Question: where to get speed control for my weslo cadence DL15?


Question Description:


Answer#1: Are you sure it's the speed control? If the unit "dogs out" as you walk or just plain stops it is more likely the motor.Most Weslo have the speed control in one of 2 places... either integrated into the motor or on a circuit board. Either item will cost more to replace than the whole treadmill.Keep in mind that ANY Weslo has an operating life of about 200 hours (one hour a day, 5 days a week for a year), and should only be used for walking... not running or jogging. Regardless of whether the speed control goes to 10mph or not, they should never exceed 4mph.Having serviced treadmills including Weslo and observing the use and abuse they get, I have always recommended getting a Proform or an Image... more expensive but well worth it. Someone once said: "There is hardly a thing in this world that one man can't make a little cheaper and sell for a little less than someone else. It is the buyer who considers price alone and not quality that is this man's lawful prey."
