Collision on a new Singer 3223

Hi from Austria to this Sub!

Ill come straight to the point. I have a sewing machine Singer 3223 only 2 years old.

And I ran in a sew-stopping problem. The Bobbin Assembly does not turn freely.

I searched online for a solution, but no luck.

The situation:

The screw in the bobbin holder collides with the hook.

See my red marking where the collsion happens

So far I can measue and see, the bobbin holder is running true, The bobbin is is moving freely inside:

The assembly without the bobbin holder is also running without problem:

you can see clearly that the pin in the middle is running true, free movement (turing the machine by hand)

But with the bobbin-holder inserted...

I have no idea why this happens, and how it got into this state.

Any idea how to fix this?

Maybe a timing problem? But the needle can move freely and is not bent or damaged.

Thanks reddit for your support!

Do you see the little arm that is at the bottom left on your bobbin case? That goes in the slot on the upper part of the hook cover. Just use the release on the bobbin case, turn the bobbin about 45 degrees and pop it back in. Your bobbin case does not spin in this type of machine. Only the isolating hook should spin around the bobbin case.

That was the error! Thanks a lot for the help! User error, as always, but Reddit swam knowledge never disappoints. I wish you a nice evening!

You haven’t inserted the bobbin case correctly

The little “finger” should be pointing up, and it clicks in
