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