My machine won't run. It is giving me the error message stop for your safety purposes. What does this mean and how can I fix it?

Something is not quite right. Double check everything...loose needle, plug ins, threading, bobbin area for loose threads, etc.

Keep in mind that you've jostled the machine moving it from the service to your home. It could be as simple as the bobbin race being out of alignment. If nothing you do works... take it back and give the the person who serviced it the "look." and make him/her fix it.

Testimonial: "thank you so much for your help. I had checked the bobbin and casing, I even changed the needle. I have taken the machine back to the technician;"

SOURCE: E1 Error

After spending many hours on the phone with Sears, someone finally gave the manufacturer's phone number (1-877-739-4648)! Their help desk told me that an E1 error usually means that a fuse needs to be replaced. The fuse is covered under the 2 year electrical warranty. They said I should take the machine to a Sears Service Center to get it repaired. Go luck. I am completely frustrated with the Sears website and the salespeople who want to help, but can't because they haven't been trained on the machines!

I have had this happen to me many times. It really does feel as though the problem is in the bobbin, but it's not. After much aggrivation I took it into the repair shop and found out the thred was comming unhooked on the top not in the bobbin. It still happens all the time but I know what it is now so I just rethred the top.
