My Singer overlocker isn't working anymore. The motor won't work at all. I've tried other foot pedals which work on my sewing machine and it still won't make any noise or whirr. I can turn the machine on and move the needles with the hand wheel but nothing happens when I push the foot pedal. Is it the motor or maybe the foot pedal connector? Thanks!

You do not say if you have just recently used it or if it has not been used in some time and these answers could help answer your question. Also, you do not say how old your machine is or if it could still be under warranty. If fairly new, I would suggest you contact whoever you purchased it from and ask for help.
These are complicated machines and your problems seem more technical that will probably need serger experienced techs to help you.
Not all repair shops have experience with these machines so I would suggest you contact this sewing forum and ask for help as they will know what questions to ask and can guide you through different steps.
If you need to have your machine cleaned or repaired you might contact your local Sears Service center to see if they can help. At least their repairs will be covered for up to 90 days and most repair shops do not do that.

Start with giving your machine a cleaning of build up of threads, fabric, and dust . This build up has a way of shutting down your machine.
There is a great website about overlocker troubleshooting (for Singer sewing machines): www.singermachines.co.uk/
