The needle may not be moving after a breakage repair due to several possible causes:

1. Incorrect Needle Position Signal – The machine may not detect the correct needle position signal. Adjust the needle position so the correct signal is displayed on the LED screen.
2. Loose Connection of Connectors – A connector might be loose. Insert the connector securely.
3. Loose or Soiled Belt – The belt might be loose or dirty. Adjust the tension or clean the belt.
4. Stop Position Error – The rotary hooks or needle bar drive system might be misaligned. Adjust or replace them.
5. Seizure of Driving Parts – The driving system might be stuck. Inspect and fix any obstructions.
6. Incorrect Take-up Lever Position – The take-up lever might be stopping at the wrong position. Adjust it to match other levers.

If the issue persists, further inspection or professional servicing may be needed.
