I know little about electronics but would sure like to learn more and would appreciate and thank you in advance for your inputs. Also, this treadmill belongs to my 80 year old father in law and it would greatly improve our relationship if I could fix this thing for him. I can see that there have been quite a few questions concerning treadmill repair and I am sure you are tired of them but hope you can help me.
With all that being said here is essentially the problem as I can understand it. Basically, the motor won't run or turn. The treadmill is a Tempo Fitness Model 611T and was purchased new in 2010. I see the circuit board that the motor is plugged into says Johnsonfitness. I will try post a few pics here. I assume that this board is the motor control board seeing that the motor is plugged into it. I don't know what number it would be and have no reverse side pic of it at this time but will sure try to get more pics if needed
When the speed is set and the start button pressed the inclination motor will go up to the end and then an error message shows on the display but the motor doesn't start. Again if you press the start button the inclination motor will start and go down or the other way and come to a stop and again the error message but no drive motor start.
I called the service support and after their instructions used a portable drill battery to see if the motor turned and it did. They said that the board was faulty and wanted to send a new one for only $200.00. That was not an option for obvious reasons so here I am.
If I cannot get it working back to normal he would be happy to just get the motor to turn in someway that he could control the speed and thus be able to use it without the bells and whistles.
Thanks for any help.
