Brother PR-600...does anyone know if it's a major problem if it says "main motor lock"? The needle broke while sewing, and it is stuck in the down position and will only say "main motor lock" on the screen?? Thanks for any info!

It may be that there is a piece of broken needle stuck in the raceway, take it all out and have a good look, with the bobbin case out the machine should turn, if it does not then you have a problem.

How to get brother pr600 out of main motor test mode?

Looks like the machine is bound up, or the motor is failing. If the hand wheel is easy to turn then it is probably the motor drawing too much current.
Brother recommends a new motor and belt every 1500 hours of run time.

Main motor lock, inappropriate needle position, after broken needle

The broken needle may be lodged in the bobbin housing. If you cannot locate, take it in for professional servicing. You may have put the timing out of whack.

My pr 600 freezes

You might have Thread particles build up. Puchase canned Air for electronis and use it on a regular basic to clean your bobbin case area. Also when you change threads color always clip your thread near the spool and pull your thread out from the bottom near your needle. When you pull your thread through the top little pieces of the thread break of and fall into the chamber of your embroidery machine .

Wiper error occuring between thread sequence.

wiper error can come from the needle threader not working right, the cutter not working right or the picker not working right, i would recommend taking this to a dealer for service because setting the picker is easy but you have to be in the service program of the machine
