missmoneypenny Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I was working on a quilt today on my Millennium and when I flipped the hand switch (not the foot pedal) to advance the quilt, it made a pop sound like a fuse blowing, sparked, and no longer worked with the hand switch or foot pedal. I went to the forum and saw a suggestion to unscrew the black cap and replace the fuse. Under the black cap, however, was a motor brush (I looked it up online) a little spring with a little piece of metal at either end. There was no fuse. I am not really sure I put that back correctly. It was hard to compress the spring. I also tried unplugging the motor from the surge protector I had it plugged in and plugging it directly into the outlet. It still doesn't work. I looked up the model of Dayton motor online and didn't see fuses in the replacement parts. What do I need to do? Is it under warranty like the machine? I'm on a tight time frame to complete this quilt as a gift for a friend. HELP!! Cindy $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeidiP Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 What you described sounds more like a short than a blown fuse. Worn brushes would be more likely to cause the fabric advance to work inconsistently. Send an email to service@apqs.com. And yes, if your machine is under warranty, the fabric advance will likely be covered also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningThreads Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 On our machines the fuse is located on the switch box. Worst case loosen the knob under the motor and slide the cogs apart advance the quilt by hand and the re engage the cogs and tighten the knob.
