I have a Gold's Gym treadmill that everything seems to work on except the main motor.--You can adjust the incline, it takes your heart rate, counts how long the treadmill has been running and calories you've supposedly burned, and you can change the speed setting, but nothing happens with the main motor. The leads that should be powering it just show continuity from one to the other.
The treadmill came with a sheet that lists LED diagnostic codes. The LED on the controller board is not lit at all. Unfortunately, the condition listed for 'LED not lit' is 'no power.' But it does have power. There is AC power going into it (so I know the motor overheat switch is okay), and it's powering the console and incline motor. So the disagnostics aren't especially accurate or helpful. I was hoping someone who's familiar with this (fairly common) controller might be able to shed some light on how to diagnose and repair it. I can get a new one for ~$60, but I wouldn't learn anything by just replacing it. It would be awesome if I could actually ferret out the problem and fix the board that's in it.
Thanks in advance for any insight you might be able to provide.
