I have a Janome MC6000 machine. While sewing the balance wheel stalled and then only spun after that. Did I strip gears or break a belt? I can still manually raise and lower the needle.

It does not sound like you have stripped a gear on the machine if you can still lower and raise the needle using the wheel. It sounds more like a connection problem that the wheel is not engaging correctly so that when you supply power to the machine the wheel turns automatically to raise and lower the needle. You may need to take the machine into a repair shop to have it fixed. They may need to open the machine to adjust the wheel and the tension. The belt could also be old and slipping on the machine.
Can the machine be opened and drive belt be replaced without causing issues with the computer
