Toyota 2260 sewing machine. When I press the foot pedal, I can hear the motor but the hand wheel seems stuck and therfore the belt does not 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.

I assume you are referring to a Viking 6570 sewing machine.
Ensure power is getting to machine is light working?, is the motor trying to move when you press the pedal? if you hear noise that it is trying to move the mechine is blocked try gently turning by hand if still does not move then machine has mechanical issue or is blocked with threads or dust
When was machine services or oiled as per handbook?
If there is no no sound from motor but machine has power and turn normally by hand this would indicate either the foot pedal switch or the motor is broken and probably needs replacement. Try with another foot pedal first if possible

Check the belt between the motor and the rest of the machine hardware. Check that the foot control wiring and rheostat isn't damaged. The most common problem is that the belt failed or is loose on the pulleys. Sometimes you do need to replace the foot control. If you add a comment with the manufacturer and model number, I may be able to find a source for the parts.

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!

have a nice day and thanks

well,it seem that your upper camshaft was stuck due to several factor on mechanical linkages and maybe on gears.You have to isolate the checking since you have clean lower bobbins free from dirt and thread/fabrics chips.If there an opening on top of machine open it to check some mechanical destorsion or breakage.Check some broken gears inside.If nothing try to open also at the bottom of machine cover and there are also belt and gears connected to the motors and bobbins shuttle holder if so oil all shafting oil port,oil port bushing specially on bushing near hand wheel there is port for oil,
check also motor assembly of machine,you can disconnect belt from motor release the bolt holding motor adjust to lower tension belt and release the belt.Take some tools such as monkey pliers or small pipe wrench that can hold hand wheel just crack in order to move suddenly after oiling for several hours sometime bushing and shafting rushes emerged or if you have anti rush spray put in on.After cracking and you can move a little crack only by your hand several time lleft and right until all linkages free from rush.If you can move all parts and hand wheel rotate freely.Check also motor by rotating the small pulley conncted to motor if free to move.if ok put back and reassembly all parts disconnected.try to move again by hand if free to move after all asssembly.Run machine using foot pedal.

Hi,
By removing the top cover, or the turning wheel cover,
you will be able to see the belt.
If the belt is not broken, then try to adjust the belt tension,
by adjusting either the height of the motor, or the tension wheel.
