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.
