hi,
There are two possibilities for this problem
1. Check the speed sensor on near the motor pulley. Remove the sensor and clean it and re-fix it. then make a try. if problem remains then
2. The motor speed controller is faulty. There is an IGBT for controlling the motor speed. If it get shorted the motor will run it its high speed.

Be sure before opening the treadmill remove the power.
ok

This sounds like the drive screw shaft is either loose or broken. The motor will have to be removed to ascertain exactly what the problem is. I couldn't find a diagram of this unit, so I have no idea of the exact construction, but it sure looks like it's going to be a problem with how the drive screw attaches to the motor, and that will be the thing to focus on. Make sure the drive screw only stops, and not the motor rotation, since that would indicate a bad motor or power feed.
Well, I just stumbled onto a neat web page that might just solve your whole problem. Read this blog:

It sounds like they'll both help you figure out the bad part(s) and replace them.
Good luck, thanks for using FixYa, and hope this helps.

If this is actually emanating for the running belt then their is too much tension on the belt at the end of the belt their are two holes this is where you adjust the tension by using a 1/4" Allen wrench. start unit run it at about 3.0 mph turn the wrench 1/4 rotation at a time counter clockwise on each bolt until the groaning stops know if the belt slips at this point then the belt has been stretched and a new belt maybe required. On the lubrication you will need silicone lube and that can be purchased at iconfitness.com

Now if want to eliminate the circuit breaker first unplug the unit remove motor shroud locate the breakers connection and by-pass the breaker and reconnect the unit insert key and see in you have the same results then proceed to the next procedure below, if the unit is work without a hitch then replace breaker
Without knowing the make and model this is a good guess. Now why I say the key switch is that if it is a key you insert into a slot then its engaging the switch mechanically ( my guess you have a mechanical switch). Now if its a magnetic key their is a glass reed switch that is engaged. The only way to find this out is to remove the upper console and if it has a back plate remove that,a mechanical switch 7 out 10 time it would be visually apparent if not you may have to remove the electronics to see it. If you a multi meter remove the switch place the leads on switch spades ( inspect the spades if tarnished then use an erasure to clean the spades) and mechanically engage the switch. Notice any hesitation in switch engaging it may not be making contact internally if so replace the switch.

Have you checked to make sure it is not the belt that drives the front roller from the motor slipping. Get somebody to watch while you are using the machine and determine if the motor is still spinning while the running belt has stopped.

fuse possibly blown on main board

You need to have the power supply board rebuilt with larger Caps and resistors. Look on the internet under treadmill repairs. The board is easy to replace yourself so don't have someone come in and overcharge you. I think about 4 screws and two plugs.

If it's the breaker in a gfci outlet, move it to one that isn't GFCI.

The motor isn't going bad, but if it's not a gfci outlet, it may be the motor control board and of course the belt need lubricating.

belt wont move when walking on it

No really. You need to replace the entire walking belt. Not to hard of a job and most replacement belts come with some instructions. We use www.treadmillpartszone.com for parts.

Sometimes when these machines are assembled
a wiring harness gets damaged. If you have a manual, look at the diagram that shows the upright columns where the upper console mounts.
Look for the wiring harness coming out the top or bottom on the diagram. If it is on the right, the take the screws/bolts out of the arm that mounts to the upright and lift it up, just a little to see if the wiring harness is damaged or partly disconnected. If you cant see anything, then it is time to call a tech out to troubleshoot the problem.

This doesn't sound like a treadmill. If it's an elliptical or stepper, try tightening the crank arm.

Open front cover to see if there are any visible broken parts. If not try recalibrating the incline. If it doesnt calibrate you will more than likely need an elevation motor. The guide for the gear on these sometimes will break. The motor runs but gears arent on track.
