My treadmill stops suddenly after a few minuets and shows the ER 1 on the display. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Alan
SOURCE: life fitness treadmill display: transistor error-won't run
This error shows up if motor controller detects a failed part. This isn’t a reset-able error. Treadmill will not allow workouts until serviced.
Solution
Main motor wires/leads could be disconnected at the start of a workout. If the motor is properly connected and in working condition then the drive transistor could have failed. Check Motor Controller.

Hi Rendra,
Try this:
Switch the treadmill off and then on again.
Push the "minus" speed button and the "stop" button simultanuously.
If all is well you will now have entered the maintenance mode.
Next push the "plus" speed button and the "stop"button smultanuously.
Now you you've reached the error mode.
Push the "plus" or "minus" speed button to browse the error codes untill you've reached "L er".
The push start to erase the message.
Turn the power off and then on again to restart the treadmill.
With any luck the error has disappeared and the treadmill will function again. If not.....you'll have to contact Kettler.
Btw...This error occurs when the belt is "pushed" by the runner. For example when you put weight on the handlebar and the push your feet backwards.

I will have to check the error code but sounds like a heat problem. When you get too much friction between the walk belt and the deck it builds a lot of heat which creates more drag on the motor. This causes the motor to overheat which in turn usually shuts the machine off. You can let it cool and go back exercising until the cycle repeats. If this sounds like your issue, try lubricating the walking belt. If it's not in bad shape it should make a difference. The machine should run longer. 10-15 is pretty quick though so it make take a couple of application of lubricant. The belt may need replacing if the need for lubricant becomes too regular.

By the sound of it I am assuming the you have power to the upper display. This happens quite often when people even moving their treadmill from one room to another. My suggestion is first make sure that the safety key is engaged on the upper electronics if it is then, unplug unit remove motor shroud then locate lower board and pull and reconnect each connectors then fire it up and observe if the LED lights are on one will say PWM. This is the command for the motor to engage, the light will start flickering this mean the upper console has sent the proper signal for the motor to move. If no movement then unplug unit then remove the two connectors that go to the motor attach a 18v dc (fully charged ) drill battery and if you the motor move then look at the lower board by sheer bad luck went bad . Now if you see no flickering on the lower board remove upper console and check the the connections their. hope this give you a directions to follow.

If the is a Next Gen unit need to enter Diagnostic menu by pressing and holding pause then press clear twice. Continue to hold pause until until read service menu. press any arrow up and select system test ,then press
enter the display will begin to automatically scroll thru available options. press enter to access Main Motor Module the next window will be Speed Automatic.
Upon entering this test mode you will able to check the drive motor and motor control board. By using the the speed arrows you will be able see the actual speed if functioning if not it could possibly be the speed sensor or wire harness ( SIMPLE CONTINUITY CHECK WILL RULE IN OR OUT THE HARNESS ) and point the problem. Now if their is no belt movement then hit clear and proceed over to SPEED CONTROL ERRORS hit enter this test allows seeing the motor controller conditions that are being displayed on the motor controller display if any of these come up then the controller need s to repair or replaced:
Max Temperature, Maximum voltage, Fault Line 1 error, Static current trip and dynamic current trip ( this also can a running belt tension this can result in a cannot obtain speed error message ) hit clear to get out of diagnostic once you eliminated the problem. Good Luck!!!
