Incline stopped working on pro-form 490cx everything else is working.incline motor works when treadmill is turned on then just stops

  • Anonymous Mar 30, 2014

    I assembled my Pro-Form Performance 400 a week ago and used it daily for 7 days with no issues. This morning when we turned it on and as soon my wife inserted the key it started rattle sound and inclined went on maximum and stopped on its own. I went and unlugged the power and restarted but no improvement. Then I inserted the ket and held stop key for 2 seconds then I managed to lower the incline to normal and unplugged it. After re plugging the power, now there is no light on the console. All we hear is rattling sound from incliner and went back to maximum incline. Please advise

Pro form 835qt stops working after a few min. Took off cover and it smells very hot in the control section. What looks like a transformer seems to be putting out the most heat. any ideas?

that part is on the incline motor if that is hot and you are not inclining then something is wrong with the incline motor or the controller board

Treadmill not working properly. Incline keeps slipping.

there is a plastic spacer at the rack area on the incline mtr- this white plastic spacer has broken, only recourse u have is to unplug the white wire on incline mtr, and never have a incline, or replace incline mtr when you find out how much the mtr is you might want to walk with out incline- if you was in my area, I have them cheaper

Ifit treadmill will not incline but everything else works, how do I fix the incline

You may need to calibrate the incline. Do this with the following procedure.
Safety key out
press the stop and speed up buttons at the same time while inserting the safety key. (you are now in diagnostics)
press the stop button one time only.
now press the incline up button (incline motor should start moving up)
incline will go up to the top and then all the way to the bottom. when it gets done you can remove the key. Reinsert the key and you should be operating normally.
Good luck Tim

Pro Form C525. Then incline motor works with a

The repair for this is usually a new elevation motor. However if elevation isn't a big issue for for you, you can disconnect the elevation motor and use treadmill like that. The elevation motor doesn't go out that often. You should check with a local repair person. They may have a used one laying around. I usually keep one on hand to test with.

Pro-Form Sport 1000 treadmill does not stop inclining

Do a Calibration on the treadmill. Take out the safety key. With 2 fingers, hold down the stop button and the speed up or spped plus button. keep holding them down as you insert the safety key, then let go of both.
Press the stop button 1 time, you should see all 0's in the windows, or EP 2P or something weird like that.
Press the Incline up button and then wait. If the incline go up until it stalls then down until it stalls the stops at the bottom, the you are recalibrated, take out the safery key and put it back in to see if all is well. If the incline takes off up again without touching a button, the you have wiring problems or control problems. Call service company to get it repaired.
