Sewing Machine Error Codes

Computerised industrial sewing machines show a code on the panel when the control box detects a problem. Pick your brand and code. Each page explains, in plain words, what the machine has detected, what to check first, and which parts are usually involved, with the manual it was read from.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do first when my sewing machine shows an error code?

Switch the machine off, wait ten seconds and switch it on again. If the code returns, find it below: each page says what the control box has detected and what to check, in the order the maker’s manual suggests.

Are these the official meanings?

Each explanation is written by us after reading the manufacturer’s instruction or service manual, and names the manual and page. For the full procedure, use the manual; for a visit or a board repair, use our repair form.

Do you repair control boxes and PCBs?

Yes. Shankar Sewing repairs sewing machine PCBs and control boxes and supplies servo motors, boards and sensors. Send the error code and your machine model on WhatsApp (+91-9643480908) or through the repair form.
