In my experience (3.5 years using a F80 daily) an excessively bouncy deck on a Sole treadmill means your deck surface has cracks in it.

1) Lube the deck belt, this problem is lack of maintenance, maybe the deck belt is worn.
2) You must align the deck belt see the diagram
3) Lube the rollers bearing very well very important too

SOURCE: belt wont start on a brand new Sole F80. Motor

It sound like the motor control board is the culprit. Unplug unit then remove shroud then find the 2 leads that connects the motor to the motor control board disconnect them then plug in unit and see if the display blackout after programing the display then hitting start.

Treadmill will incline but not stay up. incline # stays after bed lowers

incline Motor is not working it can be a few different things.
1) may not be any signal from the console which could be a damaged cable(tight the flexible cable from keypanel vs display board)
2) Tight the connector from display board vs lower board ( main motor controller board the console itself has failed.
3) The motor control board may have failed from a worn treadmill belt and deck measure 120VAC input for the board
5) the motor may have burnt out Test try to measure 120VAC.
6) potentiometer geared to the motor adjust it so the console knows what height the incline is at.
7) the gearing can slip, giving the console false information which can cause chassis damage.
Now see the block diagaram that I did , for person like you, for to know how the main motor board has aprox 90% of functions of any treadmills. sincerely. Good luck, G-d bless you.
