Brother 5240 had paper jam but now refuses to work

Bad news ! That roller at the rear is the fuser heating roller. I have had the exact same thing happen to a very expensive brother color laser printer. My printer had the paper fused to this fuser heater roller. Recommend getting printer fixed by a brother service place. I am guessing that Brother service will have to replace the fuser unit

My Brother XM2701 took a short fall (2-3 inches). Now all it will do is make a whining noise when the foot pedal is pushed. I have cleaned around the bobbin case. Any thoughts.

I have two thoughts on this. The belt, if it is belt driven has come off. The whirring is the motor. As it is an electronic machine, bad connection to the control board. https://www.google.com/search?q=brother+xm2701+belt+replacement ..

Lisere. Why doesn't it sew forward?

Check the Reverse Switch (just below the Stitch Selector) to see if it is or has returned to the UP Position. If you can't press it Down it may be stuck or broken. You may have to take it to a repair shop.
