Hi XXXXX 540 treadmill has...

Hi XXXXX 540 treadmill has recently starting giving us problems. I will be on the treadmill doing a workout and for no reason the belt has slowed down or suddenly quit. You can turn it back on but it will suddenly stop again.
Is this a result in a motor problem or the curcuit board?
