea No sorry i didn't. The frame got converted into a table for my screen printing press and the rest got thrown out (apart from the motor which may get used for a future project)
Good information,,,, thanks for taking the time,,,Ready to jump on it with this new knowledge ...lol
Great video! Thanks so much for making this!!!
I really like the part where you teach us on how to test the treadmill motor if it is still good it really helped me a lot thank you.
thank you it was really helpful.
Glad I found this video - we were given a Trojan 210 treadmill, the treadmill powers on - counts down and we get a L51 error. Checked the motor with a 12v battery and the motor is good. As mentioned before the console counts down, a 3rd light glows up - no click, error and the 3rd light dims again :(
Will find out why by hook or by crook :)
I will echo the comments by @EricaChiarkas that you are a natural educator. So many presenters on CZcams rush through their dialog, but you took your time like talking to a friend or neighbor across the way. I was able to solve a power issue with my old Triumph T400. Just taking the top cover off allowed me to see that the white power lead had disconnected from the circuit board. I had replaced the power cord a while back and didn't leave enough slack on the wires inside, so of course when I folded up the platform one day after use, the wire was pulled off. Thank you Treadmill Hero!
Thanks for the nice comment
Wow Excellent excellent explanation thank you for all the help 😊👍👍
Great tips on troubleshooting, appreciate it.
Your the man. I fixed my treadmill. I though it was the drive motor.
thank you so much . I have an old Image 10 that is 22 years and has been moved a few times but still working fine. I hadn't used it in a couple months though and when I went to start it it wouldn't start. Nothing. After watching your post when you mentioned that the key has to be in thats when I remembered. The key. Oh yeah. It would be good to mention the reset button early on too. I had tried that.
Great vid! Super helpful!
Thank you🙏
AWESOME VIDEO!!!! Thanks for the tips. 🇺🇸🤙🏽
Excellent presentation.
Excellent technical experience and information. Thanks
Thanks for the positive vibes
brilliant info w/the battery check!
Great info! Thanks!!
Thank u for sharing best info 😊
thanks for the vide and suggestions, trick testing motor saved me $300 mine working just fine tried w my drill battery
Wanted to thank you for your trouble shooting video. It was a move resulting in a disconnected data cable. If I am in need of any parts you will be the busy I call. I will refer your company to anyone I know who is having treadmill issues. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for this video!
Hello Joe, I was about to give up trying to fix the incline setting which was stuck in number 10 nobody wanted to used it . Then You mention cables loose due to moving the unit from one area to another. To pleasant surprise I found a cable disconnected plug 🔌 it in and problem resolved. Thank you very much great video.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot for your explaination
You are the main dude DIY for the win thanks to youtube and doers. Just fixed it
Great video! Thank you!
Hi Joe, I have a Technofit TR300i Treadmill. I live in the UK.
Initially the treadmill was powered on, and there was a POP, which tripped the house breaker, then after the isolator was activated, I switched the treadmill back ON.......Although the power indicator switched (red) ON, nevertheless everything else was dead (the control panel still would NOT light up).
I then removed the plastic base cover and found that the fuse (T 10A H250V) was blown, so I replaced it, and when I switched it back on, the panel now lit up !.....Unfortunately the motor did not turn and instead a fault code E3 is displayed, my next stage is to test my motor as you have described it here using DeWalt drill battery......and I will then let you know if the motor is OK.
PS. The motor speed sensor is of the Optical type. (and not the magnetic one etc)
However, if the motor is fine, then what would be the next step to go about fixing it ?
Thanks
SoL
Based on all that, I believe your motor control board popped and took out that fuse in the process. Check the motor to be sure but I think the motor controller is the issue
Very good to the point 😀
Thanks very helpfull I will check both
Great troubleshooting
Great video!
Nice explanation
Awesome brother thanks
Thanks for explain.
Great vid. Great conent
Thank You!
Excellent vid
Thanks for the video.
My roommate has been working on a treadmill trying to replace the motor belt. It is no where close to ever fitting on there. She has tried several different ones and they are all way too small. All the videos make the belt look easy to slip on but it’s just not even close.
If the belt is same size no. Will loose the motor unscrew bolts but the belt
We recommend giving our company, Fitness Graveyard, a call at 563-949-0799 and you can speak with an in house technician who can help you with installing the belt. They can also answer any questions you may have. Thanks!
Appreciate, thanks.
Thank you ✌️ very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
I have not officially used your suggestions. But I would have to figure that if the motor smelled of smoke that we probably burnt the motor. and would you happen to have any links or recommendations where a guy could get a ProForm treadmill motor?
Sorry for the delayed response. Reach out to our company, Fitness Graveyard. They sell parts and could have what you're looking for. The phone number is 563-949-0799. Or the website is www.fitnessgraveyard.com. Thanks!
Thanks for posting
Very good, thanks.
thanks you for yout great instruction video.
Very helpful thanks good man 🙏
Thanks for the kind words hopefully you like all of our fun content as well
My treadmill(PRO-FORM 590QS Quiet Deck) starts and works as long as I am only walking but once I get to running speeds then it stops after a few seconds to a minute. What should I look for?
I’ll definitely run the diagnostic that you have explained here.
Another thing, for past few years the tread has become quite loud. It hasn’t bother me since it’s been moved from bedroom to the garage and I usually have my AirPods on but it used to be very quiet for the longest time. Don’t know if it’s aged or some parts can use some lubricants to make it quiet again?
Btw, very well explained and easy understand video👍, thank you for sharing 🙏
Hi Joe, great video and advice thanks for sharing. Did the checks on the more which were fine 👍 I have an Horizon Elite T5.1 that trips the circuit breaker when I hit start. Thinking it might be the mother board ?
Unplug the drive motor from the lower circuit board. Most likely it will be a red and black pair of wires. Then hit start. If the breaker pops with the motor unplugged, your issue is isolated to the circuit board. If it does not, you most likely need a new motor. We also have parts at www.fitnessgraveyard.com hope this helps
thank you for this video. My treadmill works perfectly -- all inclines and speeds-- but these days after 5 years of mild to moderate use, it takes 15 minutes to wake it up (display, boot up etc) after flicking the switch. it's like Iam waiting for the dragon to wake up from its slumber. I ll check the data cable etc as you have advised. Again thank you for this video.
Its awesome... keep it up
I appreciate this video, it's very helpful! I am getting the motor trying to work, but the belt does not move freely at all. Does that mean my motor is shot?
I recommend giving our company, Fitness Graveyard, a call at 563-949-0799. You can speak with an in house technician who can help you diagnose the issue over the phone. They can also help you find any parts needed for repair. Thanks!

great video
Data cable looks like a phone plug????
I HOPE this helped. I need to open mine up to see. It's a Weslo Cadence R 5.2. I rarely use the thing, it just sits there (like most people's exercise equipment). I was riding 15 miles a day till my mountain bike broke, then I got a new car that doesn't have a tow hitch or room and haven't gotten around to doing all of that. The treadmill was supposed to b the for now exercise. It's always plugged in, I checked the socket, checked the safety plug, it just doesn't turn on. I know it did a few weeks ago, but it hasn't been moved since then. I'll open it up tomorrow and see if anything looks bad. I've been to technical school for computers years ago and still build all my own systems, plus, I have pretty decent mechanical knowledge of things like cars thanks to CZcams, so if it's not super-complicated I'll fix it. If not, I'll throw it on Craigslist for free.
Good tips! Used drill battery to test, motor works. Trying to figure out what E6 code is on xterra 2500 means right now.
This video did work. Still haven't fixed it, but I was able to rule out couple of things
We went thru the whole procedure of removing the cover and testing everything. Come to find out it was the on/off switch on the case next to were the power line goes in was switched to off. I don't know how it could of been switched off during our walking.
Thank you so much
My Horizon CT5.2 was getting E1 error after running 5 - 15 minutes. Found out that it was speed sensor that was not aligned to the magnet properly. Aligned it to fix the E1 issue on it.
Hi, I just want to ask a question about your treadmill because I'm having the same issue with my Horizon T101. How many magnets are on the wheel where your speed sensor wire is? Mine has 1 but its another hole on the adjacent side of the wheel, (Like they should alternate if another one was there. I've changed the control board and tried to adjust the wire and just when I think its fixed I get the E1 code
Thank you sir
My treadmill says error 6 , console turns on but not the engine
Same! I cant find any solution...
Really helpful. Thank you. Mine isn't dead yet, but I think it failing (speed somewhat variable and I've had to power down and power up on couple of occasions to get it to work again. So, most likely I'll be back to review this again and contact you if/when it actually fails. Thanks again.
Thank you for taking the time to produce your excellent videos on maintaining a treadmill.
I need your assistance. I have a Sole F80 and while I’m running (7MPH) or walking (4MPH) every now and then the treadmill will stop then speed up rapidly (Fast) and it will give me an Error Code 5 message on the screen. I’ve been thrown off the treadmill twice and I’m lucky it hasn’t caused me a serious injury. Do you have any idea what could be causing this happen?
Thank you.
Hi Joe, great video. My Diamondback treadmill wasn't working after not using it for a month. Not moved. When turned on it has a very long continuous beep that doesn't stop until turned off. The panel does not light up at all. Key is in proper place.
We recommend giving our company, Fitness Graveyard, a call at 563-949-0799. You can speak with an in house technician who can help you diagnose the issue with your treadmill. They can also help you find any parts that might be needed for repair. Thanks!
Appreciate it thanks!
Thank you very much Chief!!
My problem is that when the treadmill was turned on, everything it looks normal, but as soon as it runs, it runs wildly and at very dangerous speed and we can not control the speed what so ever. We have called the dealer to fix it (each time cost me 200US$), it was fixed for a while, then it went crazy again.
Any recommendation ho to fix it?
I am thinking of putting a current limiter or a potensiometer at the power supply after the bridge rectifier, jus as a safety measure.
Actually, my wife would be very happy if it can run at the speed of 4 km/h. She does not need anything faster. While for my self, I would rather go cycling than walking for one hour and goes nowhere.
Cheers from Indonesia.

Great video. Thank you!
So I don't hear the "click" when I try to start it up. Do you have a video on how to replace a relay?
hey there thay video was very helpful i have a five year old nordick track incline tread and i has been moved three times as we have moved the incline works it goes all the way up and console works as stated in this video it tells you alotted time and distance but the tread itself does not budge. so I am going to attempt opening up the brain on the bottom and check everything you suggested ... but i was thinking if the incline works fine the motor would be good...
