Check the cam for broken "legs". If any of the three tabs are broken off, it can cause this.

Take to authorized Husqvarna Viking dealer for repair. This is not something that can be done by the owner. Check Husqvarna Viking website for dealer closest too you.

SOURCE: I have a Husqvarna Viking quilt 870 sewing

The overload message is usuall due to a bind in the mechanical function of the machine. When the motor has an extra "load" caused by something like a tight belt or dry bearing, it "overloads" the motor and the error message is displayed. It is doubtful your problem is computer related. Either way a trip to your service tech is required. If you continue to sew with it, you do run the risk of possible damage to some other parts of your machine. The computer portion of your Husqvarna is guaranteed for 5 years and the mechanical parts carry a 20 or 25 year guarantee depending on when you purchased your machine. A copy of your bill of sale from a Husqvarna Viking dealer or a stamped warranty card is the proof of purchase needed to obtain warranty replacement of parts. Labor is only guaranteed for 1 year.

SOURCE: I have a huskystar E20,

To answer the posting of: " By cakes_bynich on Mar 20, 2011
I have a huskystar E20, husqvarna viking sewing machine. I the bobbin winder is not engaging...any suggestions" Are you using the right bobbin - class 15 and not 15J? I am having a similar problem and I believe it's because I'm using a bobbin 15J and not the 15. 15J's are just slightly less tall when lying flat next to a 15, and the edges of the 15J are slightly curved inward toward the thread whereas the 15's edge are completely straight and flat. If I hold a 15J just right on the winder, I can get it to engage sometimes. That slight size difference must be the cause. I'm off to pick up some new 15's and will test it out!

The plastic gear in the 6010 Viking is cracked and I'd like to replace it.

Have you searched the internet?

Absolute Sewing Machine Information Husqvarna Viking Service manual

Sewing Machine Viking 6000 Cam Replacement (not sure if it is the cam gear that needs replacement)

If you are unable to find instructions, perhaps you can find an independent sewing machine repair person who would be willing to do it for you.

Can't get seam former out

To remove the seam former (stitch pattern cam).

- Move your stitch selection dial so the white dot on the dial lines up with the red dot on the body of the machine. Then you pull the cam out.

It can be difficult to remove if the cam has been sitting in the machne for a long time.

Machine only sewes in reverse have cleaned and lubed machine

If this is a 2000, 5000 or 6000 series Husqvarna Viking, you have not cleaned the reverse mechanism fully. It will come loose when completely cleaned and lubed.

Dog feed with husqvarna viking sewing machine model 6440 does not work

You should join the yahoo group "vikingsewingmachinespre1980". Bill will take very good care of you. I'm new to that group and have gotten every question I've asked answered. This is just for pre-1980 Vikings which includes the 6000 series - including the 6440. Good luck.

Cannot snap decorative stitch cam back in

What model machine are you using? If it is one of the 2000 series machines (might be labelled 6430 or something else but starting with 6000), from memory you need to align the knobs on the front to the "dot" before you remove or insert a new cam.

Replacing the cam-stack in my Viking 6440

The cam stack can come out quite easily but putting it back in has some danger to it. The screw that holds the mechanism guide pin is somewhat tricky to get back in and if you cross the threads you've ruined your machine because the part is no longer available that the srew goes through. If you cross the threads it pitches the guide and your dial on the front of the machine that selects the different stitches won't work. If you shine a light in the back of the machine you can see it the camstack is cracked.

Looking for replacement cam

I found out that the cams for the 6000 series are no longer available through Viking repair or dealers. I will check on eBay to see if anyone has parts available there.
