Remove the needle plate, bobbin case and bobbin and clean any lint that has accumulated.
Oil, if the manual indicates you should do this and where it should be done. Some do not as it has to be done by a repair tech.
Re-thread the machine with the presser foot in the up position.
Make sure the bobbin thread is feeding from the bobbin spool in the correct direction and through the proper guides.
If the problem continues, the machine will have to be services by a sewing machine repair person. Take samples of the stitching so they can see what it happening - it could be the timing has to be reset.

It must be a design flaw- things don't always last like they are supposed to. I would personally check the physical reason it is not responding... knowing what it would take to make it stop moving- or whatis causing it to. *perhaps the switch isn't working to stop it- or the mechanism that controls it is worn down. If it was new- I'd return it- but there are only a few options at this point.

how do you adjust the tension on the bobbin?

Hi. Make sure the needle is inserted correctly. There is a flat side to the needle shank and that needs to face away from you. Check your manual to be sure, but I'm pretty sure this is correct for your machine.
Hope this helps,

The timing of the needle and the bobbin hook aren't right. The repairman should be able to easily fix this. There are places on the internet that will show you how to do this at home if you want to learn a new "money saving" thing.
