Both the motor and the light work off the switch box separately USUALLY.
1. Look under your machine to see where the cord to the light is coming from. If the light cord is coming directly from the switch and the light is on, we can check that off our problems.
2. Now we need to see why the machine isn't moving. If you have a fairly new machine, it probably has a Servo motor which doesn't really make any noise when it runs. If you have an older larger motor, you may be able to hear the motor run when you turn it on. One way or the other, you still need to make sure if the belt is on both the motor and the hand wheel. Using a flash light or other bright light, follow the path under the machine of the black belt for your machine. It should go around a pulley on the right side of the motor and go up through the table and around the hand wheel on the right side of the machine. Because of the belt cover that is on your machine to keep us from getting things caught in the belt, it is almost impossible to see from up above. There is also a cover on the end of the motor sometimes and its hard to see in it.
3. If your belt does connect the motor and the sewing machine head as it should, press on the foot pedal while it is plugged in and turned on. If the motor pulley turns but the machine doesn't, your problem is in the machine. If the motor pulley doesn't turn, your motor is probably bad. If the motor turns, and the machine doesn't, try to turn the handwheel on the machine and see if it is jammed with thread or something else.
Once you isolate the problem, post again and we'll go to the next step. :)
SOURCE: question==>JUKI dnu 1541 or ddl 8300n
Might I be so bold as to disagree with Allmakes.
Why would a manufacturer build different models of industrial. They are designed for differnt jobs. The 8300 is a high speed garment machine, the 1541 is a compund feed upholstery machine. The motor is the same HP and does not affect the ability to sew heavy. The garment machine will sew garment weight leather just fine but you will have problems getting the fabric to feed properly particularly over seams. The other issure you may find with a garment machine is it's ability to handle heavier threads. I suggest that the 1541 would be a better choice for making bags and purses.

Do you have a stitch picked? Did you read your manual? I think that you should look at the brother-usa.com site if you do not have the manual. Unless you read the instructions you will get nowhere fast
SOURCE: I need information on tension disk for Juki 1541-S Walking Food Industrial Sewing Machine
Get a magnifying glass and look carefully at the disc for a build up of wax and burrs. You may need to clean them up or use a piece of fine sand paper to remove burrs. Start there.... then if no improvement seek out your local industrial sewing machine repairman to get parts and further help.
