Overlocker pedal plugged in light on but not moving?

I believe it is two wires. The cord could be cut and extended any reasonable length so long it is done in accordance with requured regulations.

Basically, whatever materials and method you use to extend the cable must meet the same specifications and safety requirements of the original.

or try contacting a sewing machine repair service.

Sounds like Janome replacement parts would work on your machine.


Here's a manual if you need one:

Push the flywheel inn.

If it is new, it will be under warantee, so take it back if you are SURE there is a problem....you DID read the manual ??

I guess that's why it's never a good idea to lend out our favorite machines.

Perhaps the machine needs a good cleaning and oiling. Most likely, the borrower did not give it needed TLC (Sergers generally require more frequent maintenance due to the lint generated, multiple moving parts, and speed.) It may be good to ask the advice of a service technician. It could be something really easy that a thorough clean, oil, and adjustment would resolve or something more complicated and expensive such as replacing broken parts. At least some professional advice will help you decide how to move forward.

sounds like there is a short in the wiring and the machine need
to be checked

does the machine have any smell?
do you have a manual?

can you hear the engine humming when you plug it in? if so, that eliminates electrical supply to the engine.

If you manually turn the flywheel towards you does the loopers and needles move through a stitch sequence? If yes, then its not the main drive gears inside. If there is no movement or if a looper just "flops" around, you've got an internal drive problem, probably time to take it to a technician.

Lastly, check that the looper cover and side cover are fully closed as they will have safetly cutouts on the doors that prevent the machine from operating when the door is still not fully closed.

No you cannot, the transformer will work for a while and it will get very hot and cound catch fire. You should get a transformer at least 100 W to 120 W. It can be an auto transformer which is not so bulky as an isolating transformer, but be careful how you wire it up.

Also have look on the machine it self to see how many watts in consumes. The number on the pedal may be the handling capacity of the pedal control.
