Having trouble winding bobbin. I have followed directions but light doesn't turn green

SOURCE: Unable to wind bobin og CS6000 Brother sewng machine

I have the same machine and this is how I do it. If this doesn't work, then it must have a problem and not because you have done it incorrectly.

Thread the main thread on machine as shown.
Pull the end of the thread throw the top hole in the bobbin roll ( you know the little clear thing where the bobbin thread will be wind on.
Place it on the bobbin holder and push that unit to the right to touch the thing there on the right....Now turn on your machine. Either by using the sew button or using the foot pedal.
This should work...

Good luck.

no idea... did you lock thread onto bobbin so it holds to wind?

SOURCE: after following instructions on winding the bobbin

If the bobbin spool is spinning, it will thread.

Take the end of the thread through one of the little holes in the side of the bobbin spool and pull out about 8" of thread. Hold onto it as the bobbin begins to spin.

After the thread has wound 5 - 6 turns, stop the machine and cut off the thread end. Continue the winding process.

Have you disengaged the clutch? is the needle going up and down at the same time. If needle is still moving, then clutch is not disenaged. This is usually a knob inside the flywheel, or a button on the flywheel, machines will vary. Just recheck your manual and ensure that you have disenaged the drive to the needle.

Now check that the bobbin winder is engaged. On most machines, you need to move the bobbin and the spindle it sits on over against a stop to engage the bobbin winding mechanism on top of the machine.

If you have done all this and the bobbin just isn't turning on the spindle at all, then it may be the rubber ring just inside the case which drives against the flywheel, has worn out. Proper name is "Bobbin Winder Tyre".

This is a link to the part I mean http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/bobbin-winder-tire-brother-x55238051.aspx there is no image but they look like a little black rubber ring and being rubber, they do wear, perish and crack with age.

So if you are able to open up the machine covers you may well be able to see this part and replace it yourself. Or just confirm the diagnosis. They are not expensive to replace.
