I was using one of the embroidery stitches on cam A when smoke began to come out from the back of the machine. I turned it off immediately though it continued to smoke for quite a few minutes. Is it likely that this machine could be repaired? I think it would still sew now its cooled down, but I don't want to risk making the problem irreparable.
Unplug the machine. move the hand wheel to make sure it's still free and that you can form a stitch ok.
Smoke can come from a belt or from a dry connection... or from wires. If the machine feels ok... bet on electrical. Open access panels on the bottom or side so you can see the motor and electrical stuff. Look, sniff.. etc to suss out where the smoke came from.
I would not plug it in again you figure out the problem

Make sure you have threaded the machine from right to left, it sounds like the needle thread is trapped under the lower looper thread and cannot form a stitch.........start the threading over from scratch like this:
Is there a diagram for how to thread on the inside of the door ?
Follow that slowly and carefully to make sure you have not missed any thread guides on the way, as each one needs to be followed through to ensure correct tension and thread progression.
If you are certain that all threaded correctly, did you have a fabric jam and pulled it loose ? If so, the timing may well be affected.
Post an update and we'll get this right.

The plastic dries out over time, and this is what may have happened. You could probably remove it by exerting a great deal of force, but will most likely break either the cam itself or the part where the cam is inserted. You could try squirting a little lubricant (maybe Tri Flow?) and leaving it for a while to penetrate before trying again to remove the cam. Otherwise, it would be best to take it in to a repair shop where an expert can work on it and maybe replace any parts that are no longer working properly.

Repair manuals are available only to Husqvarna Viking authorized dealers. However, I have seen some on ebay from time to time. Sounds like your problem could be several things - binding of the internal drive shaft which may have a build up of grease and lint which unbinds as you sew, could be a faulty motor, or faulty transformer. Suggest that it be serviced and cleaned by an authorized Husqvarna Viking Dealer. You can find the nearest dealer by click on the "Dealer" link at http://www.husqvarnaviking.com
Good luck.
