Treadmill Motor control board bad?

My NordicTrack treadmill will power up and start fine but after 2 seconds the belt stops moving. The display is on but will not respond when I push the buttons. Once I power off and on it will again start but only runs for two seconds. I have checked the magnetic speed sensor and that is fine. I have also checked all the connections. When I look at the motor control board the red light is on u til the belt moves, then it blinks and goes back to solid red once it stops. Do you think the control board could be bad?

Update (03/12/2021)

The model is a elite 9500.

Might be a failure with the power supply, but what I would do is take a look inside and compare it to images online and see if anything looks different than a regular one. Might be some loose plugs inside, I had this issue once with a different brand, and it was a loose plug inside that caused the problem.

Yes your controller is probably bad. The way to know for sure is to attach a multimeter to the leads on the circuit board which connect to the drive motor (the motor with the drive belt that connects to the front roller). Set the meter to DC volts and should read over 40. It probably won't show any voltage once the treadmill stops. If it shows anything less than 10 volts DC then you have a bad circuit board.

That sounds like a current overload problem.... so test the machine without any load .... if it takes more time to shut down without you on it .... you might have to consider changing (or bypassing) a small switch-like device near your power cable on the machine.

Other chances are that your treadmill is showing an error code without you noticing .... is it showing anything on the screen
