    Did you try kicking it?
    :smile:
    I'd unplug it, or try to find a reset button... sorry I'm not helpful. What kind is it?

    Check the fuse in the plug, check the plug hasn't vibrated out of the socket....... kick it?!

    Try Googling the manufacturer and model. You will probably find lots of info that way. Mine has crapped out on me too, but that's ok. I've had it several years and now live in a community with beautiful trails to run on.

    I kicked it and swore at it. Told it how bad it was. Unplugged, re-plugged. At least I had already done some exercise already.

    It depends on the model. My Proform needed to be replaced. The parts to fix it would have cost over $300 but it was 7 years old, so I ended up buying a new one when they came on sale.

    But if it's a MALE treadmill, that doesn't do any good...

    I have mine plugged into a surge protector but something similar happened to me and there was a "Master Reset" button I had to push. Mine is the Proform Cross trainer.

    The first obvious question is: did you pop a circuit breaker on your electrical panel?

    Check your circuit breaker. This happens to me about once a month. Fingers crossed that's all it is!

    Mine has a fuse/breaker type of thing built in.

    If you really killed yours, then hats off to you. I tried my best to kill my old treadmill by punching, kicking, and stomping and the damn thing just wouldn't die. So I sold it on craigslist.
