SOURCE: i have a life fitness
one of two possibilities
one unplug treadmill ,open up the hood and make sure the main power plug on the motor control box is inserted properly then power up treadmill and see if problem is solved
two , the motor control board (mcb) is burned up, the most common cause of this is lack of waxing causing too much friction between the belt and deck board . if you have an auto waxer they clog up if not cleaned at least once a month
if this is the issue a resistor on the mcb usually is burnt
you can check this by removing the mcb out of the steel box , you can usually see the damage and/or smell the burnt electrical odor
if this is the case you need to get the mcb repaired contact glide fitness product in santa ana california 1 866 637 4600 to get all details and options, they have repaired many for me . be sure if you do this that you remove the wax board and small electrical unit on the outside of the box and put them in a safe place as you will have to put them back on the new box the cost is $200 which is a deal considering a new one is $1000 note that glide has a non clogging wax available to resolve this friction issue
good luck
SOURCE: One of our Life Fitness 95 Ti treadmills had smoke
remove the motor control box from under the hood, there is the motor control board (mcb) and capacitors inside the box remove the mcb and check for damage and /or burnt electrical smell also inspect condition of capacitors (4 round cylinders)
if this is the cause you need to get the board repaired
contact glide fitness products in santa ana california 1866 637 4600 for all information including shipping details i have had many repaired by them .the cost is $200 which is a deal considering a new one is $1000
the most common reason for mcb's burn up is a resistor blows due to overload caused by too much friction between the belt and deck board ,and that could be the result if you have an auto waxer nozzle that is plugged up . these nozzle should be cleaned out once a month
note that glide has a non clogging wax to eliminate this issue you ask them about this as well
if you have to send out for repair , make sure you remove the wax board and small electrical component on outside of box and keep them in a safe place as you will need to reinstall them on the new box good luck
