When I turn the unit on, there is a very loud guttural sound coming from the motor which never goes away. 9/10 on a 1/10 scala.Also, a faint tinny sound is detected from inside the motor. At low speed, the motor occasionally changes speed with no apparent reason.
That sound is due to the bearing failing inside the motor this is cause by capacitance discharge thru the armature thru the bearings. these unit can be rebulit I 've done plenty

We have a couple Precor 954i treadmills that hav ethe same noise problem with the motor. I called Precor and they said the replacement motor is the same as the orginal. I do not want to buy the same motor if it is going to have the same problem a couple years down the road.
I would prefer to fix the motors if possible. I asked a couple service tech guys in my area and they say it is very hard to get the bearings out of the motor and to put back in.
Any advice on how to repair the motors is appreciated.
