hi folks, my treadmill has been in storage for a few months, i took it out for use & = found it stops about a second after the motor starts turning (with no load = on belt) the problem is intermittant in that by persisting with the start & stop but= tons eventually i can get the motor to run as it should & go for a run on i= t.once the treadmill is warmed up, however the problem does not reoccur.
i googled a bit & found a test to verify motor ok by connecting motor direc= t to a multimeter & reading off DC voltage at 3mph. i got 60v, which is wel= l above the minimum generally acceptable 28v. i checked that the speed sens= or is clean(even though it doesnt look like an optical one).
The controller board has a big cap on it & a relay. any ideas what to try n= ext? thanks L
