Sole F80 walking belt bogs down

I bought my F80 back in 2010 and started having issues this year with walking belt bogging down and eventually stopping with an LS1 low speed error. After getting the motor and control board replaced, still no improvement. I'm now suspecting it's either the walking belt needs replacing and/or the running deck. I'm not sure what the underside of the walking belt should feel like when it needs replacing. Should the underside of the walking belt have a smooth coating and feel smooth to the touch? If I feel the walking deck, i do feel some grooves in the center of the board. Oh also, the belt does not bog down if i walk on the outside edges of the belt, but as soon as I walk in the middle of the belt, it will stop. At this point I just don't know if the walking belt or running deck or both need replacing. Looking for some advice on how to troubleshoot which one is bad.

Thanks

    Sounds like you will need to replace both, and you should lube the deck every 6 months at least.
