Hi guys,
I am trying to narrow down a problem with my Proform 530 zlt treadmill. The device powers on with no issues, all the electronics work as intended with the exception of the motor. As soon as the start button is pressed the motor does try to fire up then the fuse blows.
I have tried a few things such as:
Remove power to the motor and test if it still trips: It does not trip and the timer on treadmill begins.
Plug a lamp in to the power where the motor connects. Power does not trip and the lamp is illuminated.
I have tested the belt resistance and it seems ok.
I have used a battery to power the motor and it turns the belt.
I have opened up the motor to see if the armature or brushes are worn and as far as i can tell all seems good.
I have checked the board and see no discoloration or swollen capacitors all looks good.
So im a little confused, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you|
