Canon 1014 XL-S - Stuck on "END"

[Alexander Boyd]

Hi everyone,

currently experiencing the following problem with my Canon 1014 XL-S: the viewfinder keeps displaying "END", even though the film hasn't been shot all the way through (no "exposed" marks on the film yet). In addition, when pressing the shutter there's only a kind of clicking noise, as if the camera is trying to start to run, but is unable to. I tried swapping cartridges as well as new batteries, to no avail. 

Curious to hear if anyone of you has experienced the same issues and if there's a solution?

Thanks!

Possibly the feeler near the filmgate has been bent.
Otherwise part of the mechanism parts inside are stuck.

Hmm... when this happened on my 814XL-S, it was either because I was shooting in super cold weather or the batteries were low. Fixing those factors made it run smoothly again so I'm not sure what the deal is with yours. Du-All in NYC services them though.
