Hi guys, I have a what I suspect is a faulty control board for a treadmill.
Put it this way I’ve replaced probably 4 MOSFETS already infact I’ve replaced every part at least once that is attached to the heatsink.
As you can probably tell I’m not well versed in things electronic...... although I’ll give it a good go!!
when I last replaced everything I was getting about 13v dc from the motor connections. I connected a bulb ran up through speeds the bulb got brighter etc etc as expected.
I’ve checked the motor and think it’s ok, as in I’ve stripped it and visually inspected it. Everything seemed fine. I ran it in both directions on a 12v golf cart battery and it runs both backwards and forwards.
I disconnected the motor from the belt and attached it to the controller and set it to speed 4, it ran fine for a few minutes then Upto speed 10 ran fine again for a few minutes put it to speed 22 and the motor crackled some blue sparks flew out the rear of the motor and the plug fuse blew.
Basically I’ve gone through probably 6 13amp plug fuses as it blows both my treadmill fuse and extension lead fuse and several mosfets which I have to buy from eBay as I can’t find a decent alternative from any component suppliers over here in the U.K!
Can anyone maybe help at all? Am I missing something else on the board that could potentially be faulty?? All the components seem fine, and I realise that doesn’t mean they are but I’m not really sure what it would likely be other than the FETs and how I would go about checking with a multi meter if anything else was bad! I’ve read through most the post on here regarding this issue but have failed to find any solution to my problem.
Hopefully someone can save this treadmill going on the scrap heap...... plus I could really do with loosing some weight as the ole pandy gave me an incredible ability to eat everything in sight!!
Thanks I’m advanced.
