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
buttons eventually i can get the motor to run as it should & go for a run on
it.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 direct
to a multimeter & reading off DC voltage at 3mph. i got 60v, which is well
above the minimum generally acceptable 28v. i checked that the speed sensor
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
next?
thanks

Examine the circuit board for hairline cracks, or brittle/loose soldered
connections from the underside.
