Singer ce 250 says safety device activated cant find the problemThere is no thread tangled in bobbin case

Answer This Question
  • mitcholaw Apr 05, 2009

    I am having the same "safety device" problem. I've checked the bobbin casing, removed a bit of lint under the bobbin casing and the machine still won't reset or run. The hand wheel is hard to turn, but the machine is clean and oiled. Any suggestions?

    I have a CE-200 and am getting the same "Safety Device is Activated" error message when I try to start embroidering. When I push the button to start embroidering, I can hear something turning in the machine and then it stops and the error message pops up on the computer. I cleaned out under the bobbin case very well and oiled it. I don't see anything stuck in there at all. When I turn the wheel, it turns freely without any resistance. The needle and embroidery foot look fine. The hoop looks fine. The manual says that thread could be "tangled up with the hook". What/where is "the hook" so I can check on that?

    I just sewed with this machine yesterday and it worked fine, now trying to embroider with it today is just not working. Thank you to anyone who has any advice!

I just realized my problem... the little thing to put the bobbin on to refill it wasn't quite all the way back to the left. I can't believe it! I'm so glad that I figured out what it was though. Hopefully this information will help someone else!

    Thank you so much! That fixed my problem as well. Three weeks, off and on I've been trying to get this machine to sew and something as simple as that fixed the problem.

Check to see if bobbin casing has moved out of original position
Check if needle is not bent or blunt
Check and see if there is not something underneath the bobbin casing. could be little dust ball.

My singer model #247 was working fine and threaded and filled bobbin several times. The bobbin got tangled. Got it undone but can't get it to pull bobbin thread up now. I need for sewing camp asap
First thing--change to a new needle in case it was bent when the threads got tangled. Now un-thread the machine all the way and re-thread it, making sure your thread is going through the needle in the proper direction. You have to have a top thread in order to get the machine to pick up the bottom thread.

Remove your bobbin case and inspect it for any damage. Scratches, holes, snags. Sometimes you can Dremmel the snags.

The safety device was activated on my Brother PE 770 because the thread got tangled down in the bobbin area. I've cleaned it out and now the top stitching is loose and is also sewing on underneath where...
if you had a "Birds nest" when sewing, you still have some lose threads in the bobbin case and the case isn't installed correctly.

E6. Motor locked up because the thread is tangled. I have re-threaded machine and bobbin; thread still tangles after 2 or 3 stitches. HELP!
In my Brother CE-4000, it appears as though the feed dogs (which you can change to a higher position or a lower position) are allowing the bobbin case to spin all the way around and then the needle hits the bobbin case. When the feed dogs are in the lowest position, the bobbin case does not spin all the way around when the needle moves up and down (and therefore the needle does not get stuck in the bobbin case. I am wondering if this is a problem with the feed dogs/case?

How do i put threed into the bobbin and keep it from not getting tangled?
Is it getting tangled while you're spooling the bobbin on the top right corner of the Singer 1507 machine? If this is the case, you have to pull the thread through the top tiny hole in the bobbin, and hold on to the thread end. Then click the bobbin to the right to lock it in place, power up your machine. Keep holding the thread as you begin spooling the bobbin. Let go of the thread once the bobbin starts to spin a few rounds and the thread should not get tangled.

Bobbin case is popping out, and machine is birdnesting
Usually when this happens the bobbin is in wrong, replace it make sure the thread is going out the right way, make sure there is no lint or small pieces of thread around or underneath the bobbin area. Make sure you thread it with the foot up. Also make sure you are usng the right bobbin for the machine. They can easy get mxed up.

Dear Wendy,

The E4, error message means the safety device is activated. Machine is locked up due to thread entangled with the bobbin case. Remove the needle plate and bobbin case. Check for any thread around the hook area. Also check your handwheel. It should turn freely. Good Luck

A brand new Singer Quantum Futura CE 200 Sewing/Embroidery machine, have not been able to embroider or sew a single stich, all I have been able to do is wind the bobbin. When I'm going to start...
Dear Magarita, The safety device is activated when thread gets entangled around the bobbin case. First check by removing the plastic see-through plate. If necessary remove the 2 scews on the metal needle plate and remove the bobbin case completely. Put it back and test by turning the handwheel. It should turn freely.

Hope this solves your problem.
