I have the same trouble. The trimmer just stopped trimming one day.
I haven't had the machine even a year yet. The tech guy says he thinks this
isn't covered in the warranty.
Anyway, I took off the needle plate and arm plate, cleaned with compressed air,
removed a thread, oiled, and did the trimmer test: No knife movement.
The pushrod was unhooked from the back of the knife. Finally, I got it rehooked
(VERY DIFFICULT TO DO), redid the test, all well. Put the plates back. Did
another trimmer test, A-OK.
I then ran a simple melco design to test for trim. Zilch, No trim. Tried
trimmer test again: no knife movement.
I removed the plates, found the pushrod unhooked, Re-hooked it, Re-did trimmer
test, all A-OK. Replaced the plates on arm and needle area. Retested trimmer.
Still moving freely back and forth.
Then I retried a simple melco design. No trim, Did the trimmer test, no
movement again.
How come it's unhooking when I sew but does fine for the continuous movement
trimmer test. I let it do the trim action continously about fifteen times
before stopping, no problem.
Now the tech guy here says to bend the pushrod, hmm... :confused:
What y'all think of that?
