Treadmill Proform 450CX: unstable speed - no motor strengh

Proform 450CX Treadmil. Previous problem: When I press 'Start' , the house breaker is tripped straight away. Solution found according to previous post: change the IGBT. Now the treadmill is starting but the speed doesn't fit with the setting, it is unstable and the motor doesn't have strength: when I step on the belt the speed decrease and stop the motor. If I step off, the speed increase a little but continue to be unstable. Thanks for your help.

SOURCE: Hi. I have Proform 450CX.

hi,
You have to check the Driver circuit board for the motor. From your naration the motor is ok . Why the circut breaker trips because, if the IGBT( insulated gate bipolar transistor) is short then, when you press the start button the motor will try to drain a high current from the power line.IGBT controll the voltage to the motor.When it get shorted the applied voltage will gos to the motor without regulation. Also you have to check the rectifier diode. The IGBT will look like one in the picture. Check the ohms between the seond and third pins of the IGBT. It should be above 1 kohm. Remember one thing remove power before oppening working in the treadmill. Because it have live area all over the driver board
ok

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.
    • 3
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. Your treadmill is reset.move on to the next step.

My treasmil will not start, but all lights come on

hi hope you are well
If start is press it and do not start is indicative the Controller motor board is defective.
However you must sure the motor is ok, test the terminal motor for to see if there are voltages of DC, with DMM, and test too in the motor the thermical protector.
If there are voltages at terminal, the motor is good, the defective is the controller motor board.
Let me know

My treadmill won't run, but turns on

It sounds to me like during its move the drive belt came off off the motor that connects the motor to the walking surface. If the motor is not running at all after checking that I would look for a reset on the motor itself and check all connections. Not likely that the motor is fried but that would be the last in line for checking.

Healthrider s300i treadmill does not turn on

Check the fuses under the lower hood. One should be a 10 amp fues, the other should be 15 amp fuse.

Replace them if blown. If they should blow again, move the treadmil to an outlet closer to the fuse box/breaker box of the house. the house wiring where you have the treadmill may not be adequate for the treadmill.

My proform treadmill turns on and the inlcline works however the belt does not move. Any suggestions?

Enter calibration mode and do a calibration first.
Press the stop & speed up key, insert the safety key/magnet. Press stop 1 more time. Press speed up, the speed display should start to increase in value. By 30-40, the motor should be running. If not, you either need a motor or motor controller PCB. What model is the treadmill?? PCTL???

Treadmill stops running

I had simillar problem. I have proform 830 QT. My trademill stops after 10 minutes of work out. Everything shuts down and the circuit breaker pops out.

Root cause:- no lubrication under walking belt. Caused the moter to over work (over heat) and hence te circuit breaker popped out to prevent blowing of motor.

Solution:- Apply the lubricant under walking belt and adjust the belt tension if needed.

Back ground:- Contact proform customer service at 1-888-533-1333 (http://www.iconservice.com/proform/faq_tread.html) and buy the treadmil cleaning kit or lubricant kit which comes with a wand for easy application. It may cost you 35 dollars including shipping. If you need to fix your treadmil right away, use NAPA silicon spray 8300. Proform actually tells do not use it as it may damage your belt. However the specialst who came to fix my treadmill just sprayed it and collected 100 dollars. When I called proform they told me lubricating will fix it and its my mistake to not trust them. I guess they knew exactly what they were saying.
