Let's face facts, if
you use your treadmill on a consistent basis (like
you're supposed to), eventually parts will break.
The first thing to usually go on a treadmill is the
belt. So, how do you go about replacing broken or
worn parts?The first thing to do when a
treadmill part breaks, is check to see if it is still
covered under the warranty that came with the treadmill.
Although every company is different, many treadmill
parts are covered for 1-5 years.
If your treadmill is not under warranty, do an online
check for your part. There are a host of online
stores that can send you a replacement part quickly and
at a very good price. Just be sure to double-check
the part number either in your owner's manual or online.
(There are literally hundreds if not thousands of
different treadmills out there)
The best way to avoid having to buy replacement
treadmill parts is by purchasing a quality treadmill
with a good warranty to begin with. (Be sure to

currently available). Remember to also follow
regular maintenance to prevent unnecessary wear and
tear.
