Precor Error Code 27, 28, 29 Overview Drive Motor Current Overloading Overview

Mar 03, 2022

Applies to Treadmills

Overview

• Characteristics of treadmill overloading are:
• Most frequent cause of treadmill shutting down.
• Overloading is most often caused by excess deck/belt friction but can be made worse by line voltage conditions.
• Happens more often with heavier runners, but never walkers.
• In high-use clubs (10 hours or more of use per day), the decks/belts will wear out much faster than at other locations; sometimes in months rather than years.
• Often accompanied by an error code:
  • Error 27 (motor current too high), see error 27.
  • Error 28 (average input current too high, or motor controller overheated), see error 28.
  • Error 29 (instantaneous input current too high), see 29.
