Treadmill belt would pause with every stride I made. I found that the front pulley and roller had separated. Instead of paying $120+ for a new front roller and waiting several days of shipping, I fixed it with $1.50 box of screws.

    Finally, somebody that really knows what has been going on with my treadmill !! I have a Sportcraft TX 400 (bought from Walmart 7-2003) treadmill!!! ❤️ I've been trying to figure this out for YEARS!!!! Thank you so much for your video!!

    I have the same Nordictrack 1500! Same problem. I’ve been searching the web for weeks until I saw your video. Thanks so much for doing this. I’m going to give it a try. Those of you asking what size screw he used, he flashed them quickly on the screen: 8 X 5/8 self tapping Lag Screws

    Great idea....my Sportstech F10 has the same problem....it seems loads of Treadmills do the same plastic pully on a metal bar...designed to fail. And you buy a new front roller or Treadmill!! Not this time!! 😃👍👏👏👏

    OMG, you are my life saver. I've been searching all over for this fix and you nailed it. the yellow ring was lose and spinning.. you should rename this video or add Nordictrack 1500 so that others can find it easily.

    I have had this same problem with my True treadmill. It is old enough that they no longer manufacture it or any replacement parts. Have been looking online for a fix and happened upon your vid, very happy I did!! Good explanation of the underlying problem and a creative fix to boot. I'll see what I can come up with on mine as the part looks a bit different. Thank you for taking the time to post your vid!!!!!!!

  • @renacido65
    Your video is helpful! I believe I have the same problem, and like you I looked at the price of a new front roller for about $150, and said no way! I thought about doing the same thing you did. It's a "honey do" that I put off bc I didn't think it would work, but seeing you do it has me thinking, why not? Cheers, bro!

    Great Fix .... good idea !!! I am just fixing mine, so I am looking for " KNOW HOW " !!
  • @TomRothwell
    Had same problem replaced every damn part and the front roller pulley was the last part. Thnx for sharing
  • @bds219
    Great fix. What size screws?
  • @kimchee94112
    I have an erratic walking belt. Both walking and motor belts are tight as well as no slipping between the drive pulley and the drive roller like this video. So what is wrong? Well seems like I've used a bit much silicone treadmill lubricant and somehow migrated between the belt and drive pulley which was the cause of the slippage. Yeah need to verify before start drilling. Going to clean the belt and pulley or replace the belt.

    I did the same repair on a nordictrack elite 7500 but instead I removed the roller and separated the two applied some jb weld put in back together and worked just fine.
  • @jaychow1
    I have the same treadmill I need to replace the belt. I can’t figure it out how to take the front roller out to replace the belt. Can you do one video and explain how to take out the front roller? Kindly please
  • @007HPeter

    The speed and tilt buttons do not work, although everything in the menu works. Where to look for a problem?
