Hi Kelly:I own that treadmill and have not had that experience, but, I can offer a few suggestions. 1)Unplug the device, wait one minute, and plug it back in.If that does not work-try another wall plug to see if there is a voltage problem. You may also call at 801-973-9993. Good luck

Hi Kelly. I have the same treadmill with no problems. I'm guessing the motor is defective. I say this because I use mine every other day for about an hour with out fail. I would recommend you let Amazon and the seller know your issue. They will send someone out to pick up your treadmill and will deliver you a new one. I hope this helps. ~Pete~

I haven't had any problems with it. If Geoffrey G.'s suggestions don't work out, I would call or write LifeSpan. I contacted them for a different issue, and got a quick and helpful reply.

U bought it through Amazon, RETURN IT and get another one. Sounds like it's got a short or a defective motor/ battery. Take advantage of Amazons excellent return policy.

I have no idea what the temperature is. It gets pretty hot and I think that's what happened to mine. I am guessing that it overheated and the motor burnt out??? No other reason for it to have stopped working after a few months and under 10 usages. Maybe someone else actually clocked the temp.

The problem I have is that the treadmill makes a lot of noise, i had a maintain person from proform and it she couldn't help much. I have a problem with ProForms tech's they dont return my calls and they dont answer there phone, now I just live with it. Its been about a year that I stop calling the techs

Mine only makes a quick, not too loud of a noise, right as it turns on... before it starts to grind. It only lasts a fraction of a second. I would be concerned if you have a continuing noise. I would exchange it, rather than worry every time you use it.

Yes-although mine shut off about 18 minutes in to my workout. I called the company and they made several attempts to fix the elliptical but after exhausting all options (this took about 8 months!) they sent me a new one. The new one doesn't shut off in the middle of my workouts.

I just bought it yesterday and this happened after the first time I used it. I can't turn it off unless I plug it in. I was just checking Amazon to see if this was a typical issue. I'll call Wahl today to see if I can get a replacement since I don't know about refunds after using it.

I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best of luck I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best... » Read More I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best of luck « Show Less

That is exactly what is happening to mine. The first several times I used the vacuum it ran perfectly. However after about two months of use, the vacuum would heat up then stop running. I thought it was dead, but after ten to twenty minutes I plugged it back in and surprisingly it worked again. But it will shut off again after heating up. I believe it is a flaw in the design and sadly there was only a 90 day warranty. I really liked the vaccum being small and portable, but I am angry at the company for putting out an inferior product and ripping people off. I wish I could revise the positive feedback I left them!

I have had that happen but not often. I figured it must get "overheated" and it needs a cool down period. It will come back on after a short time. If this is the case--it's really a safety factor.

To me that sounds like there is a glitch. Do you shut down the machine when not in use?

Hi Hazel -- I wonder if you ever resolved this problem. I have been using this treadmill for a few months now and loving it but today it started making a clunking sound when belt running. I found the user manual online but there is no mention of the problem. You call it 'clicking' I call it 'clunking' but I think we could both be having the same problem, so am wondering if you ever resolved this. Any advice you might have would be much appreciated.

I do not have this problem, but there are two tension adjustment rollers to fix your issue. They are at the rear of the unit and require the large hex key that was supplied with the treadmill. You should read the manual to see how to do this adjustment. I hope this helps.

It certainly sound defective to me. Mine would not start after a little over a month, and it sounds like the shut-off mechanism in yours is faulty. I'd send it back right away if it were me.

Sorry if this sounds too basic but if you dont depress the silver button first then the levers wont go up enough to start the machine also check the circuit breaker in your homes panel. If its not either of those, I would return it. Mine runs great!

The same thing happened to me, and I called the manufacturer. I got zero response, so I hope you have better luck. I had only had the machine a few months when it gave up.
