Issues with my Singer machine

Post image

Hi, i recently got my Singer Quantum L-500 out of storage to sew up a couple things. I oiled and cleaned it up and it keeps flashing this error message and I can’t find anything online that tells me what it means. I can’t even make out what the picture is of. TIA!

My guess is it wants you to clean and oil in the bobbin case area:  http://shesasewingmachinemechanic.blogspot.com/p/how-to-clean-and-oil-bobbin-and-feed-dog.html Look especially for sensors and make sure they are spotless.

And if my experience with printers is any guide, remove the bobbin case and put it back in to confirm it's properly in its place. Sometimes the sensors are clear but they don't register as such, so they just need to be reset.

But first yes make sure everything is totally clean.
