Had my treadmill for 4 years from new. When using it a few weeks ago it went off. I reached down and the power cord felt loose so i pushed it in. The machine came on then blew the main breaker straight away. Treadmill is located in garage.
Anyway I've narrowed down the issue and it seems to be either the top console or the motor. I've had the motor control board tested by a treadmill engineer and he said it's fine. When i connect the console to the control board the treadmill powers on fine, without the motor connected.
When i disconnect the console and attach the motor to the board, it switches on fine and doesn't blow the breaker. I've also tested the motor using a drill battery and it started moving the belt fine.
However when the console and motor are both attached to the board the breaker blows.
The motor is under guarantee. Any help would be appreciated, is it the console or the motor?
