My little Singer Simple just quit today for no reason! Broke the needle so put in new one & don't think that had anything to do with it but no power! The light works so don't think its a fuse, any ideas anyone??
Did you check to make sure the foot pedal cord is completely plugged into the machine? Since there is power to the machine since you have light, maybe the cord to the foot pedal jiggled loose as you were changing the needle.
Sounds like the foot pedal to me too--see if you can find one online and order it--AMZ,or ebay---maybe even Singer--would be worth it to check it out--then if that isn't the problem you cn send it back.
I've started checking that very idea, they aren't expensive & yes returnable if doesn't work. Called a repair shop he pretty much said it was junk & dont buy Singer 🥵 !
