Found some informations on the repair of NordicTrack treadmills. I thought I'd start a thread to discuss what seems to be the steps require to remove the motor hood.
According to the available information, to remove the motor hood, all that is required is to remove the screw that attach the hood to the treadmill and gently lift it off the treadmill. There is no mention in any of the available information about having to perform any other step to remove the motor hood. Once you remove the hood, there is access to the drive motor, motor belt, incline motor, the electrical board, and the power button connectors. Thus, it would seem that this is the step that must be performed as part of any troubleshooting for the treadmill as most of the potential failing component are in this hood.
Curious to know if anyone else has encountered any specific detail about removing the motor hood though. For example, are all of the screws the same length? I know from other treadmills that they are not all the same length so I wanted to know if anyone else is aware of that fact prior to attempting to remove the motor hood.
