PfaFF Tiptronic 2040 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

lower your needle. If up to high can't catch the bobbin thread.

Be sure to use a brand new needle because a bent needle could miss the bobbin thread.Search the internet for sites and videos relating to sewing machine timing or take it for service.

Wow, you've done all the things I would have tried. Sry.

Try cleaning out the bobbin case area. Lint build up will affect the bobbin thread sensor

You can go here: http://www.manualslib.com/manual/504963/Pfaff-Tiptronic-2040.html and download the manual. It should tell you what to do.

I would check for thread wrapped around the bobbin holder again. If it is a recurring problem, then there is another problem causing it. Take it back to your servicer and ask them to look deeper for the real issue.

It may be a tension or a threading problem. There are videos on youtube that may help. Change wording on youtube search to find issues that match your problems. Follow link. sewing machine problems YouTube

This is telling you that there is a problem with the motor.

Nothing to do with power...just happenstance to be at the same time, probable fault in button sensor

You will need a transformer. If the appliance is 220V to start with, you need a step-up tranformer, that is, 110V supply UP to 220V output. The other way round, a step-down transformer. They are sold at hardware outlets and electronics suppliers like RadioShack.

There is a little lever or button used to disengauge it.

it's possible that the motherboard needs to be checked at a sewing machine repair shop

try this link for a manual that should show about the thread tensionhttp://www.sewingpartsonline.com/instruction-manual-2040.aspx

as long as the extension cord is plugged into the outlet correctlythere should be no problem, it sounds like some part of the electronics is messing up

I'm including links to a video from youtube and also for a manual http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At4yC0h_y8shttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D57fscSZORohttp://www.sewingpartsonline.com/instruction-manual-pfaff-2040-download.aspxhttp://www.sewingpartsonline.com/instruction-manual-pfaff-2030-and-2040.aspx

Sounds like the switch on the front panel is bad. Dealer service for a new front panel is needed.

It sounds like you need to adjust the bobbin tension. There is a small screw on the bobbin case to tighten/loosen the thread's tension coming out of the case. Refer to the user manual on the procedure to set it.

yes, it is possible that the foot pedal can go out,, it would be a goodidea to have the foot pedal checked at a repair shop to see for sure

it's possible that the machine is out of time,,but the machine needs to be serviced
