Did you check if it was a 110V machine before you purchased it??
USA appliances are 110V so good chance by plugging it in in Australia's 240V electricity supply without putting a voltage adapter between you've fried it.
Check the plate on the machine beside the power in point - if it says 110V then you are going to have to buy an adapter (try **** Smith) to use this machine in Australia. However, if you saw sparks then good chance you've fried something already in the machine.
There are a very few quality machines that were made with Dual Voltage such as some of the Elna Stellas and they have a switch in the base of the machine to switch. But certainly not all and you can assume that most appliances coming from USA would be made for 110V power supply only.
Yea I have just seen behind and it says 120V and I have used 220V electricity supply. I think I have fried something in the machine and could you please suggest me with something. Will I be able to fix it by myself.
mate its a $300 machine, why wouldn't you just have bought one from Spotlight in Australia instead of imporinting from USA. I paid $1800 for my last Janome from a local dealer who I go back to for help, service and support. I'd say youve done your dough on your Singer. Its a cheap machine built for 120V current and you've put twice that through it. So even if you could souce 120V parts to replace you'd probably need to replace the main circuits and motor. Junk it and shop local.
