Treadmill Trouble


Seriously, we have had the worst luck. Jason and I purchased our first treadmill about a year and a half ago. We were having some trouble with it for the past few months and then it finally decided to die last week. Jason called the place we bought it from and worked out a deal with one of the guys that works there. He is a friend of Jason's brother, so he is being nice and helping us out. He gave us a sweet deal on a super nice treadmill plus is crediting the price of our old one towards the new one. Basically we got over half off and it was worth it to buy a new one. The treadmill arrived today around noon and Jason spent a good 3 hours working on it. I got a phone call around 3:15 and it was Jason telling me the treadmill was broken. He was setting the incline on the treadmill and it got stuck in an up position. Jason called the place back and is trying to figure out what we can do to fix the problem. Jason talked to the same buddy and he said we have the worst luck because he sells these all the time and he never gets calls with any problems. Our first treadmill had problems and now this new one has problems and we've never even used it! Hopefully everything will get fixed, or we are just going to send it back and get our money back since it's under warranty. So now there is a huge, massive treadmill stuck in the middle of our tiny living room for who knows how long. Best thing is my cousin and her husband are coming over tonight to spend the night. I was planning on getting them settled in the living room, I guess it's time for plan B. Good thing we have a second bedroom!

Jason tore the thing apart trying to figure out if it was the motor. He concluded it was and hopefully they will be sending us a new motor free of charge!

That is so frustrating! Hopefully, you'll be running on it real soon.

You know, it could be your couch sabotaging your treadmills. ;)
Dang guys, that sucks. It's cool you got a brand new one, but totally stinks it broke too. What the heck! I hope it works out & you get it working soon!

Our treadmill did the same thing. Went to a full incline and then the motor kept going and it sounded like it would break. Well we found out that if you leave it on for a few minutes and even though it sounds like it will break it is really just resetting itself and will go back down. Maybe this isn't the problem with yours but I thought I would share and maybe help you out.

That's way frustrating, but I'm jealous you have a treadmill, especially a new one! How exciting! Enjoy!
