Last time treadmill ran, my son says it was fine, then all of the sudden very high speed and then stopped. We could smell something burnt.
I take the cover off and find good connections to the MCB, but there is a blown fuse.
I replaced the fuse, the lights on the MCB turn on when power is plugged in and the electronic displays as well.
Turn the treadmill to START and the motor goes very fast and within .5 seconds the fuse is blown again.
Tried the motor on a 12V car battery - works no problem, turns slowly without noises or sparks.
Also, when I replace the fuse and plug in to power, a yellow LED on the MCB lights up. That LED has "SPEED" printed next to it.
I am VERY new to treadmills, can you treat me like a 5 year old?
What is wrong and can I fix/replace anything?
It is Free Spirit treadmill 302001, I believe. I can upload pictures of the board if needed. Much appreciated.
(I know there are similar threads to this one, but I wanted to describe my particular case and the treadmill model)
