→ Remove it.

 

 

 

•

Is the thread trimming motor operating?

 

 

→ If so, refer to the block diagram showing the cable connections and

 

 

check to see if connection from the thread breakage sensor to the

 

 

main PCB is proper. Also adjust the thread breakage sensor PCB.

 

 

(Refer to "Replacing thread breakage sensor PCB.)

 

•

If it is not operating, refer to the block diagram showing the cable

 

 

connections and check to see if connection from the thread trimming

 

 

motor to the main PCB is proper.

 

•

Check to see if connection from connector P3 of the main PCB to

 

 

connector P9 of the power supply PCB in the control box is proper.

 

•

Check fuse F6 on the power supply PCB in the control box.

 

 

→ If it is blown, replace it with a new one. If it is blown again, replace

 

 

the power supply PCB.

Power frequency error occurs.

•

Check whether the connector P2 of the power supply PCB is fallen out.

Wiper out error occurs.

•

Does the wiper on the error head remain projected?

 

 

→ If the wiper is tangled with a thread, remove it. If the wiper does

 

 

not return smoothly, adjust it.

 

•

Enter the solenoid test mode and operate the wiper motor. Check the

 

 

icon on the panel.

 

 

→ If the icon is not reversed white, check to see if connection from the

 

 

wiper sensor to the head PCB is proper. Replace the wiper sensor

 

 

with a new one. Replace the head PCB with a new one.
