My brother sewing machine keeps showing error message E1, but there is nothing wrong with the foot controller or presser foot. What else could it be?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1ayqYABn7o

An "E1" message appears on the panel. The foot controller was pressed (or the start/stop button was pressed if the foot controller is not connected) and the reverse/reinforcement stitch button was pressed while the presser foot is raised. Lower the presser foot lever before continuing the operation.

Brother CS 6000 E1 error message my presser foot is not up

Make Model E1 error

possibly the presser foot is still in the "Up" position?

Hi.
You can get the E1 error if the presser foot is not down. If you use the walking foot attachment it can keep the foot from coming all the way down.

Presser foot sensor/switch is either stuck or broken.

you may need to check the switch in the foot presser

Like stated before... the presser foot has to be down before you put the machine back together.

An "E1" message appears on the panel. Description: The foot controller was pressed (or the start/stop button was pressed if the foot controller is not connected) and the reverse/reinforcement stitch button was pressed while the presser foot is raised.

Lower the presser foot lever before continuing the operation.

some machines have a presser foot sensor or switch which prevents the machine sewing if the foot is not down.

if your presser foot is down and you still cannot sew the switch or switch actuator is most likely damaged. you will require a tech to repair this.
