Trouble with treadmill and transformer

First I would check the transformer. You need an AC/DC Multimeter. You need to know what to do.

Most multimeters have a diode check function. I would use that. Then, I would check for DC output.

It should be easy to find a suitable transformer, just make sure it's also class 2, which means if something shorts it will fail gracefully rather than catch fire, most these days are.

Take a look here:

"I would really love to fix this as cheaply as posisble. (Baby due any day.) "

AND

"On the transformer it reads: class2 model/pin 15-8385 imput 115 volts output 8vac 1.6 amps"

Maybe it is a good idea to spend the $60. You don't want that baby to growup with only one parent now. I mean chances are you won't kill yourself but why play around with mains voltage and rick it if you haven't had training? And if you end up in hospital, $60 is cheap, if the new transformer shorts and burns down your house, $60 is cheap, if the new transformer kills something else in the treadmill, $60 is cheap.

Remember it is just a treadmill, don't zap yourself just to save walking outside.
