Help with Carriage Issues

Our Kniterate has started making a rather concerning noise when starting and upon further investigation, we noticed that one of the sensors inside the carriage does not light up. I have attached a video with the sound [1] and a picture [2] where you can see one of the sensors is lit up and the other one is not.

Has this happened to anyone else before? Do you know what could solve this?

Thank you!

  Hi Pia, 

  the first thing you should try is turning the black wheel to enable the sensor as per this video.

  If it still continues with the noise and the sensor doesn't light up you could check the motor's connections as per this other video.

  Please let us know if the issue persists.

  Hi Ariadna,
  
  thank you so much for the quick reply!
  
  Turning the black wheel did solve the lighting up of the sensor, but the noise persisted.
  
  Checking the motor's connections did not solve the issue, but what [we think] helped was turning the wheel in the front of the carriage as per this post. The wheel was inbetween two slots so we think this might have been causing the noise-issue.
  
  The machine is knitting fine now! Thank you for the help :)
