Why did my treadmill stop abruptly while in use?

Reset the circuit breaker on the house circuit. Immediately on placing the safety key on, the circuit blew again. Tried once more. Went to the treadmill reset button, found it stuck in what I think is the off position, i.e. in the reset unit. I'm guessing this has created a short circuit. Don't have a manual. How do i find the appropriate part? When I fix this is there likely another problem? Thanks

    Thanks. I did check the cord and it is ok. I will try changing the house circuit, but I wasn't clear that the reset unit has failed. I can

    Sorry. I can't get the reset button to return to normal position. Until I fix or replace that I think I am unable to go further. Can you tell me how to fix it or determine the appropriate part to purchase? My treadmill is an older model (Endurance 5K) and I have not found a source for a manual or schematic. Thanks for your help.

Your assumption is correct, if you have a household circuit breaker popping, you have a short or over current situation. If you have too many other things plugged into the same circuit you could be overloading that breaker. Depending on how your home is wired, you could have a few (older homes may have quite a few) outlets feed by a single breaker. If you have used the treadmill in that outlet (with the same items plugged into that circuit), the breaker it's self MIGHT be going bad (popping at too low of current).

For safety, inspect the power cord, for any damage, and be replaced if there is any.

If the power core is undamaged, I would try plugging the treadmill in another circuit. Choose an outlet that was not affected when the breaker popped. It you use an extension cord to get to another outlet, be sure it's rated for enough current. If it still pops the same breaker it's the same circuit, and you need to plug it in somewhere else (probably in another room). If a different breaker pops, then the short in in your treadmill. At this point you will need to know something about electricity to further isolate the short.

My NordicTrack E3000 will turn on but the walk belt won't turn. What are potential solutions for this?

If the NordicTrack E 3000 belt won't turn, there are a few things you can check to fix the issue:
  1. Power source: Make sure the treadmill is plugged in and the power switch is turned on. If the treadmill is not receiving power, the belt will not turn.
  1. Safety key: Check that the safety key is properly inserted into the console. The treadmill will not operate without the safety key in place.
  1. Belt tension: Check the tension of the belt by lifting it in the center. The belt should lift about 2-3 inches off the deck. If the belt is too loose or too tight, adjust the tension bolts at the back of the treadmill.

  1. Lubrication: Check the belt for signs of wear or dryness. If the belt is dry or worn, it may need to be lubricated or replaced. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the belt if needed.

  1. Motor: Check the motor for signs of damage or wear. If the motor is not functioning properly, it may need to be repaired or replaced.

  1. Circuit breaker: Check the circuit breaker on the treadmill. If it has tripped, reset it and try again.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact a professional technician for further assistance.

Nordictrack elite 900 - Does not power on

Sorry to hear that your NordicTrack Elite 900 treadmill stopped working. Here are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the power source: Make sure the treadmill is plugged into a working electrical outlet and the power cord is securely connected to the treadmill.
  2. Check the circuit breaker: Locate the circuit breaker on the treadmill and make sure it hasn't tripped. If it has, reset it and see if the treadmill powers on.
  3. Check the safety key: If the safety key is not properly inserted or damaged, the treadmill will not power on. Make sure the safety key is securely in place and not damaged.
  4. Check the fuse: Some treadmills have a fuse on the power supply board or control board. You can check the owner's manual to see if your treadmill has a fuse and where it's located. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of the same rating.
  5. Check the motor: If the motor is faulty, the treadmill will not power on. You can use a multimeter to test the continuity of the motor. If the motor is not working, you may need to replace it.
  6. Check the control board: If the control board is not working properly, the treadmill will not power on. You can test the control board with a multimeter to see if it's receiving power and sending signals to other components.
If you're not comfortable troubleshooting these issues on your own, it may be best to contact a professional technician or the manufacturer for assistance.

Replace any parts that need replacing, or is large enough to trigger with a pencil eraser or Q-tip. Plug the treadmill plug back into the wall. Use the Q-tip to press the reset button. It may be necessary to hold the reset button down for a few seconds. "CL11" will appear in the display of the treadmill.

Press the reset button one more time with the Q-tip. "CL21" should appear on the screen. Press the enter key. The display will change again and show "CL22." Keep pressing the enter key until the numbers cycle through to the number "CL26." Press enter one more time. The letter E should appear on the display screen.

I have an Ifit treadmill. I was changing speeds and it turned off and won't restart. It beeps when i turn it on but no lights on console.

Power issues with ProForm treadmills fit into two categories: the power does not turn on or the power shuts off when using the treadmill. If the power will not turn on, make sure that the treadmill is plugged into a working power outlet. In addition, you should use a single-outlet surge protector for the treadmill. Single-outlet surge protectors protect the machine from any voltage changes that may occur in your home.

If the machine is plugged into a working outlet, make sure the safety key is in the keyhole on the console. If the safety key is not plugged into the machine or if it is pulled out during operation, the treadmill will not operate.

Finally, make sure the circuit breaker located on the frame near the power cord is set to "Reset." The circuit breaker is set to "Reset" if the top of the button is pushed in. When the breaker is tripped, push it back to the "Reset" position and wait five minutes before powering on the treadmill.

If the ProForm treadmill shuts off during operation, check the power cord and circuit breaker as described above. You can also try removing and reinserting the safety key.

Just was given the exp2000 from a family member, machine is plugged in and when powered on, it immediately flashes all lights then it goes black. ALSO, we just noticed the key is missing. Would that effect...

1) Find the key.

2) Follow this:
    • 1

Ensure that the treadmill is plugged into a grounded outlet using the correct surge suppressor. Use a UL 1449 suppressor listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). It must be rated for 15 amps and 120 volts AC. Secure the services of an electrician if the outlet is not grounded, or move the Proform treadmill near a grounded outlet. Do not use an extension cord.

    • 2

Insert the safety key fully into the display. Treadmills with keys are designed not to turn on without the safety key in place.

    • 3

Find the circuit breaker on the front of the frame and make sure it is not tripped. The circuit breaker is a vertical switch on the 540S and a horizontal switch on the 540 Interactive Trainer. Press it to the "Reset" position, which will be labeled.
2. Reed Switch

o 1

Unplug the treadmill and remove the safety key.

o 2

Move the upright base of the treadmill down with the help of another person and lift the uprights so that you can get to the underside of the console. Use a Phillips screwdriver with at least a 5-inch shaft to remove the screws. There are five hood screws on the 540 Interactive trainer and four screws on the 540S.

o 3

Remove the motor hood to get to the small reed switch by pivoting the hood off the frame. Find the reed switch and magnet, which are on the left side of the pulley for both models.

o 4

Turn the pulley with your hand until the reed switch aligns with the magnet. There should be 1/8-inch gap between the two. Fix the distance so that it is 1/8 inch by loosening the reed switch screw and sliding it to the correct distance. Tighten the screw.

o 5

Reverse the directions to put the hood back on and the treadmill upright in the original position.
