I just bought a Singer 3232, from Amazon. I plugged everything in and have power, but when I tried to load thread onto the bobbin spindle, nothing happened when I pressed the pedal. The motor just revved. The spindle is in the correct position. When I put the bobbin spindle in the sewing position and threaded the needle. I tried to stitch, but again the motor just revved. I tried calling Singer for help, but their hold time is exceeding 1 hour.
Please help before I start a return process on Amazon.

The Singer website offered these possibilities, but I wouldn't think they apply on a brand new machine?
1. The bobbin winder may be still be engaged after last use. The winder could possibly have been left in winding position causing the bobbin winder to spin but the auto de-clutch mechanism will stop the drive to the need bar shaft - Move bobbin winder unit back fully to the left or rearward to engage sewing mode.
2. On older machines, the clutch in the hand wheel may have been left out of gear after bobbin winding - check clutch and if necessary re-tighten the small thumb screw in the center of the hand wheel.
3. On some electronic machines if the pull down buttonhole lever was not lowered when machine was placed in buttonhole mode, for safety the machine will not operate - Lower buttonhole lever to the correct position.
4. Presser foot maybe in up position, a lot of modern machines will not work until the presser foot is lowered - check and lower foot.
I have two different sewing machines and one if them is a Singer. This machine is not that hard to use and when winding a bobbin it is straight forward. You normally just wind the thread around the bobbin and sit it on the spindle. Now push it over so that the rubbher will hold the bobbin in place and start to the winding process. No matter if you are sewing or not you should be able to push the foot peddal and get the machine to move up and down without any thread in the machine or in the bobbin holder.
