Larry fixing my treadmillSorry, it has been a while. Unfortunately I am not always the most prompt blogger. However, on top of my procrastination, the treadmill had broken so I had little chance to use it. I wanted to see what the out come was before I blogged on it. My treadmill started making a dinging noise after 15 minutes to an half an hour. The problem only got worse as time went on. After a call to Horizon Fitness customer service I discovered that there is a silver disk that is part of a timing mechanism. Evidently it was warped and hitting something.

So, as I was still under warranty they sent out Larry the repairman. First off it was obvious that Larry did not work in a cube. He was quite thin. In fact he was a runner and a retired airplane mechanic. Are all Horizon Fitness repair people this qualified? He was like the poster boy for treadmill repairmen.

To make a long story short he was very nice, competent and he had it fixed and up and running (no pun intended) in no time. He fixed the disk and evidently the sensor wiring was a bit tight pulling it into the rotating disk, so he adjusted that. I have been on it for a week now without a ding being heard. I am happy. So on with my journey…..
