Treadmill Stops Suddenly? Fix it!

Jul 24, 2025

Speed Sensors (aka RPM Sensors) are inexpensive and easy to replace. We think that's why people just buy them on the hopes it solves their issues. We call this "throwing parts at the problem." Before you do this watch this video and maybe develop a strategy first as hope is not a good repair strategy. In this video we talk about how speed sensors can cause speed issues and even an error issue with your treadmill. Knowing how they function can help you to determine if that really is the problem with your machine. If you are in need of a speed sensor we offer them on our website which you can click via the link below. You can also see the speed sensors on our shop attached to this video. We hope all this helps you out!
