Hi,
I have a Horizon T-20 treadmill, it powers up but the motor has stopped turning. This had happened to me a couple of years ago and I found D6 to be shorted, i replaced it and that fixed the problem but I noticed the that diode was running hot, so I mounted the diode on the frame of the treadmill to act as a big heatsink, that worked for over a year with no problems. Recently D6 was shorted again and the motor was not turning, I replaced D6 again and that did not fix the problem, I checked Q5, IRFP250, its not shorted, I also checked Q2, FET, that reads around 40 ohms, I suspect that is shorted, also checked all the diodes, resistors and transistors they all read good. What I like to know if any one has some input on this controller board as to the direction I should be going or has a schematic that I may borrow. I have read all the threads pertaining to Horizon treadmills but his one has me pulling my hairs, the few that I have.

Can anyone on this forum have any ideas or schematic on this controller board? It would be a big help.
Thank you.

I have the exact same board and situation. Pardon my beginner questions but with my OHM tester the q2 shows zero ohms no matter which way I test it. This is a nice challenge and hope my questions do not discourage help. Thanks

Max, Thanks for the help and excuse me for my ignorance in this matter. So I should remove the q2 (s6025l) and check for the resistance range. Which in OHMS should be? Where can I find the range? Thanks so much. And is must be moved so to provide a real test, correct.

It is more conclusive to remove the before checking.
Check on the low ohm range.
S6025 is an SCR, just that Q5 appears to be a Mosfet and unusual for a controller to mix the two?

Max, I removed the Q6 MOSPEC u15A60 no reading on the OHM meter. cut the Q5 and no mater which of the three prongs I paired the OHM meter with they went to zero. So I need to replace both parts?

Thanks for engaging me in this...

Whoa folks....is this the famed Horizon SJED08011DG or Horizon Part Number 013674DG ? If so, there are a couple of other parts to check when repairing these animals. Repost if things didn't work out, with a pic or part number ;o)
