I keep getting error E6 on Brothers CS 6000i- I cleaned the thread several times and when I try to restart sewing it happens again. I've removed the bobbin and re-threaded and it keep jammin and beeping. This is a fairly new machine- I just want to sew and help would be great

Follow the instructions below if you receive the error message "E6"
1. Check if the machine rattles and stops as soon as the sewing starts
- Upper thread could be tangled or threaded incorrectly
- Check that the thread take-up lever is threaded

- Raise the presser foot to raise the needle to its highest position and re-thread the machine
2. Remove the bobbin and bobbin case
- Clean any lint or loose threads

- Install the bobbin case so that the projection on it aligns with the spring and install the bobbin into the bobbin case

3. The needle could be bent
- Check that the needle does not hit the needle plate
- Replace the needle if necessary
- Make sure the flat side is facing the back
If the problem persists, your machine may require service.

E6 ERROR

...

try using a pair of tweezers or wire pliers to get the thread

You machine is probably not threaded correctly.

try changing the bobbin and see if the problem still happens
and if it does happen again then the machine needs to be checked
to see if their is something wrong with the hook and hook race.

Needle Position Sensor is disconnected
This sensor detects the drive timing for the pulse motor for
zigzagging and feed, the vertical stop position for the needle. It
detects the upper shaft angle of rotation using a shutter attached
to the upper shaft and an optical sensor.

See HERE for Service Manual

What kind of thread are you trying to use? Is it a decent fresh thread? If, it is old, throw it out and buy some fresh quality thread. Usually, cheap thread is the problem.

Hi! The E6 error means the thread is tangled. I suggest you completely unthread the machine, including the bobbin. clean out any lint or bits of thread in the bobbin area, and carefully rethread.
Hope this helps!

just had same problem oil it, there is a little hole on top of machine close to the bobbin threader drop some oil in there to oil the motor. turn the wheel may take several drops and a couple of applications....thank god my mom can sew too...lol she found the problem!! My manual is in spanish and I am american born and only speak and read english.lol

If your thread is not tangled .The E6 will come up also if the top thread is not threaded properly. Is your thread breaking at all ?
