    My Pfaff did very same thing yesterday, I finally just tromped on the foot pedal a couple of times and it started sewing. Might be a short in pedal. Good luck! Costco is pretty good about returning things even after a year.

The red light will not turn off. I still have the instruction book there are NO troubleshotting tips. I took it appart and cleaned it out but it was empty. I am so confused any ideas anyone please.

    I have so many swaps to get done soon, I really need my machine to be able too. :(

    PLEASE I am begging/Crying out loud for HELP! Thanks!
    Sounds like what my Singer just went through. I took it in, and the repair man said that sometimes the belt slips off inside. Is it under warranty? He had to crack the case, fix the belt and put it back together, he had it four days and it's ready for pick up. I don't know if that's the answer, hopefully its something much more simple.

    did you check to see if maybe you broke a piece of the needle off in it , i broke a needle once and the tip of it was jammed down in the machine and it wouldnt budge

    are you plugged in?

    just a thought

    Thanks it's not your fault though. :)
    There has to be a computer reset button somewhere . . . Is the power button that turns it on a toggle type button or a push and spring back type button?

    If toggle, like most, no help there.

    Maybe if you hold the stop start button and count to about ten slowly, it will reset the motherboard memory.

    On my non-Singer: I turn the machine off, hold the stop/start and another button down WHILE turning on the power switch/button.

    Have you tried something like that yet?

    The fact that the needle goes up and down by hand-turn means most of the gears/belts are ok.

    Humm

    Aardie.
    Darn it, did Bill Gates have something to do with the sewing computer board...how many buttons did you say that you have to hold to reset...like Control, Alt, Delete.

    Seriously though, make sure you have the proof of purchase, it you don't then you need to send a copy of serial number, receipt to Singer repair service center (through the 800 number)-hopefully they get the name, address, and everything correct. Take it to (or may have to send to repair center with a copy of your proof of purchase letter-which you need to get from singer).

    Good luck, I know exactly what you mean, devastated. Even though I have others to use, I missed my Singer 7469Q so bad while it's been gone.

    Can you google Sewing machine troubleshooting? There is a website where this really nice man answers questions, if he can't answer you from there, he asks you to call him so he can walk you through the fix. Just a nice man trying to help, but I can't remember the link. I found it on BING.com

    Is it still under guarantee. Maybe you can return it and get them to check it out free. It is worth asking you dealer any way. Maybe the dealer knows a bit about the machine and will look at it for you. I don't have a Singer so that is all I can do for you. Sorry.
