Belts won't turn on tradclimber

Buy a new treadmill ;D

Ask the manufacturer

If you wish to get some details about treadmill error codes and repair; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. http://electro-medical.blogspot.com/

Hi. Hoping someone can help. I have a BH fitness pioneer classic model G6442C. It switches on fine but belt wont start turning and after few seconds “E1” error pops up. I have opened the box and tested and no power gets sent to the motor when you press start. “LED2” flashes once belt wont start. Any ideas anyone?

From the User manual....here

'1.If the belt moves, but stops after a short time and
thedisplay shows "LS", run calibration. (on next page)
2.If you press start and the belt never moves, then
the display shows LS, contact service.

Step 1:

ERR 1 - Motor Movement

ERR1 indicates a speed issue. In this case, the motor speed as reported from the optic sensor differs

from the speed setting.

Analysis: Optic sensor signal issue -- Either the optic sensor signal is not right, or it is read incorrectly, or

the signal is not reaching the display.

Clean the s.speed , test for open or faulty-see the diagram for adjust. tight the connector very well.

God bless you

Step 2:

An E1 error code is a very broad code. It is important to know when the E1 occurs and what was being done when it occurred. An E1 code just means that the console is not getting a reading from the reed switch (Speed Sensor). If the running belt moves for several minutes and then produces the E1 error, this is most commonly a result of the running belt needing lubrication. The motor control board will shut down due to the motor pulling too much current, triggering a safety shut down. It is important to maintain a proper lubrication schedule for your treadmill. The lubrication frequency will vary depending on the model, please refer to the lubrication instructions in the owner's manual. When lubricating be sure to use a 100% silicone non-aerosol treadmill lubricant, applying 1-oz.
After lubricating the running belt, if you still continue to have problems or it returns after just a few weeks, the running belt may have become glazed. This is a term used that describes the pores on the underside of the running belt closing due to excess friction. When this occurs, the running belt can no longer absorb lubrication. In this instance you may need to replace the running belt as continued use can lead to damage of other components such as the motor and the motor control board.
If the running belt stops after 6 seconds of starting the treadmill, this may indicate that either the speed sensor needs adjusting/replacing or the main wire harness is damaged.
If there is no belt movement, or you notice a burning smell coming from the motor area, this may be an indication that the motor or motor control board has become damaged. Without lubrication, continued use can cause damage to the motor and/or the motor control board which may require replacing of these components. If needing to replace either of these components, it will likely be necessary to replace the running belt as well. Doing so will prevent friction from damaging the newly installed components or other components in the machine.

Don't laugh, but I'm working with an old Athlon Simplicity model to try and adapt the motor to a band saw. In any event. There is a magnet imbeded on the outside of the front belt roller. It triggers a circuit that counts the revolutions. There should be a small postage stamp sized black plastic piece near the belt roller that has two wires running to the circuit board. It may have come unplugged somehow. When I unplug mine - the motor stops and it displays E1.

I need a picture of this model

Your problem might be that the sensor magnet has fallen off. Here's an illustrated guide that should make fixing it easy: http://fixmytreadmill.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-fix-treadmill-e1-error.html

Good luck.
