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
