VerifiedDoes your treadmill have an endcap that goes the whole way across the back of the treadmill or does it have 2 completely seperate endcaps?
Ok, I found a picture of your treadmill. The only thing to check would be to remove the right siderail by removing the plastic insert and then removing the screws. Then the rear roller bolt will be exposed on that side, check to make sure it is not broken. if it is not broken then I would lean towards replacing the walkbelt. Just make sure that none of the bolts that adjust the belt are broken. There are 3 bolts, 2 on the rear roller and 1 on the front roller. If all these are ok then replace the walkbelt. This is also using the assumption that the belt is going to the side and it is not just slipping under your feet. If it is just slipping under your feet then You would need to do the following:
* take nail polish or paint and place a mark starting on the front roller pulley and going onto the front roller metal shaft
* then try to walk on it and see if the white mark separates
* if it does then the roller is bad and would need replaced or tap screws placed through the pulley into the metal shaft to hold it in place
* if it doesn't separate then the drive belt is slipping and most likely will need replaced, although you could try spraying belt dressing on it to see if that would be a temporary fix.
Thanks for the question and I hope this helps determine exactly what is wrong.
