If the symbol looks like ] [, then this isn't generally an error message. The machine is in bobbin wind mode. Move the bobbin winder spindle to the left. If the spindle is all the way to the left, then you have a problem with the bobbin winding mechanism below the bobbin winder spindle slot. The sewing machine isn't correctly getting the message of where the spindle is.
Sewing Machine: Needle won't move
A disengaged clutch, broken drive belt or internal drive gear failure can prevent the needle from moving. Engage the hand wheel clutch if you have it disengaged for bobbin winding. If the needle won't move with the clutch engaged, unplug the sewing machine and check the drive belt. https://www.searspartsdirect.com/diy/symptom/sewing-machine-repair/1234596/needle-won-t-move/smac1011147
How to Fix Brother Sewing Machine Error Code E6
Q: What does E6 error message mean?
A: The motor locked up because thread is tangled
Q: How to fix E6 error message?
A: Do the following:
The upper thread could be tangled. Remove the upper thread and any loose threads. Raise the pressure foot, raise the needle to its highest position and rethread the machine.
Remove the bobbin and bobbin case to clean any lint or loose threads. Install the bobbin case so that the projection on it aligns with the spring. Then install the bobbin into the bobbin case.
The needle could be bent. Replace the needle making sure the flat side is facing the back.
That is the wierdest error message I've ever seen on a sewing machine. Did you try a brand new needle? Are you sewing thick fabric (does the message appear when sewing light-weight fabric? Remove the bobbin case from the machine and check for thread wrapped somewhere. If you are not able to find an answer on your own, then it's probably best to take it for service.
I hope this helps. Some manuals are available through a sewing machine dealer for a slight fee; that may be a better option for you to find the exact manual for your machine.
If you do not have your user's manual, you can purchase another one at several sites for a nominal charge, and download it immediately. I would recommend that you have one, and keep it near or under your machine.
