Precor C966i The unit turns off at random intervals. When reset it comes back on then shuts off a few minutes later. Error log is empty so not an error with software.

Error log is empty. Unit simply turns off at random. I Scrolled the speed upto 16 mph to test to see if a thermal switch was bad but it wouldn't trip even after 10 minutes of operation at maximum speed. I also turned the incline to bothe extremes -3 and +15 diagnostic menu shows no errors or even no serial number. The treadmill is refurbished. Would that be a thermal reset or fuse? or Maybe something to do with the treadmills belt motor brushes?

    Problem: The incline goes up on its own (e.g., you can run the treadmill and, while using it, the incline just goes up on its own..and I'm not in 'random mode').

    What I've done (per the Precor 9.23 service manual):
    - initiated the "initialization program"
    - "calibrated the lift motor"
    - I checked ohm reading on the potentiometer per the Precor manaual. From the board (JK3), the readings are fine (red-to-black = 10, red-to-white plus white-to-black = 10. When I read them from potentiometer itself (the other end of JK3, on the incline motor), the readings are off.
    - I have not seen any error codes

LUBE or wax the deck belt, this happen because you do not lube or wax your equipmente according with the schedule maintenance, you must do it, every week. Do it now.use 100% silicone lube-
2) LUBE the rollers bearing too use WD-40 for rollers b only.

Replacement Parts for Fitness Exercise Equipment at SPORTSMITH

I am not sure where you can find a used one, but I can find a couple of new options for you. Depending on your machine, there are two different motors available. One is for a 220V machine and the other is for 110V machine. I will post links to both.

Why does my PAC unit continuously flash PF at random and simultaneous intervals?

Wild guess this is a portable air machine? with a tube out a window? Wild guess, there's a condensate "leak" where it shouldn't be. The tank drain might be blocked for some reason. or level of the machine or coils are dirty in spite of the filter.

Precor error 15 input voltage

Precor Error 15, AC Input Voltage Too High Probable Cause 1. AC input voltage is incorrect.
2. AC input voltage transients. Transients can be caused by lightning strikes or by other pieces of equipment sharing the unit's AC power.
Corrective Action
  1. Verify AC feed into the building's circuit breaker is correct and connected to the proper transformer tap.
  2. Ensure the AC grounding for the unit's outlet is good and verify the unit is connected to an isolated and dedicated 20 amp circuit.

The belt on my Precor C966i treadmill is not running and the display is flashing an "Error 22" message - what's the problem?

Error 22 means the drive motor is diconnected. you will hear the fan and other parts make noise but check the red and black anderson connection between the main circuit board and motor.
