Treadmill Incline Won’t Move

Answer: If the lift motor only clicks, the board’s H-bridge is cooked. UpFix installs new drivers, verifies full 15° travel, and backs the work with a warranty.

Quick take: If you hear a click but the deck never lifts, the incline H‑bridge on the control board is fried.

DIY triage

  1. Disconnect the incline motor lead; use a 12 V battery to test it both directions.

  2. If the motor runs off‑board, the MCB is at fault.

UpFix fix

  • Replace both high‑side and low‑side drivers

  • Add fly‑back diodes rated for 10 A

  • Cycle test full +15° to –3° slope 50 times

Keep it healthy

Avoid stepping on the deck while it’s rising, extra load jacks current and cooks drivers.
