I have checked everything, but my sewing machine thread keeps breaking, what can I do?

"If the upper thread of the machine keeps breaking where the needle enters the fabric, it could be that the needleplate or bobbin case have minor damages in the form of scratches and/or sharp edges. These minor damages can cause the thread to break after a few stitches."

When sewing, the upper thread always breaks and gets stuck somewhere in the upper part. I have already adjusted the tension to all possible settings, but the thread keeps getting stuck and then breaks. If I pull the thread manually, the thread also gets stuck, so I'm sure it comes from the top part, but not exactly where. I have had the machine for a long time, but it has not been used much because it started getting stuck after just a few uses.

As the problem persists after checking everything, I decided to clean it completely, carefully following the rules. But in vain... It's the noise that has clearly improved?. Thinking about solving the problem. I even took the liberty of ordering the necessary accessories (threads, needles) from a haberdashery, but still the same problem.

1. Check if the wire is not too dry and old... this can break its resistance. 2. The voltage must always be between 3 and 4 3. Has the bottom bobbin been tapered/placed correctly. 4. Is your needle correctly placed with the flat side at the back and is it securely fixed straight in its holder? 5. Is your needle new and suitable for the fabric you want to sew? 6. If necessary, remove dust and wires stuck in the internal axles and add 1 drop of oil for a cutter machine.

I have this machine for 40 years, I use it little, but I can't use it anymore. Thread already breaks and he doesn't want to go further, he blocks. Is it still useful to have it repaired or I better buy a new one. I mainly use it to close seams and sometimes attach something to something and then the fabric is sometimes thick.

I am a beginner and I have no idea what happened: I put my legs in my pants and I succeeded in without any obstacles, as soon as I tried to sew the other, first the lower thread did not "participate in sewing" and later began to break up the upper thread. I will add that I did not change anything in the settings. Maybe someone will tell you what to look for, or what to do. The material is also the same.

The upper thread voltage regulator does not work: either the thread runs through without resistance, or it is blocked and tears! I lost the round switch, thought I would find the mistake, but no. And I cannot put the switch out of the individual parts (spring, 2 6-deck screws, a screw part with a hook) !! Where can I find help?
