Kenmore 10 stitch needle won't move

Does the motor rev when the foot control is pressed down? If you don't hear the motor, then the problem could be the foot pedal rheostat or the motor itself. If you do hear the motor, then the motor belt is probably worn. The belt connects the motor to the hand wheel to needle bar mechanism.

The parts are available from several suppliers, including https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/singer-2000-sewing-machine-parts.aspx?index=72 and https://www.singeronline.com/2000.html . These sites have both the motor belt and the foot control.

I hope this helps.

Sounds like it's shorting.
out. Be careful, unplug it before you check the pedal for loose wires etc.

Sounds like the motor belt is off or broken.

good luck!

ensure the bobin winding is dis-engaged if this is still in wind mode the rest of the machine is stopped for safety.

Try tightening the balance wheel

I would try replacing the needle, as it may have got bent. I have had this happen and I was sure needle wasnt effected. when I changed needle it was fixed. The very tip of my old needle had a slight curve and wasnt connecting to correct spot on throat plate. make sure you have needle in highest position and that stitch selection in turned back to straight stitch.

Make sure that you pushed the bobbin winder all the way to the left.

only having the machine check at a sewing machine repair shop can say for sure

Refer to your manual and make sure the bobbin winding feature is disengaged.

Turn off the power and remove the needle and if there is fabric, remove it also.

Open the needle plate look for thread tangles.

After cleaning, turn the hand-wheel by hand to see if it moves the needle up and down.

If it does, press on the foot pedal to see if it is working.

Any of the above could be the problem.
