Brother SE400 sewing machine error message: change the speed controller mode to off

Aynaria Sewing

Winnning the raceI’ve been having fun playing around with my Brother SE400 embroidery machine.

I wish I could have more time to devote to it, but life has been busy and I haven’t done as much sewing or knitting as I’d like. However in one of my first adventures with my brand-new Brother SE400, I stumbled upon the following error message…

 

Brother SE400 sewing machine error message:

change the speed controller mode to off

I couldn’t sew/embroider! I opened up the user manual but couldn’t locate the error message… Uh Oh! But, when I looked at the sewing machines screen and found the ‘Sewing Machines Tools’ screen I was able to correct this issue.  I changed the control speed to “Off”. That fixed the problem, and I was embroidering with no problems.

@Jennifer, Yeah they can be scary, but I’ve found there’s usually a fix, if you keep searching.

@sandra, Hi Sandra, It’s been a while since I’ve encountered that error message. I’m getting ready to go to bed, but I’ll try to recreate the error tomorrow after work. If successful, I’ll take a screenshot with my camera and create a new post about it on this site. Of course, I’ll respond to this post too. I’m hoping that resolves your issue! 🙂
