Inspect the push rods that activate the trimmer. they are under the cover plate for the sewing arm. they should be dead straight except where they are shaped to fit in the trimmer.

The XTS came out with the newer style ACAT trimmer. This needs to be kept very clean and also kept well oiled so that the parts can slide freely. If the Selector portion, which is the lower moveable selector/knife, gets dry, binds and causes too much friction or debris is allowed to build anywhere in this system under the needleplate, the pushrods, Greenwing referred to, can be bent/bowed/kinked from not being able to travel their full throw. This would then now allow the Selector to do its job in picking up the top and bobbin thread and cutting it when it retracts under the upper knife.
First things first.....clean and generously lubricate with oil..

It may be that the pushrods that drive the cutter/selector assembly have been bowed or are bent not allowing the assembly to travel its required stroke to be able to pickup the top and bobbin thread. You would have to remove the large lower back plate from the back of the machine and inspect the wire pushrods to see this....
Or....it may be that the cutter/selector module is defective or malfunctioning. If the thread is being picked up but not being cut when the selector retracts, it means only two things...either the module is bad or the pushrod wire(s) are/is bowed or bent and the system is out of adjustment.
If this is happening as much as you have indicated It may be time on this one to contact Melco for a tech support call..... they may decide to replace the module, sorry..
