I have an Landice L7 treadmill that is give me a L5 error code.
Anyone have any idea what this error code means? The machine does not work now. Not many hours on it but it is out of warrenty so it looks like I might have to swallow the repairs.
Hopefully not too much money anyway
Thanks for any suggestions that you might be able to give me.

Hello

This just happened to me today.. did you ever find out what this means?
Mine stopped twice today close the the end of my jog. The 2nd time it
wouldn't start, unplugged it, pressed the start button, and plugged it
again. it then started again. I've had weird slow downs once or twice
b4.. I think I may need to call it in, afraid I may ruin it if I
don't...

thanks

Were you able to get this fixed? This just happened to my Landice L7 treadmill - was wondering what it took to get it fixed, how much repairs cost.

L5 or LS is short for Low Speed error. It basically means that the
speed sensor is not picking up a signal. Unfortunatley its a pretty
vague error code and can be caused by several different problems.
First you have to determine wether or not you have belt movement. If
you have a LS with belt movement you know that it is related to the
speed sensor itself (or the MCB motor control board - the part of the
MCB that handles speed sensing function). If you are getting an LS w/o
belt movement you have to check to see if you have power output from
the MCB. If you have no power output, check fuses, if fuses are good
you will need the MCB replaced. If you have suffcient output its
drive motor related. Aside from a problem with the drive motor, it is
possible that another factor is stopping the motor from turning (ie:
locked up roller bearing, foreign debris, etc.). If it is a case of
faulty electronics the next question is, is to figure out what caused
it to fail. Most MCBs don't fail on their own, something usually
causing them to fail. The bottom line: The LS error can be
complicated and should really be inspected by a professional to fully
assess the issue. Cost to repair can vary greatly depending on what
exactly is wrong with it. Also keep in mind, if the unit is covered
under warranty, tampering with it most likely will void it.
