EASY DO-IT-YOURSELF-REPAIRS

Sooner or later your Weslo Cadence Treadmill C44 will need repair. You’ll want to be able to fix it quickly and without having to spend a lot of money. I’m going to help you diagnose, solve and repair your treadmill problems with some simple do-it-yourself tips.

Depending on what the problem is, there are some things you can do yourself to fix your treadmill problem.

Your Treadmill is as Good as its Warranty

Almost all treadmills, after the expiration of the warranty period require replacement and repair so that it keeps functioning well. That’s why your treadmill is only as good as its warranty.

Hopefully you’ve kept your manufacturer’s guide – as the Weslo Cadence Treadmill C44 warranty has a short life span. But that’s what you get when you buy a cheapo treadmill. You shouldn’t worry though – just yet. I’m going to give you some do-it-yourself tips for fixing your jalopy of a treadmill.

The top 3 common problems treadmill owners experience are with the:

1. Motor
2. Deck
3. Belt

Motor – The Most Important Part of a Treadmill

The most important parts of your treadmill are the motor, the belt, and the deck. Since the motor is the be all and end all of your Weslo Cadence Treadmill C44, you should start repairing your treadmill with its most important part – the motor.

In order for your motor to run smoothly, you have to keep it dust- free on a consistent basis. Use a vacuum cleaner to get the dust out once a week.

With a Landice treadmill, you will never have this problem as it has a lifetime warranty and the motor is a 4 hp – which means it has continuous power – unlike the Weslo which only has 2.

Watch this video on the importance of motors and you will understand why you may have to trade in your Weslo Cadence Treadmill C44 for a Landice. Landice Video

Tell Tale Signs of Trouble in Treadmill Paradise

Do you have an awful burning smell coming from your treadmill? A burning smell means there is something wrong with your motor. Some type of friction is occurring.

The first thing to do is UNPLUG the treadmill and DO NOT turn it on again. Open the deck. Usually, if you open the deck and readjust the belt, that will fix the problem.

If that doesn’t work, you have 2 options: 1) Replace the motor or 2) Upgrade. Replacing the motor yourself is very easy. Make sure you read the manufacturer’s manual and make sure you purchase the correct replacement motor.

Now if your treadmill is a cheapo piece of junk (like the Weslo Cadence Treadmill C44) it may self-destruct by cooking itself to death from the insides. In that case, you’ll have to purchase a totally new one.

But this time, it would be wise to invest in a high-end, high quality treadmill by Landice or Nordictrack. Watch this  Landice video and see why: 

Belt

If your belt becomes worn you may have to replace it depending on how worn it is. The alternative is to constantly apply grease to the chain that supports the belt. Keeping it oiled will increase the lifespan of the treadmill’s chain. Do you really want such a high maintenance treadmill?

Deck

Your deck needs to stay lubricated because the more you use your Weslo Cadence Treadmill C44, the more worn out the deck becomes – as with any treadmill.

Your treadmill belt then starts to lose its centeredness. The belt either gets tracked towards the left or the right. The belt needs to be centered at all times. A screw driver will remedy this problem for you and re-center it. Read your manufacturer’s guide. It provides you with basic troubleshooting procedures. Remember, you get what you pay for. Next time, buy a Landice or a Nordictrack
