One of two possibilities
one unplug treadmill ,open up the hood and make sure the main power plug on the motor control box is inserted properly then power up treadmill and see if problem is solved
two , the motor control board (mcb) is burned up, the most common cause of this is lack of waxing causing too much friction between the belt and deck board . if you have an auto waxer they clog up if not cleaned at least once a month
if this is the issue a resistor on the mcb usually is burnt
you can check this by removing the mcb out of the steel box , you can usually see the damage and/or smell the burnt electrical odor
if this is the case you need to get the mcb repaired contact glide fitness product in santa ana california 1 866 637 4600 to get all details and options, they have repaired many for me . be sure if you do this that you remove the wax board and small electrical unit on the outside of the box and put them in a safe place as you will have to put them back on the new box the cost is $200 which is a deal considering a new one is $1000 note that glide has a non clogging wax available to resolve this friction issue
good luck
