singer m1500 — needle not moving

I have replaced the needle, changed the bobbin from plastic to metal, and even rethreaded multiple times. I have also tried different tensions and thread options. None have fixed.

My sister gifted me this sewing machine today, and all of a sudden the needle started to slow down and eventually stopped moving. When I hit the pedal, it sounds like the machine is moving (its making a buzzing sound like the rotor is moving) but the needle itself is not moving.

I have been able to use the bobbin winder, so i know it’s not a pedal problem, however when i move the switch from bobbin winder to needle, it doesn’t work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
