Re: Treadmill motor not working
Well then, how about the brushes, are they still of a usable length, and do they seem to have a decent amout of spring tension pushing them down against the commutator? When you got through cleaning the inside of the motor did you check to see that the brushes moved smoothly in the brush holder?
I went back and reread the thread, I'd forgotten that some 'magic smoke' was in the air at the beginning of the thread, would give a lot to know if it was 'motor smoke' or 'semi-conductor smoke' &-)
