How To Fix A Squeaking Treadmill
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лип 2014
- My treadmill was squeaking and creaking annoyingly with each step. Sort of a chirp noise. I show how to lubricate a treadmill to get rid of the squeak. This treadmill is a Sole F85. Your treadmill may be different, but the concepts are the same. It's not a difficult repair.

Dude, I won't say you are a genius, but you have free beer anytime in Ozark, MO. Just look me up, my treadmill was driving me crazy, but when I watched the first part of your video it sounded EXACTLY the same as mine. Took 10 minutes and lubricated every joint on mine and it runs QUIET. THANK YOU!
Thanks so much My treadmill was doing the same noise as you show at the beginning of your video I was sure that I had to replace the base board... never thought I just had to lubricate the metal joints!So easy and effective !!!
You saved me a TON of time and Money!! Thank you and Bless you!
Bro thank you so much the first part of the video was all I needed it was a magnet stuck to the bottom of the treadmill so thank you I will start watching more of your vids just to support you
Have a proform that was squeaking for ages. Running like its brand new now. Feel like an engineer now lol. Thanks for uploading
Hey, thanks for the video! I've got the same treadmill and have been living with the squeaking for years!
Thank you ! I didn't know what was wrong with my treadmill , this video really helped.thought I would have to take it apart.Saved me a headache
Thank you so so much. It really helps me to fix sole treadmill disturbing noise. It was new when it starts that sound. You are the man. Best!
Cheers RJ you've given me the confidence to service my York treadmill. Wagsta (UK)
Hey thank you very much for your video. I just restarted to train recently and my treadmill was squeaking like a pig plus a huge noise. Did what you showed plus tightened some screws and everything is back to normal. Once again, thank you!
Thanks a lot! the noise was driving me crazy, it is not the same treadmill but you gave me an idea of what to look for
You are awesome! This worked. No more squeak. Thank you.
My new Norditrack sounded like a rusty bedframe when on it but your video saved me. All quiet on the western front..thank you
Thank you! Bought a new treadmill and it started squeaking after a couple runs. I was loosing it. Thanks for doing this very simple video.
Great stuff.. and here am I looking for spring points, thx for the tips :)
Thank you for this helpful video. My treadmill has been making so much noise but had no idea how to properly open it. Thank you.
You are a damn lifesaver! Thank you my Sole f80 is only 18 months old and developed an AWEFUL squeak. I shot that part with white lithium and its gone.
Interestingly, my F80 started squeaking right after I lubricated the track/belt with approved silicone-based lubricant. In addition to that, it's a bit squeaky when it is folded up and down. The previous owner ran some grease on the square arm of the folding work. Perhaps it was squeaking before and that was a repair attempt. I'll report back on whether it fixed my squeak, but I have a good feeling about it. Handy video. Thanks for producing and posting. Cheers.
Wow, RJ informative vid. This will def be of help to my Horizon T-90 squeaker. Thanks,
Pretty near took my runner apart and then found this video and a quick lub spray and Problem fixed. Was the pivot bolt for incline ,thanks for the video!
You are a genius. I thought the horrible noise my NordicTrack was making meant it was dying. You saved me from having to buy a new treadmill. Thank you!! (Now, if you could stop by and show me where these two extra screws might go, that would be awesome. ;) )
shoesandsoul P.S. It's no longer squeaking.
This was so helpful. Sole really needs to add better maintenance instructions! Thank you!
I have the same treadmill which recently started creaking. I just purchased the same lubricants you used in your video. Great video! I am going to use it to lubricate my treadmill when my order gets in from Amazon. Thank you for posting!
Thank you. Very helpful.
Thank you! Worked great!
Thanks for the video. The incline motor nut was way loose. Followed your steps and noise is gone. Thanks!
Awsm video mate, same noise, same Sole F85 so I've like hit a jackpot. Only for so long during the COVID lockdown, I used Christmas-tree earplugs while running on it 😀😀
Great video, Thanks
This worked :) Thank you, the sound was super annoying but has completely gone. The only problem now is I have no more excuses not to start the new year resolutions.
Lol
I think you need some kind of oil to fix it..
Just bought a Reebok one gt60 it smooth but when you run it like a mouse I hate it only had it 6 weeks getting worse it’s not the belt
Thank you very much - Big help
great video...thanks!
Great video...Thanks
Thanks to your video I was able to stop the squeaking on my treadmill even though this video is over 7 years old
wow, all this time I thought it was the belt ramp. Nice video!
thank you!
Thank you!!
Thank you very much.
Thank you. need to try it out
This worked for me THANK YOU SO FRICKIN MUCH
Thk u so so much, that sound make my crazy.
Thanks! I have about 1,000 miles on my sole treadmill and I finally decided to lookup how to fix the noise. It worked perfectly!
THANK YOU !!!!
Thanks !!
Thank you !!!!!!!
Going to try this today! the noise is the same noise mine is having. Wish me luck!
It's finally quiet! Thank you for advice.
silence is golden
Thank you for making this video RJ. I purchased a used nautilus t614 to save some money. It came squeaking exactly like that. Same design on the bottom. Sprayed lube in similar spots, and wallah! Presto! Squeak has been sent to the 9 hells where it belongs. Thank you, again.
awesome thankssss ..i fix my treadmil now haappy
Thank you so much! I never would have figured this out without you!
Excellent treadmill videos, very informative.
Thanks
Nice I will have to try these steps tomorrow. My Sole F63 has a loud creak when the track is raising and lowering. Also when running on, mine is brand new so I’m not very happy.
They are good treadmills.
Hey RJ I just purchased a f65 and so far I love it. I'm looking for a mat to put it on and can't really decide. Which one do you use for yours.
My deck is 20x 60 so it's a little longer than most I have seen mats for.
Also I love you videos. Makes me feel better about owning a sole. If I ever have to make adjustments or repairs I feel better knowing that you have these videos to answer any questions I may have.
Keep it up !!

DjAluzion Just a treadmill mat I bought at the sporting goods store. Sole makes good treadmills.
Def going to have to try this, hopefully fixes it, just worked up last 3 weeks to strengthen up ankles and knees and feel good enough to start running, and it squeaks so annoying for me, and also I'm on a second story apartment with thin walls and will def get a call from landlord once i get running an hour straight with that squeak.
I recently had a creaking sound near the back of my F85. Called sole and they said the deck needed to be tightened. Took the silver side rails off, and tightened the 4 bolts holding the deck down underneath. Problem solved 👍🏻
Hello, I am looking for a treadmill that has a nice cushioned deck. How does the deck feel when running on the Sole F85? Is it hard on the knees?
I love it. But I am not a heel striker.
RJ The Bike Guy Thank you for your response. I realized just a few weeks ago that I am a heel striker!! Need to correct it. But will it be a problem for heel strikers if the deck does not have enough cushioning? Please let me know.
Neighbors thought I was screwing Bender, but...
LOL
What if its the belt motor self that makes the creak sound
Hi my t/mil not running proper when I turn on speed going fast slow fast slow what can I do
This clip is very educated and well informs. Thank for sharing us.
What type of lubricant is this? I can't find it in the UK so I need something similar..
I have no idea what is available there.
+RJ The Bike Guy thank you for the reply! I've just got some spray call 3 in 1 and sprayed the joints being careful not to spray anything inside the motorhood and it's sounds like new again!!
Thank you for the excellent video!
Here you go. I hope you can order from Amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0153WN84E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thank you Joe but I'm in the UK :)

Thank you for making this thorough video.
Would WD-40 be an appropriate lubricant for this?
WD-40 a lousy lubricant.
RJ The Bike Guy thank you!
Good vid...but maybe you should have done a follow-up on how to CLEAN your treadmill!!!
From a squeaking treadmill to nothing. Well now how to fix the squeaking me :-)
Thank you!
Lubed the under and the sides and sounds gone thanks!
That worked for me. Sprayed some lubricant on the metal parts and it went away.
I just found a approx 1.5 x 2.5" piece of metal on the roller of my treadmill. It was making a terrible noise and there was a rectangular "hole" ripped through the walking belt/deck. I can't tell if the metal is from the TM or not. No mounting marks...really weird...just a free-floating piece of metal that all of the sudden appeared.
+Wildlife Games Ouch!
how would this work for a pro form treadmill?
+random10012 The same principles will work on pretty much any treadmill.
+RJ The Bike Guy thanks man i appreciate it :D
aquicking on mine comes from the schock absorbers which seem to be glued to the panel. I doubt there can be done anything about it
Mine too. Do you still have the problem?
@@mikaelforslund8896 yes I do. yesterday I discovered by accident that if only one side is elevated, it's reduces the squicking noise to a reasonable level. mine is placed on the parquet, but if the front left wheel and back left wheel are placed underneath the carpet, it gets better. try something like that.. or similar
@@ziwkovic6141 Shock absorbers are not glued to the panel. I had same problem and there are fixing screws through the middle of shock absorbers, which are probably not tight. You have to remove the side mask of the panel and tighten the screws.
mines started brand new
There goes that duck again
Will WD-40 work for this?
WD-40 is a lousy lubricant.
Wow... 3K miles!! I got my stupid ProForm expensive treadmill and started squeaking after 7 walks... SMH
Tryed this but still it is sweaks
Then you probably didn't find all the squeaks and lube them.
@@RJTheBikeGuy any idea where can i find them?
@@accountwithnoname3520 Start hunting. Go through every moving part. Did you watch the video?
@@RJTheBikeGuy yes i did i also remove all the bolts lubricate it but still that horrible sound is there
@@accountwithnoname3520 I have not worked on your treadmill. I can't find your squeak for you. Find it yourself, or hire a treadmill tech to fix it.
would wd-40 work?
or where can i buy those things you used?
WD-40 is a lousy lubricant. Go to the hardware store.
what's a good hardware store in the U.S.? if you don't mind telling me.
Stop wasting his time with stupid troll questions. Unbelievably disrespectful.
WD-40 is NOT a lubricant. You use that, for instance, to remove rusty or tight screws. You need a Silicone Lubricant.
I would not spray any thing under the hood make sure you wrench ever bolt so its tight first. If you want to lube the bolt that holds the eveation motor use a high intensity grease. After 3000 miles the deck system gets loose as a goose MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS tighten.
The places I lubed are pivot points. They are supposed to move. So they need lubed.
please help, I'm on winter vacation and I wanna lose some pounds before school starts ;_;
Hi There, Please can you help? My treadmill is making a very strange noise. It sounds a little like something rubbing against a plastic comb. I have checked so many different UA-cam videos for solving noise from a treadmill, but none have been relevant. My treadmill is not squeaking or banging or anything that comes up in the vast majority of the videos I have watched, the most similar noise I can find is this video.... ua-cam.com/video/r3eKa7KDc1M/v-deo.html ....this is the closest I can find to the noise I have, but this video does not show how to fix it. My machine is a very old Horizon machine and the noise is only made when it is being stepped on over 2.5mph. The noise comes with every step made. After taking the cover off it, it very much sounds like it is coming from the left of the motor just where it attaches to the belt. We lubricated moving parts cleaned out the dust and bits and spend AGES with our ears close to the motor to figure out where the noise is coming from. It is so loud I can hear it over my earphones when I'm trying to listen to music.
Deck is lose
I sell this stuff all day long I would of never lube them. That's way there a black plastic washer in the middle after that many miles they all sound like that because its a folding treadmill. JUST MAKE THEM TIGHT xt 600 xt200 XT185 XT475 SOLE F85 THEY ALL DO IT.
Thanks
