GT40s treadmill. Why doesn't it turn on?

I was running, it beeped a few times and then completely stopped. I changed the fuse and that hasn’t done anything.

Your treadmill may not be turning on due to a broken or a failed power supply or a broken power cord or a tripped circuit breaker switch a failed circuit breaker switch a bad power switch or wiring failure or a bad motor control board or failed console display screen can stop the treadmill from turning on. If the outlet is not working try to reset the house circuit breaker which is located inside of the fuse box to restore power to the outlet.

SOURCE: reebok i run treadmill stops working after 10 mins

If everything still works but no belt movement, you motor controller is more than likely shot. If replacing you want to also pay attention to the deck and belt. Sence it sut down while running, it sound it an over heating problem which is usually caused from too much friction between the walking belt and the deck(the board under it) May require lube or may need replacing.

Hi James
Unplug unit remove motor shroud then plug unit back in , press start and begin walking on the belt normally and try to stall the belt to make it slip ( planting foot to stop the belt).
Be careful during this test. If the problem is in the drive belt, either the drive belt will stop when stalled or the front roller will stop when stalled. Here is the procedure for adjusting the drive belt.
Find the motor mounts. Many motors in Icon treadmills have a main pivot joint in which a bolt runs the full length of the motor mount. This bolt will require loosening to provide maximum adjustability. Some models have a single jack bolt and others have an auto tensioner. Single jack bolts are the easiest to adjust.
Find the set bolt(s) on the motor. This is typically run through only one side of the motor mount or may be on both sides but it does not run the full length of the mounting. Loosen this bolt(s) but do not remove. Jack bolt models will have flat mounts and may contain up to four bolts.
Look for a bolt that will tension the motor. If it has this bolt, it typically runs in the same direction parallel with the drive and walking belts. If your treadmill is not equipped with this bolt, skip to Step 4. If your treadmill is equipped with this bolt (very few are) the repair will only require one person. Using 2 7/16" wrenches, make a few turns to this bolt, tighten the bolts and test your treadmill for slipping. If belt continues to slip, and if their is too much tension ( you should be able comfortably twist the drive belt 90 degrees ) then replace drive belt.
If the motor, drive belt, and front roller continue to turn when the walking belt is stalled, the problem is with the walking belt slipping on the front roller, here the procedure adjusting the walking belt.
If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the allen wrench, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise, 1/4 of a turn.When the walking belt is correctly tightened, you should be able to lift each side of the walking belt 3 to 4 inches off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Plug in the power cord, insert the key and carefully walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened
If the drive belt continues to turn but the front roller stalls, you may have a broken front roller pulley. If this is the problem, you will notice it because the plastic will usually make a loud squealing sound on the metal front roller. The front roller assembly will need to be replaced and the drive belt must be replaced also. We suggest replacing the drive belt as well because it is a low cost item and will most likely, have suffered unusual wear from the problem. Another possibility is that the drive belt has worn down. In some cases, belt dressing may help correct the problem. If not, the drive belt must be replaced.

SOURCE: How do I oil my Reebok i-run treadmill?

I have a problem with my reebok i walk i run treadmill. The belt does not move on the lower speeds and after using it there is a burning smell even though it is working fine once I get past the first two speeds. I have had it 2 years but have never oiled it as I am not sure how and where.

SOURCE: How do I turn off the "finished" signal? It beeps

Hi,

To turn the cycle completion signal do the following:

1. Press and hold the right "Cancel Drain" button then press and hold the On/Off button
2. When the light on the "Cancel Drain button you are pressing illuminates and the tone begins to sound release both buttons
3. Press the right-most "Cancel Drain button until the tone is either at the desired volume or silent
4. Press the On/Off button again to confirm/set desired volume

Hope this helps.

SOURCE: treadmill model 909 made by

surely there is some problem in the belt.

One of the ways to extend the life of your treadmill is to keep it clean and dust-free. Dirt and dust build-up, especially between the belt and the deck of your treadmill can cause excessive belt-deck friction. This in turn, can damage your electronics and even your motor.


You can check for excessive belt-deck friction by setting your treadmill around 4 MPH and walking on it. Press the stop button (or pull the emergency stop switch). You should have to take a few steps before the belt stops - if it stops suddenly there is probably a high friction problem.


Excessive belt-deck friction can also cause motor to stall or sound labored so again, keep your belt and deck free from dust and dirct and look out if this is a problem

My 2 years old Reebok one gt40s keeps on suddenly stopping after only few minutes walking on. Could anyone help me what to do?

There could be a few possible reasons why your Reebok One GT40s treadmill is stopping suddenly after only a few minutes of use. Here are a few things you can try:
  1. Check the power cord and outlet. Make sure that the power cord is securely plugged into the treadmill and the outlet, and that the outlet is functioning properly.
  2. Check the treadmill's safety key. The safety key is a small device that helps to prevent accidents by shutting off the treadmill if it becomes disconnected from the control panel. Make sure that the safety key is properly inserted into the treadmill and the control panel, and that it is not damaged or loose.
  3. Check the belt and deck. If the belt is slipping or the deck is not properly lubricated, it can cause the treadmill to stop suddenly. Make sure that the belt is properly aligned and tightened, and that the deck is adequately lubricated according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
  4. Check for any visible damage or loose parts. If you notice any visible damage to the treadmill or any parts that are loose or not functioning properly, it may be necessary to have the treadmill serviced by a professional.
I hope this information is helpful. If the problem persists after trying these steps, it is recommended to have the treadmill serviced by a professional to ensure that it is functioning safely and correctly.

My Reebok GT40S Treadmill has stopped working. When powered on it just clicks and no display appears. I have checked the only visible fuse I can see on the treadmill and that is working fine.

You need a new control board - around 65 UK pounds from Reebok (in uk) and pretty easy to fix. Remove 4 screws from plastic motor cover and remove cover. Loosen the circuit board hold-down screws (x2) then take phone/ipad photographs of board connections to aid re-assembly. Disconnect the 6 or 7 leads from their spade connectors. Fit new board, reconnect the leads in the same place using the photographs then, fit the two board retaining screws and replace the cover and 4 screws. Job done!
