Heard a loud pop from machine after starting the program.. machine continued to work but stuck on 1 min to end

without knowing age of unit, I suggest replacing the motor. Sounds like the armature is worn the bearings and is moving inside the windings of the motor. I would do that first before moving forward with any other repairs.

Take it back or call for warranty service.

sounds like control board

replace control and drain pump

Yep I did the same. Finally recovered using the link shown below.

To Create a Crisis Recovery USB you must use a Win XP system

1. Insert Blank USB Drive
2. Open "CRISDISK" folder
3. Open "WINCRIS" application

WINCRIS should create the USB recovery drive

10. Continue holding END until USB drive begins to flash and a beep is heard.

12. System should complete recovery in 5-10 min. If system has not powered down in 15 min, power down by pressing the power button

Good luck Dean/Steve

I would call Singer at 1-800-4singer and have them direct you to an authorized warranty center. This sounds like an serious electrical problem and should be covered under warranty.

probly the clutch fork or through bearing

Bill ,i dont suspect the control unit is the problem im going back to the loud pop you heard I would say the pop you heard was one of the elemants blowing and that the reason the the breaker tripped if you say the clock,timer and light functon are ok it more so points to an elemant in most cases when an elemant blows it breaks the circuit .but the other componants also work when you reset the breaker i think in this case bill i would call a electrician it needs testing,sorry i could not help this time bill,but do not hesatate to contact me if i can help you again.adrian
