no Power to 2021 Millie

Started to drop needle to pull up bobbin thread to begin this quilting, the machine sounded the same then stopped and turned off on its own.  It will not turn on. suggestions are appreciated. Of course its the weekend and no support available til Monday.

Debra,

It sounds like you may have blown a fuse. First, I'd check that you haven't popped a breaker - plug something that you know works into the plug you have your machine plugged into. If that works, plug your machine in again and check that it still doesn't turn on. There's a document on finding and replacing fuses in the Files Section on the We Love APQS Facebook page. If you're not already a member there, email me at info@apqsnw.com and I'll send it to you.

Thanks, it was a blown fuse.  I replaced it and I'm back in business.  I found the instructions on replacing the fuse and it was a quick fix.  I don't know what happened to cause a blown fuse, however.  But I will be ready next time.  Thanks for your help.

I have a Lucey - I changed the needle and started the machine, the foot lowered then stopped. The motor shut off but the lights still work. The machine was beeping at me but that has since stopped. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Linda, can you use the flywheel to bring the needle back up? It sounds like your needle may be in backwards and is hanging up on the hook.

Follow Barb’s suggestion.  Also if your machine was built for Canadian standards you probably have another fuse under the top cover.  It used to be the American machines the lights and motor were on the same fuse while the Canadian machines used separate fuses.  I don’t know if this is still the case.  

Let us know how you make out.

It likely is my fuse. My machine has two fuses. I was able to contact my local APQS service tech and trouble shoot. Unfortunately I don’t have spare fuses and will order some in the morning. Thanks.
