As winter is here this previous post is very relevant as mice are looking for warm places to hide.
​Sometimes it is amazing what you find when you go on a service call for a non-working treadmill. Recently I went on a service call for a very high end treadmill that was giving the customer an error code that usually indicates the speed sensor is not working. When I opened up the treadmill I saw what I thought was dust and string between the motor and speed sensor. I went to remove the debris and much to my surprise it was the back end of a mouse and it's tail sticking out of a hole in the motor. I am not going to go into the gross details of removing this freshly dead mouse, but I also found another dried up mouse inside the motor. Even though the motor was damaged and the motor was no longer available from the manufacturer I was able to find a solution and fix the treadmill. We have a very satisfied customer! This was a very clean house, so this could happen to anyone.
