Wow, what a great informative video! You explained everything so well. I am a 69 y/o female and my treadmill would speed up when I turned it on. I considered throwing it out, but this information was so helpful that I might try replacing the speed sensor and fixing it myself. Thank you so much.
After various attempts to rectify the issue, I resigned myself to live with it. So I began making a ready reckoner Table to calibrate displayed Speed/Distance Vs. actual Speed/Distance. For this purpose, I spent an hour calibrating the actual speeds at each setting and tabulated the results. I plotted the actual vs. displayed results on a graph and found the curve to be linear in both cases, but different by a constant slope. Using elementary trigonemetry and algebra, I found the equations for the two straight lines. As observed earlier, the two lines different by a constant slope. And today morning while I was walking on the treadmill, it suddenly occured to me that the difference factor was almost the same as the conversion factor between miles and kms !! Excited, I stopped the machine, and tried various cominations of pressing the SET/RESET/MODE buttons before I finally hit upon the right combo that reset the readings to KM from MILES. So now everything is hoity-toity again.. and I can see that the displayed and actual values are almost same !! So what must have happened before was, unknowingly by pressing some combination of buttons, me or my wife must have reset the units from KMS to MILES !!
great video. I have a treadmill which seems to start up ok but when I run for sometime at above 10km/h it will I think stop for a milisecond (hardly notice it stop) except that it makes you stumble. Wonder is this the speed sensor or a heat protector sensor ?
Great video! May I ask you what will happen if when the magnetic is broken ? My treadmill starts and then stops after 1 second and the switch circuit breaker goes off....
Thanks very much @theoverengineer. I used this video to fix the tracker on my York Fitness Rower by locating the sensor and moving it closer to the flywheel, as per ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i5oBFEfX1og.html. Thanks to your video, I learned how a speed sensor works (close to, but not touching the magnet) too.
Mi caminadora marca error 3 y comúnmente este es por problema en sensor de velocidad, pero no existe ningún sensor físicamente, al menos en mi caminadora. Solo tiene la tarjeta de control conectada al motor y a la consola de mando. Cómo podría yo reparar mi problema?
I have a horizon t101 and the belt stopped I did a test on the Motor and the ohms are spot-on and the motor turns connecting it to a battery. I have 3-5 v on the panel to the speed sensor, it is a three-wire speed sensor. I hear the clicking right before the motor is supposed to turn but it doesn't. The panel reads fine, what else could it be
Very informative. I decided to dust inside my TM today, and sprayed some WD44 around near the roller bearings at the ends. After putting back everything, noticed TM wan't showing correct speed. After checking your video, I could identify my speed sensor easily - its a rectangular piece. I wiped it clean and put it back again, but still the speed is wrong. The TM speed was correct until I fiddled. Wonder what's the problem..
Hi Sir, I have my traidmipl in my inslated garage, just a few weeks ago I noticed that my traidmill goes on full speed when I switch it on. I am. It sure if it the sensor, could it be the motherboard of it down. Cuz I noticed when I am on the traidmipl running for more than an 1hr I smell little funny smell. In your opinion is my traidmill is not repairable?!thank you in advance
Cleaning circuit board and motor fan blades and coils with compressed air, dry (no condensed water vapor droplets), medium pressure 40-80 psi could help with not burning dust on it as it heats up. But the load might be too much for the motor, insulation could be slowly melting. Keeping it dust-free definitely helps with keeping it cool and melting further.
@@mohammedshafi4887 I suppose it should be in your troubleshooting section of the user guide? on mine, an E03 means that there is no speed feedback from the motor even though the system is powering the motor. Check your speed sensor.
