I have a NordicTrack Treadmill, why does it turn off on me when I put it on higher speeds??

Question

It was working fine, until one day I noticed when I put it on higher speeds, around 7 and above, it turns off on me. I have to reset it to turn it back on. Could this be a voltage issue, like electrical problem ??? Or is it the motor?? Thanks-

Things to try??

Things to check??

Help appreciated.

Answer 1

The motor is overheating and turning is self off on a thermal overload. Check ans see if there is a ton of lint or whatever in or on it stopping the air cooling.
