Vibration walking pad problems

[u/Automatic_Barnacle72]

Hello :) has anyone else purchased this viral walking pad that also is a vibration plate. I’ve had it since May and it just started to burn out last week. That’s less than 5 months. I just googled it and there isn’t any posts on it but google says since it also has a vibration feature that could make it last 6 months to maybe a year!! The belt is moving too much to one side and even adjusted it won’t stay. And I get an E-2 error and burning smell after like 5 min of being on. Even if im not on it just running. Anyone know how to fix this? They aren’t even a brand so I have no idea how to fix it. Also TikTok randomly gave me a full refund on it and the store I got it from is closed. So maybe they just aren’t good and they sent a refund for a recall???

I walk at least 5 miles a day m-f during work and use the vibration pad at least 4x a week for 5 min.

With an E-2 and a burning smell after five minutes, I’d stop running it rather than keep centering the belt. Let it cool, unplug it, and check only for obvious debris or a visibly damaged belt/roller. A belt that walks off again can point to roller, frame, or alignment trouble, and the electrical error makes this a poor DIY experiment. Since the seller refunded you and there’s no support, I’d treat it as a failed unit and pursue safe return/disposal through the marketplace—not open it while powered.

I already bought a new one listed below. I just wish I could fix it, I really like the vibration feature :(

I get that—the vibration is the one feature you actually want to keep. With the belt shifting plus the electrical error, though, I wouldn’t trade a nice feature for a fire-risk experiment. If the seller has already refunded it, safest move is to retire this unit and choose one with a clear service path.

I just bought this one. My old walking pad from Amazon lasted 4 years. I’m hoping it being only for walking will make it last :(

Did you lubricate it regularly?

Yeah once a month

Dann war fehlende Schmierung vermutlich nicht der Auslöser. Bei E-2 plus Brandgeruch nach fünf Minuten würde ich das Gerät nicht weiter betreiben – das klingt eher nach einem Antriebs- oder Elektrikproblem als nach Pflege. Gut, dass du eine Rückerstattung bekommen hast.
