I have nordictrack A2105 and although we "oiled" the belt and replaced motor belt, it still slips. What are we doing wrong?

If we use the treadmill daily it might need maintenance regularly. Running of 180 hours on the treadmill might lose the belt. Drive belts usually last for longer time of 5 to 7 years.So you have to adjust the tension of the belt.
Keep enough tension in the drive belt
If a user wants to improve the motor efficiency it is necessary to connect the motor to the front wheel which helps the belt to spin.
Too little tension results in slippage, excess heat and high-pitched noise, or too tight belt produces tension causing stress on belts, bearings, and shafts. Prevent premature motor failure by adjusting the belt at a suitable place. The belt should be fixed half an inch of play.
To improve the efficiency of the motor align the belt properly and lubricate it on time. Keep in mind such useful options may help the user. When the belt slips off the track, the friction between the belt and drive pulleys causes the belt to overheat. If you hear a high-pitched noise, it's time to replace the belt with a new one.
How to Ascertain that the drive belt can still be used?
If you test Front-wheel by walking on the treadmill and the belt stops but the motor is still moving, It means that the drive belt is loose and needed to be tightened or replaced.
Keep in mind
There are some exercises that are not suitable for the treadmill like jumping on it. This kind of usage can be rough on your treadmill and lead to your treadmill belt slipping.

My nordic track treadmill's walking belt stops when I start walking on it but the motor is still running although the front roller is not moving when I start walking on the walking belt. Do you think the...

Unplug the unit remove the motor shroud inspect the drive belt if the rubber feel slick then my recommendation is to replace the drive belt. Adjusting the drive belt may take care of the problem if you do not need to adjust it too tight. If you choose to do the adjusting and feel you have adjusted the running belt thinking it would resolve the slipping, then back the tension down until it the running belt is slipping then adjust until the slippage is resolved.

My walking belt is off cener

Here are two solutions one is to get the belt centered on the treadmill and the other is to tighten the belt.

There should be two bolts in the rear of the treadmill, one on each side. These bolts adjust the rear roller of the treadmill. The walking belt will always go to the side that is looser. To get the belt back on track, (if you can start the treadmill so the belt is running) tighten the bolt on the side that the belt has slipped to. Tighten the bolt a little bit at a time. If you tighten the bolt too much, then the belt will go to the other side.

To tighten the belt, start by locating the two bolts that adjust the rear roller (one on each side of the unit in the back). Run the unit at about 3 mph. Tighten the bolts a 1/4 turn at a time. Make sure that what you do to one side, you MUST do to the other side or the belt will get off center. After you tighten it 1/4 turn, check the belt to see if it is still slipping. If it is then tighten the belt 1/4 turn again. Continue until the belt does not slip, but do not tighten the bolts more than 2 full turns.

My Proform 650v treadmill stop when running after couple of miles

Most likely a bad drive belt. Take the cover off the motor area. If you see black dust near the left side of the motor, replace the drive belt.
