It is common to see this error as and L5 error, but it is actually an LS error. The following information will define this error and give you the possible solutions to fix this issue.

LS Error with No Belt Movement on Landice Series Treadmills

LS Error on Landice L-Series Treadmills with No Belt Movement Probable Cause A LS error on the Landice L-Series treadmills can also look like L5 and this error code means there is a loss of speed signal. If this error occurs with no belt movement, the causes for the LS or L5 error are:A) Faulty upper display board or faulty relay board
B) Improper speed control wiring
C) Improper motor control wiring
D) Worn or faulty motor brushes
E) Faulty pwm/relay combo board or faulty drive motor
Corrective Action A) Enter Open Loop Speed mode and set treadmill speed to confirm proper line voltage to pwm board and that the green BELTSW light is lit on the relay board. Replace upper display board or relay board if necessary.
B) Inspect speed control wiring and correct wiring if necessary:

  1. Checking purple wire from V+ on pwm board to P3 on the relay board
  2. Checking orange wire from P1 on pwm board to P1 on the relay board
  3. Checking brown wire from P2 on pwm board to P2 on the relay board
  4. Confirm P3 on pmw board has no connection
C) Inspect motor control wiring, checking wires from motor to A+ and A-. Correct wiring if necessary.
D) Inspect motor brushes verifying brushes slide freely, are at least 3/8" long, are curved and have no burns or cracks. Also check the brush springs and verify that the brush copper wire is not burned or broken. Replace both motor brushes if necessary.
E) Inspect motor turns and is not seized up or has a broken shaft. Replace motor if necessary. Also verify at least 90VDC present from the black (A+) wire and white (A-) wire from the pwm board to the drive motor. If voltage is present, replace pwm/relay combo board. If no voltage present, replace drive motor.

SOURCE: i have a error reading of l5 or ls not too sure york fitness z16

Hi,

The L5 message means that there is a problem with the speed setting switches. Some models have one set of speed adjusting stitches on the handlebar and another set on the console. One of them is defective and is causing the problem.

SOURCE: Landice L7 gives me a L5 reading on the screen

Your L7 error looks like L5 , but its really LS which mean lost signal. Unplug unit take motor shroud off then plug unit back in wall outlet. When looking in front unit you will see a Motor control board and there are LED lit up one of them should be an amber light this is you speed sensor which is attached to the top of your motor. Manually rotate the fly wheel and see if that light flickers if it does then your speed sensor is working properly if not replace speed sensor. The next thing to look at is the motor brushes to if they are worn unplug unit you should see slitted caps on both side of motor remove them if they are less than 3/8" they need replacing. That for the most parts should take of your problem. Call Landice @ 1800-526-3423 have the serial# handy their on all the components in the unit

SOURCE: the treadmill starts then after a few seconds it

More likely LS= Loss Signal open the motor shroud on the motor their should be a cylindrical shape sensor (magnetic). Plug in treadmill and on the motor control board their should be a L E D (red or amber) by manually rotating the motor you should see that light flicker if it does sensor is good if not replace sensor. Next thing if sensor is good check motor brushes to see if they are mis-align or worn if worn less than 3/8" in length replace them

L5 code after ten seconds from start up

If you have a known good speed sensor (reed switch) and you have tested it with an ohm meter (even new ones can be bad although not likely) all that is left is a motor brush issue or a bad upca. Pull the motor brushes and see if they still have life in them. Most brushes have lines formed in the sides to show where they need to be longer than to be acceptable. check the commutator and make sure it is clean as well. Use a stone to clean it if necessary. If all this checks out then you are looking at a bad upca.

My treadmill start and about 5 seconds it shows L5 and stop

Lube inmediately the deck belt, the shut down is for to protect the electronic system.maybe you have deck worn.
2) Lube the rollers bearing very well
3) Test the input voltage motor, if there are the motor need repair.
4) Test the output voltage board, for input voltage motor, if there are NOT the board is faulty.

God bless you

New free spirit treadmill - L5 code what does it mean?

Yeah - the sensor is the problem... It is magnetic... You can find it next to the wheel on the belt - It is fairly small.... There is a metal disc in the wheell on the belt that is a magnet.. As it passes by the sensor - the sensor registers the magnet and can simply calculate speed based on the frequency of the passes... Sometimes the sensor slides too far back and ergo can`t register the magnet passing by - Then you get the L5 error...

Smoothfitness 7.1hr would not run

Sounds like the motor is stuck or bad. Get into the front panel near the roller and remove that cover and check it with a volt meter
