There are no threads to be seen anywhere>>>> ??? means posts? or screw threads on shafts.?
if the electric motor does not turn by hand that means it is siezed
and that means it is bad and means replaced.
a sewing machine posted to Cars, no wrong is that?LOL
we can not see what your hand turn, right or wrong.
no way blind.
the motor must spin, if the machine is jammed it needs service
or just a lube job. per the manual read that yet?
Fabric jamming in your machine may be caused by the feed dogs. The feed dogs are those tiny teeth along the sewing machine underneath the presser foot as those teeth pull the fabric through when the needle is making stitches. Lint or debris in the feed dog area can jam the mechanisms preventing them to move.
This may sound traumatic, but there is no easy way to pin point where the tie-up is located. So proceed as follows.
Cut all the threads as they come off the antennas.
Open the front cover and pull-out all the threads by pulling them straight toward the back. If they do not come easily, try moving the hand wheel back and forth by a 1/4 revolution .. this is like a rocking motion. If still not budging, start cutting back the threads and removing them in sections until all the threads are cleared. If this step is still challenging; check that there is no residual fabric or threads still wrapped around the loopers or other part/s of the serger. If so cut them out bit by bit until everything below is cleared.
Great. Now check for threads wrapped and/or jammed anywhere above.
Since the overlocker jammed, it is possible that the needles were bent. This will continue to cause issues in stitch formation. So just to make sure; change the needle/s. Make sure that the correct needle type is being used. Every overlocker is engineered to be used with a specific needle type. The needle type will be specified in the manual and will also appear on the needle package. If the needle types are not the same, do not use those needles.
Re-thread the overlocker and stitch test on a piece of fabric before pressing down on the foot control.
This should get the overlocker back on track and you back to overlocking.
Not threaded properly or lint jam in the feed dogs. I like to use an air can spray for removing lint, it better than a brush which tends to pack the lint instead of removing it.
Sounds like a jam. Cut the threads before the eyes of the needle, and if you can get in to cut the looper threads just before they leave the loopers, that should help. Loosen the needle screws and try to rock the handwheel so you can get the fabric off. Clean the machine, install new needles, rethread, and you should be good to go.
It sounds like your loopers are jammed.....if not,something else is....These are very cheap machines made in China..imported initially through jSM joys Sewing Machines...Put it back on ebay as soon as you can...
this very same thing happened to my flat machine turned out to be a piec of material jammed in the workings also wrong oil used or it might be thread jammed try and see
