Our Leisure works treadmill has error machine?

Hi there,
Our treadmill was working fine, then the kids took it up to top speed 18Klms and was running then it stopped, and now the display has error and it wont start or do anything else,
Any ideas what this could be?
Thanks

Hi, Just read about your fix, where did you manage to get the circuit board, I have exactly the same issue.

Had a similar problem with an "ERR" displayed. (error message without a code attached i.e. ERR2 or ERR5... just plain "ERR")

Turns out after several phone calls and trips to where I bought it, (I'll never suggest these guys for business ever! But I digress) The main internal circuit board's capacitor (part of the board) was not up to snuff and the whole circuit board had to be replaced with one that had a larger service capacitor (its a big cylindrical black-like tube structure wired to the board). The technician that installed it told me that when it comes to treadmills, it's all in the electronics... pay for a better unit that has better circuit boards with capacitors that can handle the stress loads.
