If you are seeing an E3 message on your Brother International CS5055PRW sewing machine, it usually indicates a threading issue. Here's what you can do to troubleshoot the problem:

Check the Upper Thread: Ensure that the upper thread is correctly threaded through the machine. Start by raising the presser foot and turn the handwheel towards you to raise the needle to its highest position. Then, follow the threading path indicated on the machine and make sure the thread is securely seated in the tension discs, take-up lever, and needle.
Check the Bobbin: Ensure that the bobbin is inserted correctly in the bobbin case and that the bobbin thread is properly threaded through the machine. Make sure the bobbin is spinning in the correct direction (clockwise or counterclockwise), as specified in the machine's user manual.
Thread Tension: Improper thread tension can cause issues. Check that the upper thread tension dial is set to an appropriate setting for the type of fabric you are using. If it's set too tight, try loosening it slightly.
Remove Thread and Fabric: If you've checked the threading and tension and are still encountering the E3 error, remove the thread and fabric from the machine. Ensure that there are no tangles, knots, or obstructions that could be causing the error.
Clean the Machine: Dust, lint, or debris can interfere with the smooth operation of the machine. Clean the bobbin area, feed dogs, and needle plate with a soft brush or lint-free cloth.
Restart the Machine: After performing the above steps, turn off the sewing machine, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on. This can sometimes help clear any temporary issues.

If the E3 message persists after following these steps, it's recommended to consult the Brother International CS5055PRW user manual for further troubleshooting options. Additionally, you may want to reach out to Brother customer support or a certified Brother service center for further assistance.
