babylock overlocker mechanical problem

Hi,

I bought a babylock imagine wave secondhand recently. It worked fine when I bought it but I got it serviced immediately just in case it needed some oil and a clean. I have not used it much over the summer but three times out of the 6 or 7 times that I have used it the machine has failed to start at all. When I press the pedal the needles move slightly and then stop, which I think may be the safety switch cutting out. Also since the service the machine rattles when I sew quickly and it did not before the service. The work on the service had a six month warranty but I am reluctant to take the machine back in case something worse happens to it. Does anybody have any idea of what may be causing this problem? Also I would really value recommendations of good places for a babylock service in the Cambridgeshire area in the UK.

Thanks.

Make sure the looper cover door is closed all the way. It has an interlock safety switch

Hi,

Thanks for answering. Could I just check with you exactly which door that is? Is it the one that slides in and rests against the cutting blade?

Thanks.
