How do I determine if the drive motor on Proform Crosswalk 397 needs replacement
When touching the start button, the motor just starts to go for only an instant, then it quits. The red light in the electric circuit flashes 4 times, then goes off for a second or two, then flashes 4 times again. When you touch the stop button the red light stays on

Unplug the motor from the board and plug it in to an 18 volt drill battery to see if it runs. It more than likely will and this means the motor control board is bad. You can get lucky on ebay occasionally and get one in the 50-60 dollar price range but don't go any higher then that amount. These boards are built to fail and to replace them new costs more then the treadmill is worth. Mine had a blown capacitor only and I replaced it with exact same and still no luck. Junked it and wont replace unless I buy it used and dirt cheap. Good luck.
