![]() ![]() I am starting to suspect that it could be the control board, but I am not sure of the normal operating temps of the board and its components when loaded. The item is out of warranty for all but the frame and motor. I am not sure what the issues could be and the local company wants $149 just to come and diagnose the issue. Unloaded it's around 1.5-2.4 or so and loaded maxed at 7 (generally between 5 and 7 amps).After 20 minutes of unloaded use, the control board and motor were at or slightly above room temp (78-80 degrees).After 25 minutes of loaded use the control board was 120+ degree, capacitors were 150 degrees, and the motor was 136 degrees. I only used it 30 mins a day, max, between October 2020 and March 2021 and again the same months in 2021-2022.So here's where I am at.I installed the new motor - same issues remain.I checked the amp draw. Note: I only lubed the belt when I bought it and not since until now. The belt is also in good shape with no smoothness or discoloration on either side. ![]() I also inspected the deck and it's in great shape. I only tightened the belt about 1/4 beyond what was needed to stop the slipping and can lift it up about 3 inches on each side at the center of the board. I notice that the rear bolts aren't adjusted to the same amount in order to tighten the belt. I tried cleaning and lubricating the deck and adjusting the tension (I did adjust the top bolt not knowing I shouldn't). Now that it's cold again I am back on the treadmill and the smell got worse. I didn't install it and continued using my treadmill for the next 2-3 months until summer came and I no longer used it. I called Horizon in Jan 2021 and they sent me a new motor. ![]() Last year I noticed that the motor would get hot after 30-45 minutes of use and smell. Horizon T202-4 motor hot and burning smell I have a two year old Horizon T202-4 treadmill. ![]()
