I'm confused because I thought the motor would still run even though the belt is broken. Is this right? Is there some kind of sensor that stops the motor when the belt is broken? When I hit the start button I heard a click near the motor. When I hit the stop button I hear another click. The motor doesn't spin and I don't hear any other sounds.
