Pfaff 2140 sewing machine, The main motor blocked

Hello,
I have a Pfaff 2140 sewing machine. I have fixed the disconnected wire and now the screen is on and working. However, when I press the pedal I got this message
' The main motor blocked' . The needle is not moving up and down. The screen is responsive to any input. but the machine is not sewing.
I really appreciate any advise of what is going on with the machine.
Thank you

Helló!

Perhaps, the thread was clogged so the drive engine is tight
Try to drive the engine by hand.
The pedal is plugged in?
Clean the fibers with flossed

Hi Sarah,

Always remember T-N-T. Thread, Needle, Tension. Assuming its threaded properly, is the needle all the way in and facing the right direction?
These symptoms also suggest the bobbin may be in the bobbincase upside down thus turning in the wrong direction.
