Can a Bad Treadmill Control Board Harm the DC Motor?

Absolutely. Over‑voltage spikes from a dying MCB can fry armature windings and cost you a $300+ motor.

Answer
Yes, over-voltage spikes burn armature windings. UpFix stabilizes output to protect both board and motor, save big versus full replacement.

Signs of impending doom

  • Blue sparking at motor brushes

  • Burning smell near motor vents

UpFix prevention

  • Stabilize output transients with snubber networks

  • Verify ripple < 5 % at full load
