The Treadmill Mat Stops When I Step Sometimes

When a treadmill stops running it s frustrating since it ruins a workout.

The treadmill mat stops when i step sometimes.

If the motor is too hot then the belt will not continue to turn. If you step on the treadmill and its belt stops running but the motor is still running then you should check out the front roller. Several potential issues can cause your treadmill to stop when you step on it. If the roller and the pulley also stops then this is a clear indication that the drive belt is worn out.

Unfortunately dealing with problems facing home exercise machines can be tricky and stressful. If you own a treadmill you understand that even the best exercise equipment sometimes has problems or issues. A treadmill can stop suddenly as a precaution to prevent itself from further possible damage. When you start walking it should go up but not that high 8 9 amps is a little high with a belt that has no friction.

There are cases where a treadmill will slow to a stop when you step on it and the combination of these problems could lead to a diagnosis as to the issue. The amp draw is close enough when not walking on the belt but the test is used at 3 mph drawing 3 amps. Check the weight limit and lubrication and adjust the rollers if needed. Belt slippage will be inevitable if the drive belt between the motor and the front roller is slipping.
