What You Should Know About Treadmill Motor Repair
By Tim Gorman
First of all, when buying your treadmill, always purchase any and all available manufacturer warranties. Sure, you may be trying to save money, but many treadmill models offer extended warranties for five years, ten years, or even lifetime warranties on all parts. Take advantage of them! Treadmill motor repair can be expensive, so by opting out of the warranty you are not really saving any money.
But if you have not purchased the manufacturer warranty, or if your warranty is up, then there are solutions to the problem of expensive treadmill motor repair. Start by calling the manufacturer. Even if your warranty is up, manufacturers often offer motor and parts exchange programs, whereby you send in your broken motor for a replacement motor at a discount (usually, a rebuild, but good as new).
Secondly, if your warranty is not up yet, then DO NOT attempt to open the machine to diagnose or repair the problem on your own. Even if you are electronically inclined, this type of action usually voids the warranty and thus no future repairs or parts replacements will be covered.
New technology is offering treadmill replacement parts that are inexpensive and compatible with most treadmill models. Another option is to check the local newspaper for people selling unwanted treadmills at rock-bottom prices. You may be able to get a treadmill with parts compatible to yours for less than the cost of the motor itself, and then you will have a back-up part for future problems.
With a little research and some common sense, you should be able to get the best deal and have your treadmill back up and running in no time.
