If you've already replaced the lift motor on your Proform 400s Treadmill and the incline still won't work properly, there may be other underlying issues that need to be addressed. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

The motor on my proform 395e elliptical has begun humming and it is getting louder and louder. Is there a remedy?
There are a few potential remedies for a humming motor on a Proform 395e elliptical:
- Tighten any loose parts: If the humming noise is coming from the motor, it could be caused by loose parts that are vibrating against each other. Try tightening any screws or bolts that may be causing the noise.
- Check the belt: The belt that connects the motor to the elliptical's flywheel may be loose or damaged, which can cause a humming noise. Tighten the belt or replace it if it is damaged.
- Check the flywheel: If the flywheel is damaged or out of balance, it can cause the motor to vibrate and make a humming noise. Check the flywheel for damage and replace it if necessary.
- Check the motor bearings: If the motor bearings are worn or damaged, they can cause the motor to vibrate and make a humming noise. Check the motor bearings and replace them if necessary.
If you are unable to identify the source of the humming noise or fix it yourself, it is recommended that you contact Proform customer service or a qualified technician for assistance.
Proform 9000 trips power as soon as we turn it on. Anyone else had this issue?
Unplug the treadmill from the surge suppressor and plug in a typical house vacuum.
Turn on vacuum. If breaker does not trip from the vacuum then treadmill power supply is likely kaput.
If breaker trips then likely it's not the treadmill. Bypass surge suppressor by plugging vacuum directly into same wall outlet as the suppressor. If breaker again trips, it's not the suppressor and more likely there is some type of circuit overload or other fault in the house branch circuit.
