How can i fix my Sportcraft TX400 Treadmill?

My treadmill works only for 7 seconds after i turn it on, and after it stops, the calorie counter displays 3, however, the speed sensor works just fine (i checked it with a multimeter), is there any chance there could be something else wrong with my treadmill?

my tx 400 sounds as thought the motor wants to start but 6 sec after the calorie display shows 3

the sensor tests good (meter test). the motor is a new one

i've removed the belt just to see if the motor starts on its own but it does not. i'm suspecting that a component or components on the motor board is faulty.

I'VE also noticed if i increase the starting speed the unit runs o.k

Mine stops after a few seconds and displays a #4. What does this mean?

Take the cover off over the motor, on the frame next to the pulley wheel is a little plastic sensor with 2 wires hooked to it. Give it a tap if that does not work it may need to be replaced.

I just bought one off of a friend for $200 and i brought it home and it does the same exact thing, i have been trying to look up a motor for it, but i cant seem to find anything yet. because it seems that the motor doesnt was to pull the belt and it stops itself and i even smelled it burning.. Someone Help!!!!

Same problem here! If it's the motor this soon, they're basically disposable treadmills. What a waste of money.

Did you find the problem? My treadmill is giving me the same display after 7 sec.

it is more than likely going to be the motor from our experience on the aussie models, Chris-Gym Tech Australia
