UPRREngr Report post Posted October 7, 2023 I broke a needle on my 26 last night and after I got it replaced and turned machine off and on, when I try to sew it locks up and goes into error 5 mode. Handwheel will not turn ! Any help as to what might be wrong ? TIA Jimmy Pryor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe Report post Posted October 7, 2023 It takes only a small piece of metal in the wrong place to lock up a machine. Are you sure you retrieved all the bits of the broken needle from the hook area? Did something else break besides the needle? If the needle breaking incident was hard enough and at high speed, something may have slipped out of position and is now touching something it shouldn’t. You may have to do a careful investigation of all the parts that could slip. I’d recommend disconnecting the motor (remove the belt) until you get the issue resolved and the machine to turn over smoothly by hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
