My Aurora 440 developed a loud humming noise and is driving me crazy. The repair shop is a long distance away so I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how do you stop it?

I was downloading an embroidery pattern and noticed my sewing machine wasn't on so I turned it on and this loud humming noise came out of it. Help!

Gayle, I had that happen to me and after I called the store they pointed out that I had somehow engaged my bobbin winder . You might check that.

Karolwak, thank you, thank you, thank you! That was it! I don't know how that happened but I flicked the lever and the noise stopped. Wow, so simple! So grateful for you and this site of helpful quilters/sewers.

LOL. It always amazes me the answers that are out here on our board. Good job. Glad you found out the problem.

Yep, I'm always flipping that little bobbin winder and wondering why it's making all that noise! :lol: :lol:

Hahahah, that's hilarious :D I would do something like that... heheh, I'm glad it got sorted out

I had that happen to me and it was that I had the bobbin winder engaged..

This board is the most amazing helpful place to be. It seems like no matter what, someone has seen it, done it, or been there! Everyone just jumps in & helps!! If only quilters could solve the rest of the problems, the oil spill, bad economy, hate among fellow man no matter where you live.....

Don't worry, we have all done the same thing!

glad you got it figured out
