The ProForm PERFORMANCE 400 treadmill may start but not stay running due to several possible reasons:
1. Safety Key Issue – If the safety key is not properly inserted or gets disconnected, the treadmill will stop. 2. Motor or Belt Problem – A faulty motor, loose drive belt, or worn-out walking belt can cause the treadmill to stop. 3. Overheating or Overload – If the treadmill overheats or detects excessive load, it may shut off as a safety measure. 4. Power Supply Issue – Inconsistent power supply, a loose power cord, or a tripped circuit breaker can interrupt operation. 5. Console or Sensor Malfunction – If the console is not detecting movement correctly, it may stop the treadmill.
To diagnose the issue, check the safety key, ensure the belt is properly aligned, confirm the power source is stable, and inspect the motor for overheating.

The document does not provide specific reasons for the motor of a ProForm PERFORMANCE 400 running loudly. However, loud motor noise in treadmills is commonly caused by worn motor bearings, a loose or damaged drive belt, or buildup of dust and debris inside the motor area. Regular maintenance and inspection may help identify and resolve such issues.
