E7 error message Singer Patchwork

Stopped working

  • 2 more comments 
  • Charlene Lee Mar 23, 2014

    Sewing Machine Manual says nothing about an E7 message. It's been off for an hour, and it still says, "E7"

  • Charlene Lee Mar 23, 2014

    What does "E7" mean, anyway? It was working fine up to that point.

  • Charlene Lee Mar 28, 2014

    Brought my Singer Patchwork in to the place where I bought it last June. It worked perfectly there, and the sales person had no idea what "E7" meant. She called the main store, and they didn't know either.

    I will have to try that, thanks.

I used can air and blew out the reverse button area. Worked immediately after turning off and back on.

E7 means
The start/stop button, reverse/reinforcement stitch button
or the thread cutter button was pressed while no thread
cassette was installed. If the start/stop button is pressed before the sewing machine is correctly set up or if an operation is performed
incorrectly, an error message appears in the stitch indicator. Follow the instructions that appear.
If you press (Stitch selection key) or do the operation correctly while the error message is displayed, the message disappears.

    None of that was it. I finally could see that many times when pushing the button for reverse, it was stick part of the way. The machine probably couldn't decide to go forwards or backwards, so it gave an error message. I also got another error message, but can't remember the code. It's a faulty reverse button.

    The same thing happened to me. After seeing the E7 code I pushed the reverse button to unstick it, then turned the machine off then on again, and it was back to normal.

  • Stephanie L Grenier Jul 12, 2017

    Same for me my start stop button was stuck and didn't even feel like it was stuck so I turned off my machine after cleaning very well still wouldn't work finally I turned it off again and mashed on the three buttons turned it back on and it was working fine now I have switched to my petal so that this hopefully don't happen again !!!

How do I reset an E7 error message?

HAAA!!! Me, too!! I just got the same code. I actually took off all the stuff to clean it (glad I did too because after a whole week of sewing on it straight, it was hella filthy!), I still couldn't get it to work. The answer is in the Singer FAQ website (http://www.singerco.com/support/frequently-asked-questions). Your button hole lever has been bumped. It is just to the left of the the needle bar. I just pulled mine all the way down, then pushed it all the way back up. No more E7!!!! Color me happy for sure!

Error Code E7 on Singer 6180

E7 means the machine has 'had enough' and that error flashes to let you know it needs a break. I found that out by trial and error and after phoning Singer as well.
