2. Your Treadbelt is loose
3. Your drive belt is loose

You may also have a combination of two or more of the above issues. Exercise equipment service Treadmills Ellipticals and Bikes Parts Assembly...

Precor Error 29, Excessive AC Input Current Probable Cause 1. The running belt and/or deck are badly worn. 2. Bad lower PCA. 3. Drive motor is shorted or de-magnetized causing a high power demand. Corrective Action

1. Check the amp draw using a clamp on AC volt-amp meter during loaded and no load conditions and compare values to a similar treadmill that is known to have a good running belt and deck. Replace the belt and/or deck if necessary. Don't forget, some units have a double sided deck which means it may be flipped over rather than replaced if it has an unused side.
2. Test unit with a known good lower PCA. Replace lower PCA if necessary.
3. Test unit with a known good drive motor. Replace drive motor if necessary

Dear Sir, all depend how much do you want to spendGuide from some friend, relative or some nutrional instructor.God bless you

Have you checked the drive belt @ the motor, if it is OK then check the fuse, if it is ok then the brushes in the motor may be worn out

This is most likely caused by a worn treadbelt. Try lubing the belt Have unit looked at by a qualified tech #wilitalube Treadmill Repair 877 805 1030 Wilita 100 silicone treadmill belt lubricant...

Hello

The common cause of the startup error is the Opto Sensor (Speed Sensor),either there is a poor connection of the opto (speed) sensor or it is out of adjustment or bad.

Check the opto (speed) sensor connection and wires. Make sure the opto (speed) sensor is evenly spaced over its disk. Replace if you find any broken or damaged wires. Inspect cable and connection of opto (speed) sensor. Repair and replace damaged cable or connection of the opto(speed) sensor.

Inspect alignment of opto (speed) sensor. Sensor should be centered evenly over target. Adjust or replace opto (speed) sensor if necessary

Your sensor might look ok but you have to inspect it very carefully.

somthing is tripping the fuse.take hood off and check all connections with power off maybe somthing is loose or touching to trip the fuse and the red led is normal. also always plug your tread in to a surge protector. most likely the controller board

you need to tighten the w/belt. the side that the belt goes to tighten 3 quarter turns. now on the other side loosen 2 quarter turns. turn on the the belt on 3or 4 setting the belt should start moving over when it get to where you want it tighten the sid e you first loosen 2 quarter turn. then run it at higher speed to see if it stays its trial and error remember rightie tightie leftty loosie. in the end you want equal tension with the rollers bolts ps good tension is 2 -3 inches up when lifting up the sides of the w/belt

Hi,


You must calibrate the belt with a Allen wrench 5/16 inch turn in the direction of clockwise at a speed of 1.5 to reach 4.5MPH you must turn the key gently to prove that you slide about 10 seconds walk.Use WD40 oil on the joints to make it noise free.

Thank you for using fixya have a nice day:-)

locate the sound by using long screw driver

it is mostly cases one or twi of the roller bearings are bad

hi
1 reason could be belt and deck(motor draws a lot of amps and belt and deck heats the motor up)

just try wax or libricate compatible lube and try (belt and deck lube you can buy from gympart.com

It sound like the Motor Control Board is failing call Life Fitness @ 1-800-351-3737 they will give you additional information and locate a servicer in your area

What error code in there? If the console display looks strange or has an error message and is not functioning... unplug the unit to reset the console and then plug it back in.

Do this multiple times if the console error message still appears. If the problem still exists please call customer service. We can't do it more without the exact error code.

Likely the "FET error" appear in this devices, so, this message is caused by the driver transistor on the motor controller has shorted out. Unfortunately, the fix is replacing the motor controller.

Its possible that you are interestin in obtain the owners manual or visit the FAQs for other details.

Hope helps.

Fet error is caused by the drive component(s) on the motor control board going open circuit or faulty. This is caused by poor power supply or excessive friction on the running belt which in both cases leads to excessive heat build up in the control electronics.
The Motor controller will need to be repaired or replaced and the heat issue resolved.

Error 1 - Start up error. This is caused because the belt was commanded to move and the opto (speed sensor on the motor) has not seen any movement or the belts movement was interrupted prior to it reaching its commanded speed. To fix Verify opto operation in Diagnostics, Motor Test
Mode, Section 2. Verify DC voltage at connector P6 pins 1 and 2. Verify that LED 4 on the Motor Controller flashes as the motor moves. Let me know if you need any more help. Fitness Fix-It

FET Stuck on Error / Err 5 - This error is probably caused by the driver transistor on the motor controller is detected to be shorted out. The fix is replacing the motor controller.
