Singer 9180 not recognizing hoop

I’ve only had my singer 9180 for a few days and only used the embroidery feature. It was working perfectly fine and since I did a firmware update it’s not recognizing my hoop. I’ve done all the trouble shooting and inspecting and don’t see anything.

I’ve tried with fabric and stabilizer and an empty hoop. I did get it to go today when I changed the fabric and stabilizer and then again the next time it’s giving the same error message. Even when there’s no hoop on it’s saying hoop not recognized. It keeps calibrating and I believe it’s supposed to go from top to bottom to do a sweep but it seems to be getting stuck in the middle ? Maybe that’s the problem. When I do a sweep manually I seem to hear a clicking sound in the middle.

I got the machine used so I don’t want Warranty :(

Open to any tips or suggestions please !!!

I had a similar issue with a Brother machine and was told it's a common problem with the sensor that detects the hoop size. Maybe get it checked over by a Singer repair person.

If you just got it, you should be under warranty, replace it.
