Huskylock 936 error code

Husqvarna Viking has the text instructions and for a couple of cover-stitch options on the Huskylock 936 page: http://www.husqvarnaviking.com/en-US/Machines/HUSKYLOCK-936 . The link to these instructions are here: http://www.husqvarnaviking.com/SiteMedia/EN/US/Documents/Learning%20Center/Huskylock_Specialty_Techniques_x_.pdf?ext=.pdf . There is also a video for setting up a triple cover stitch in the How-To tutorial. Note: the video requires Adobe Flash Player to run. The manual has a section on the cover stitch starting at page 40. This is available here: http://manuals.husqvarnaviking.com/VSM/Husqvarna%20Viking/HVManual.nsf/1fd5659e6f37141041256697003e64c0/de210fba65cb0805852575ed0070df04/$FILE/Huskylock_936_manual_EN.pdf .

I hope the steps in one of these files helps you set up the serger.

Viking Huskylock 936 User Manual

My suspicion is that Viking sergers (905, 910, 936) bind up after heavy use and years of service. In other words, they are not "lubricated for life". Can you turn the handwheel on the machine? If not (or if extremely hard), you now know what the motor was dealing with. My guess is the motor is burned out, but you need both a total overhaul of the main shaft bearing system (cleaning the bearing and relubrication), and, a new motor.
I probably should consider repairing sewing machines in my retirement.

What are you trying to do? It will say overloaded usually if the fabric is too think that your trying to serge on, sometimes just tapping on the foot after you have let off it will let you resume, otherwise, yes, take the fabric out and start again.

the rolled hem should only be used for light weight fabrics, if you read the manual it will tell you this..flannel is just too thick a fabric.

The shaft is getting stiff and motor can't turn it. Try taking the bottom off and cleaning the fuzz out. Use alittle oil on all of the joints.

Sounds like time for service by an authorized Husqvarna Viking service technician. You can locate a dealer near you by visiting the husqvarna viking website and clicking on the Dealer link on the left-hand side of the page - http://www.husqvarnaviking.com

Good luck.

The manual is useless for beginner trying to thread the machine - and the DVFD is not much better.

Help

I have the CD which illustrates the correct threading, step by step.  Do you have email?  I would be happy to share.
Let me know,
