VerifiedHi my name is ***** ***** I will be happy to help you with your question
A treadmill will shut down/slow down/speed up from friction which is due to high motor current because the walkbelt and deck are not properly lubricated. Take an amperage reading from the motor and if it is above 10-12 amps steadily I would recommend lubricating the deck, with treadmill lube, first and retest if it still cuts out replace the walking deck and controller because the deck is worn out and it has weakened the controller beyond repair. Apply .5 oz of lubricant on the deck every 3-6 months or 100 hours of use. This will extend your treadmill's life many years.You can purchase lubricant for the treadmill at www.fitness repairparts.com
