Treadmill Servicing and Repair

1 watcher

SusiesueH Apr 2012 9:09pm, 15 Apr 2012 1479 posts	0 SusiesueH I was speaking to a friend earlier who runs occasionally and has a treadmill in the garage. 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

Running Fish Apr 2012 8:15am, 16 Apr 2012 188 posts	0 Running Fish when i've had this happen it's been because the surface of the deck has worn through. it therefore generates a lot more friction as the belt runs over it and the motor has to work harder and cuts out. belts and decks are standard replaceable parts and should be available on the net.
