Nordic track c2255 trips on/off (circuit breaker) instantly as soon as it is plugged in. Have checked cord for shorts and have unplugged each device that is plugged into the maine circuit board, to try to isolate. But still trips. Could it be the main circuit board? Is there any way to test. Thanks
Is the wall receptacle defective? Have you plugged something else into the same wall receptacle without circuit breaker activating? Test with another appliance that also has the third round ground prong. If this is not the problem then yes an electrical short exists within the treadmill, inspect the cord itself for loose prongs, there may be liquid damage inside from a previous liquid spillage which would cause an electrical short.

Hold down the speed up button and the stop button while inserting the operator key,if a bunch of numbers come up hit stop once, if nothing changed the console is bad.If the numbers change pull the key and reinsert it again, if nothing changes the console is bad.Also there usually is a tech sheet and test mode guide on the inside of the motor cover if you remove the screws and take the motor cover off you will see a white paper with lots of info.
SOURCE: Nordic Track treadmill trips GFI.
Have you lubricated the the running deck? The lack of lubrication can increase friction thus causing the GFI to trip. simple test start the treadmill do not walk on a see if the GFI is tripped in it does trip then lubricate, then if after lubricate it still the you have a worn belt and possibly damaged deck depending replacement price and on what you paid for the treadmill it may or may not be worth fixing.
Dear Sir:
If you can the change the resistor is o.k ,depending about your skill in electricity or electronic.Remember when you change, but the exactly as indicated in the board. For example the resistor has color code, I can recomend you can buy some chart from Radio Shack, for you will see the exactly value+tolerance)Very Important+Power of resistor.
Meanwhile, if the resistor is Sparking, is indicating there are some short-circuit in the board. By that reason when you change the resistor if the trouble persist, you must send the board or call some service tech from some company for assist you in this problem
Other alternative that you have is RUN THE calibration SOFTWARE,that is coming with your equipment, the instruction most of them coming from the Hood of the motor, other your must use your Instruction Manual.This is important for easy Diagnose and Troubleshooting from your treadmill. Remember this very Complex equipment electronic.
sincerely. God bless you.

1) you must LUBE THE DECK BELT+ ROLLER BEARING.
2) Test the input voltage motor, if there are the MOTOR is faulty need REPAIR.
3) Test the output voltage board, for input voltage motor, if there are NOT the board is faulty.
4) SEE THE BLOCK DIAGRAM, whatever component can be faulty.
However you must test the power cord for short circuit between cable, repair, and look inside according the BLOCK, and proceed with logic, see any loose wires, or some wires touching the carcase, some filter, coil, power supply USE the VOM.
God bless you
SOURCE: Horizon 4000 treadmill is tripping mains circuit breaker and blowing plug fuse
see my personal TIPS and test the motor.
2) the main board can be faulty, replace
3) lube the machine for a DECK belt , the resistance can be another cause.
4) lube the roller bearing too.
5) test the power supply for faulty
see the block.
God bless you
