Fly wheel won't turn - Husqvarna Viking 1

There is insufficient information. Does the needle move when you turn the hand wheel. If it doesn't, the fly wheel has been disengaged. (This lets you wind a bobbin. However, if the bobbin winder pin has been returned to the left position, the winder isn't engaged.) This is controlled by the knob in the center of the hand wheel. Hold the hand wheel with one hand and turn the knob towards the back of the sewing machine.

If the fly wheel is engaged, then the problem could be the motor or the pedal rheostat. You might try to find a new compatible foot control first, https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/elna-star-62-sewing-machine-parts.aspx?index=1 . The motor is no longer available.

I hope this helps.

The small wheel on the side of the hand wheel may not be engaged. If it still doesn't work when tightened you may take the small wheel off. On the small wheel there is a small screw that needs to be loosened so the wheel can turn all of the way off. Inside is a round metal piece with ears on each side. Turn it over and reattach the handwheel. Now, it may work.

yes, it is possible. or a part inside the machine could be broken
it would be a good idea to have the machine checked.

I would replace the needle anyway. It's hard to tell if one is bent or not.

Remove your feed dog/needle plate and the bobbin cover. Take out your bobbin and bobbin carrier.

Get out a magnifying glass and really examine. Look for thread ends in between moving parts.

Also check the thread pathways. Especially where the take up lever is hidden. I've heard of some ladies finding threads snarled up in that area which caused problems like this.

Good luck. If all else fails take it in for repair.

Good day!

that problem is usually happen when your machine have clog or no lubrication please try to use oil to lubricate your machine at all moving parts inside.

Thank you and good luck.

Do you have a bunch of material and thread stuck in the feed dog? Sounds like. This will sometimes happen. I'm afraid the only thing you can do is carefully work with a seam ripper or small scissors to get it all out. Be careful working. You will damage this part of your fabric, but you can take the seam allowance in a small bit. You will probably have to remove fabric & thread from underneath, through the bobbin area, too.

Once you have all of this cleared, the needle and wheel will turn. I suggest you try and take the needle out of the shaft and try pulling it out of the fabric before you start your work, too. That way, you won't risk breaking it and have a piece fly off at you.

It's frustrating and will probably make you curse at the machine-it's happened to everyone who sews at one time or another, and will happen again, I'm afraid.

Sometimes it is a simple thing like a faulty bobbin, there is a very small piece of plastic that the winder has to catch and if it is worn or broken or just plain faulty then the bobbin will not turn
