Belt is runnig over set speed after replacing the contoller on a NordicTrack T5.7

I recently had the motor controller fail on my treadmill. After calling NordicTrack and describing what was happening with the led I was told that the controller was bad. I replaced the controller and started the treadmill. At a set speed of 4 MPH the belt is going approximately 6-7 mph. I went into the calibration mode and attempted to calibrate the unit. But it would not adjust. I also noticed that in this mode the display would show the desired speed but not an actual speed. I have emailed back and forth with NordicTrack and one person is telling me that my reed switch is out of adjustment. Well I have searched my unit and could not find a reed switch anywhere near the band. I then went on the chat line and now I am being told that my unit does not have a reed switch and it is my console. It seems very strange that a first it was the controller and now the console fails at the same time.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions.?

Thank You

    You do have a reed switch its on the left hand side right near the front roller pulley , its screw onto the frame. Make sure the gap between front roller & speed sensor/reed switch is as close as you can get it.

    Thank you for the response.
    I went and looked n the location that you gave and there is no switch in that location. No wires nothing. I then checked a manual for another version of the T5.7 model # NTL61011.1 and it does have a reed switch. My unit is a NTL61011.4 and it does not have this.

    To calibrate the speed you would need to adjust your max pot down on the new mcb, Make sure your unit is also running in miles not kilo.
