The needle may be bent or the needle has been installed incorrectly. If neither are the solution, then the needlebar has probably been knocked out of alignment. You may find instructions on the internet for take it for service.

Frequently, while I am sewing, the needle hits something below the guide plate and gets stuck. I have to remove the guide plate and then the needle will release. What is the problem with my machine?
If the needle gets stuck with no thread, The needle is hitting something. Could be needle not up all the way or something needs adjusting. If it gets stuck with thread. It is probably an upper thread tension or threading issue.
