Hums but doent want to go - Kenmore 11101 Mechanical Sewing Machine

Does it hum when you are using the machine? If so, it could possibly need a thorough oiling. If it hums when it is turned on but not in use, could be one of the doors or another part is vibrating causing a noise.

Does the needle move when you turn the hand wheel manually? If so then you may need a motor belt. If not, check to see if the clutch is engaged (the small wheel in the center of the hand wheel).

Sounds like the belt is off. Your local repair center is your best bet.

put your thread on there right place, and adjust your tension.and change your needle.

First unplug the machine from the wall....Try cleaning the unit and oil at all the oil-points. Check that the unit is threaded properly. Check your tension of the thread, and the tension of the bobbin..Check the bobbin compartment for any thread strands. Remove the bobbin and holder and turnmachine by hand to see if the bobbin area rotates back and forth. The stitches are created with this action. If there is any debris clean it out . check the belt also ,many times the belt gets worn and slips. Hope that this helps I can only try to guess a solution, as your question is vague.
