My machine used to fill bobbins, no problem. Now it suddenly stopped working, as far as threading bobbins goes. Doesn't matter which bobbin I use. Seems to be in correct position. I disengage the wheel on the right side, and nothing happens except for a noise. Please tell me there's something I can do at home to fix this problem!
Your bobbin winder has seized. Remove the top cover and oil the area where the bobbin winder shaft goes through the bobbin winder assembly. You might need to force the winder to turn with your fingers for a while, but it will begin to turn smoothly once the oil gets in there.
If the black bobbin winder tire has a flat spot worn into it, you will need a new bobbin winder tire. Costs around a dollar.
Maybe a silly question... But what kind of oil would be best?

If you cannot fix it yourself it is cheaper to buy a separate bobbin winder than pay the > $50 per hour fee that a mechanic would charge.
