Apparently it has started cutting out after about 15 minutes. The whole thing just stops and the power goes off. I think it was second hand from ebay and therefore not under any sort of warranty. Would any of you know who she could contact to try to get it fixed? I can't find a 'treadmill repair' section in the yellow pages thanks
