My treadmill runs normally but the belt suddenly stops at random intervals and then does a slow restart within a couple of seconds. A relay clicks when the belt stops. I have a hobbyist interest in electronics but am certainly no expert. I will appreciate any help available to diagnose this problem.
The belt stops are becoming more frequent. They occur at the beginning and during an exercise session. Resisting the belt movement does not provoke the stop event. Lubrication did not help and there is no problem with bearings or drive belt.
The JDYF02L RevG motor control board has no obvious problems. After reading several threads about this board, I have tried to probe the key components and all seem to be intact. Specifically the kickback diode is good and the MOSFET has high resistance between all terminals. I have not yet separated the board from the heatsink so cannot say if other components may be defective.
Where should I start now? Although the three large caps have good physical appearance, is it possible for them to be the source of such an intermittent problem? Thanks in advance for all of you considering my problem!
