NordicTrack Treadmill Summit 5500 starts normally and runs about 5 minutes then stops, console lights remain on. Unplug safety key and plug back in, starts and runs another 5 minutes and stops ----.

If the NordicTrack E 3000 belt won't turn, there are a few things you can check to fix the issue:

1. Power source: Make sure the treadmill is plugged in and the power switch is turned on. If the treadmill is not receiving power, the belt will not turn.

1. Safety key: Check that the safety key is properly inserted into the console. The treadmill will not operate without the safety key in place.

1. Belt tension: Check the tension of the belt by lifting it in the center. The belt should lift about 2-3 inches off the deck. If the belt is too loose or too tight, adjust the tension bolts at the back of the treadmill.

1. Lubrication: Check the belt for signs of wear or dryness. If the belt is dry or worn, it may need to be lubricated or replaced. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the belt if needed.

1. Motor: Check the motor for signs of damage or wear. If the motor is not functioning properly, it may need to be repaired or replaced.

1. Circuit breaker: Check the circuit breaker on the treadmill. If it has tripped, reset it and try again.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact a professional technician for further assistance.

The safety key contacts in the console are dirty or have failed. The console will have to be repaired before normal operation can resume.

• roperly connected to the NordicTrack and plugged fully into a grounded electrical outlet if the machine does not turn on. If the unit is plugged in correctly, look at the reset switch, located on the frame near the power cord. If the switch is flipped open, wait five minutes then push the switch back in.
• Remove the key from the console, wait a minute and reinsert the key back into the console if the buttons on the console are not functioning properly. If the console stays on when the key is taken out of the console, the device is likely still in "Demo" mode. Hold down the "Stop" button for a few seconds to turn off the "Demo" mode and restart the unit.
• Turn the machine off and unplug the machine if the console display is not working correctly. Wait a few minutes and plug the machine back into the electrical supply and turn on. The console should now operate correctly.
• Hold down the "Stop" and "Speed" buttons at the same time if the incline is not changing as desired. Insert the key into the console while holding down the buttons and then release the buttons. Press the "Stop" button and the arrows to increase or decrease the incline. This will cause the incline to recalibrate. Remove the key from the console unit.

the SAFETY key attaches to the console of the treadmill usually by a magnet and is linked to the users clothing so if they fall they pull the safety key off and the treadmill automatically stops. The treadmill will not work without the safety key in place

Unplug the treadmill. Locate the console key and place the safety or reset key into the treadmill console. Replace any parts that need replacing, or is large enough to trigger with a pencil eraser or Q-tip. Plug the treadmill plug back into the wall. Use the Q-tip to press the reset button. It may be necessary to hold the reset button down for a few seconds. "CL11" will appear in the display of the treadmill.

Press the reset button one more time with the Q-tip. "CL21" should appear on the screen. Press the enter key. The display will change again and show "CL22." Keep pressing the enter key until the numbers cycle through to the number "CL26." Press enter one more time. The letter E should appear on the display screen.

Press enter twice more. The letters "SS" should appear on the screen. When this happens, press the start/stop key. Making sure to keep well away from the tread, press enter to start the treadmill. The treadmill will start on its own. The treadmill will stop on its own after a few seconds. When it stops, press the power key two times. Remove the safety key and put in a safe place.

I have a NordicTrack C2155. Incline not working. There is a schematic inside. There are red, white, & black wires from the circuit board to the incline motor. Unplug the treadmill and have a licensed electrician construct a flying lead cord with a male spade on neutral and female spade plug on hot. Connect neutral to white and hot to where either red or black were connected. Plug in to see if the motor runs. Careful to remove power when the incline reaches its limit and reverse direction. If the motor runs in both directions, the motor is good. Follow the black two conductor wire to the circuit board and unplug from board. Check continuity across this switch. Run motor and this should toggle off and on. If all this checks out then the problem must be with the circuit board. On my treadmill, the schematic says that +5v should supply the sensor, but I only get +3.3v, which is TTL level. The drive motor sensor supply is +5v. The incline motor doesn't even show a sign of trying to run. Either the output transistor is burnt out or the low voltage caused an error so that it does not try to run the motor. Either way, I'm quite certain that a new controller board will remedy the problem.

Check the power cord to ensure it is connected to the power supply and the treadmill if the power does not stay on or does not turn on. Look at the circuit breaker, located near the base of the unit, to see if the circuit was tripped. Push the switch back in to reset the circuit.

2 Take the key out of the console, wait a minute and place it back in the console to resolve issues with the power turning on and off during use or if the console displays are not functioning properly.

3 Remove the console key and press the "Stop" button to turn off the "Demo" mode, which is often the default setting when the treadmill is first purchased.

4 Reset the incline by holding down the "Stop" and "Speed increase" buttons and putting in the console key. Release the buttons and then press the "Stop" button, followed by the down or up arrows for the incline. This step can be taken if errors are occurring with the incline function.

5 Turn the treadmill "Off" and unplug the unit if errors continue. Wait five minutes and then plug the unit back on, insert the console key, and turn the treadmill "On." This will reset the treadmill and should return to normal funcTION

Instructions

1. Power Turns Off When You're Using the Treadmill
   • 1 Check the reset switch on the bottom of the treadmill near the power cord. If it has tripped, the top of the switch will protrude. Wait 5 minutes then press the switch.
     
   • 2 Check that the power cord is plugged in completely. If it is plugged in, unplug it, wait 5 minutes then plug it back in.
     
   • 3 Remove the magnetic key from the console then reinsert it.
     
   The Console Won't Turn Off
   • 1 Insert the magnetic key into the console. Your C2500 is stuck in demo mode if the console won't turn off after you remove the magnetic key from the console.
     
   • 2 Hold the "Stop" button down for a few seconds.
     
   • 3 Press the "Speed" down (-) button. Remove the magnetic key.
     
   The Incline Does Not Change Correctly
   • 1 Press and hold the "Stop" and the "Speed" up (+) button. While holding the buttons, insert the key into the console, then release the buttons.
     
   • 2 Press either the "Incline" up or down arrow button. Wait while the incline raises and lowers. This recalibrates the incline system.
     
   • 3 Remove the key from the console.
     
   Walking Belt Slows
   • 1 Unplug your C2500 and remove the key from the console.
     
   • 2 Turn both rear adjustment bolts, located on the back of the walking deck, to the left, a 1/4 turn.
     
   • 3 Lift the edge of the walking belt in the middle of the deck. You should be able to lift it 2 to 3 inches off the walking platform. If the belt is still too tight, loosen the bolts another 1/4 turn each.
     
   • 4 Plug the treadmill in and reinsert the console key. Walk on the belt at a slow speed to see if it still slows. Repeat Step 2 if necessary.
     

Check the main harness running up to the console through the leg. unplug it and use a volt meter to test the red and black wires. You should have 9-12 vdc if you do and the console is not lighting check that the safety key is in place. If it is and it is still not coming on the console is malfunctioning and would need replaced. If there is no voltage coming through the harness then you will need to check the harness for continuity. If harness tests ok then the controller is malfunctioning and would need replaced.
