That is a mechanical machine with no electronics. The most likely culprit in your scenario is an issue with the motor. Whip out your multimeter and test it for continuity. Or drop it into a Singer Service Centre.
There are some areas of the machine which cannot be accessed for home servicing - the covers need to be opened up to access them. If the hand wheel is heavy to turn then you may be at the beginning of a needle bar seizure, given the noise at that end of the machine - this will usually sound like a groan. We see this occasionally in machines which have been worked hard without servicing. If you have caught it early, it should be solved by a service at your local sewing centre.
You can loosen the screw on the back and slide the end cover off and put a couple of drops of oil (use only light machine oil) on the top of the needle bar, which will run down to the bearing surfaces, but if that is dry enough to be making noises, the other internal bearings will also be looking for some love.
An E6 error indicates a thread tangle. Combined with the noises you are hearing my guess would be that the tangle is around the take-up lever pivot and is seizing the machine (causing an overload - hence why it won't sew). The origin of this is often a further thread tangle between the tension disks, which has allowed the thread to fly loosely around the take-up. Your best bet will be to take it to your local sewing centre. This is the sort of issue we commonly address as a part of servicing. You will find a description of what you might try in the Service Centre section of our shop's website http://www.kornacraft.com.au/sewingcentre-under-the-covers/
I would suggest that you call pfaff because if you do not have a pfaff dealer where you live then you will have to pack it up and ship it to a pfaff dealer that is near to you. Good luck oh and make sure to insure it. Hope that helps
