The thread is caught in the hook...Remove the upper thread and bobbin case, turn the hand wheel backwards and forwards by hand and remove the thread remands. Good Luck

Probably the belt tension needs adjusting, it is slipping like a car fanbelt and needs the same relative "give" when correctly tightened.
Remove the side cover where the handwheel is and loosen the motor fixing to adjust and increase the tension on the belt ....needs some slack, if you can move the belt 10mm with light pressure then it will be fine NOT TOO TIGHT or you will overload the motor. NOTE: If the side panel is not easily removed, ie 2 piece casing split in the middle, take it to a service centre or risk breaking the casing trying to get in....if it is more than a few years since last service, let someone do it all and get a sweet machine back, with no risk for not a whole lot of time or money

Sounds like you need to open the foot control and adjust the carbon bar, you will soon see it, just undo the screw and move it away from the contact or adjust the screw in the end.

What seems like motor running isn't so. The motor is actually stopping and the sound u get is from the winding. You should immediately raise yr foot from the foot pedal and stop supply to motor. Other wise you run the risk of loosing yr motor.
Your problem is due to something getting jammed in yr bobbin compartment.
Clean shuttle race and shuttle race free of lint regularly to avoid this.

Something in the drivetrain is seized. My first step would be to release the clutch knob (as if you threading a bobbin) and see if the motor will turn. If the motor turns with the drivetrain disengaged, it will be necessary to isolate the seized portion of the machine. You can either obtain a service manual and go through all the operations that are engaged by the drive train, or take it to a qualified service technician.
