Отлично! Можно было снимать в полной темноте для чертей.
Yo tengo una maquina asi de igualiata pero limpiandola le quite toda la pieza del tensor y asta ahorita no se lo epodido poner cree que pueda ayudarme en aser un video paso a paso con el tensor por favor Dios se lo pague 😢
There's no way I would attempt these repairs! Cleaning and a little oiling, yes. It still sounds terrible. I have 3 Kenmores and none are that loud--it needs a good oiling.
You clearly should not be working on mechanical devices. Not enough sense to check all the bearings and lubrication first. Fortunate you did not burn up the motor.
that's mean, hey, he says its working .. rich people just buy a new plastic one ..
I commend you for your patience, your resolve as well as your humor!😂
I love these Kenmore machines. I have the Ultra STITCH 8 and it works so nice! I bought it at Goodwill for a reasonable price. Has nice decorative stitches and makes the Best Button holes! Keep it oiled and it will do just fine!
Yay you did it 👏👏👏🙏nice job 😬👍
muchísimas gracias mi mamá tiene una máquina Kenmore y tiene el mismo detalle gracias por compartir este video andaba buscando algo así
Ósea los artefacto para hacer ojal u otras cosas
Las piesas q traen
You have to clean the old grease and it happened the same. When the threads get tangled inside
My problem is with the bobbin not refilling properly. The thread ends up uneven.
It still doesn't sound right. Have you tried to loosen the tension on the motor belt? Sounds like it has too much tension.
You are right. Presser Bar (inside the Face Plate) needed oiling too!
My machine is similar it only has 6 stitches all stitches work good but one ,the blind hem it does 3 good stitches then starts to zig zag. Any ideas? Thanks
Thank you so much!!!!!! This saved my machine!!!!!
THANK YOU! I have a Janome SW2018 that I love dearly. I thought I had solved the freeze problem after thoroughly degreasing and re-oiling. It was working fine though a project and after a month of sitting... It was frozen again. No amount of oiling would get that wheel to turn and all the other usual troubleshooting ideas didn't bring a solution. For my model, I covered the motor to shield it from any oil since this sits directly outside of it. I didn't have to remove any of those clips. Mine had a little hole. I fed it oil. Let it sit for a half hour... and now it is running smoother than EVER.
This totally fixed my problem so thank you!!
Thank you! 2 thumbs up.
So nice video
I have used that machine for over 30 years, and think you should also clean and oil under the needle plate, also take off the top and oil the rest of the moving parts, and you will have a much quieter, smoother running machine. Then the motor and belts will run at peak efficiency.
Did anyone else notice that the original lower belt had flip turning the splines to the outside? Most likely needed new belts anyway, because I can only imagine they would flip onlt after being overly stretched.
How many people out there with this machine can spot what he did incorrectly.🤔 The great thing is that the machine will work anyway because of the good engineering.
Muy buen. Explicado...gracias por su video
I have a sewing machine very similar to this and the pulley idler had the same problem with being seized up. The easiest way to remove that pulley is to unscrew it completely. The screw is reversed so right loosens and left tightens. Once it's removed, you can knock the axle free and clean it properly, then reoil it easily. Also, that clip doesn't need to be taken off, because the axle will slide out with it in place. I'm honestly impressed you were able to get the clip off, without first unscrewing the assembly. I'm also impressed you were able to get the plastic back off without removing the stitch length knob. I had to use a long screwdriver to unscrew the screws that held the knob on in order to get mine off. Edit: My sewing machine is a 158.1595281
Where can I find a manual? I have this particular machine there are several problems with it and have no idea how to fix it.
I have same problem.needle part does not move .I will give oil and open it but I am not machinc Thanks.
I think I know your problem. Open the door under the needle part and put some oil. I´ll meke video for this after some days.
Tengo una de. Ese modelo y no puedo acolchar ,no se como hacerlo .
Lots of blueberries 👍🌻🌻
Where can I order the belts?? That's my problem, I think!!! It's slipping....
Thank you so much for posting this video. You have saved the lives of many sewing machines that may have been discarded otherwise. You are a hero. To find this video more readily, might I suggest that you add the sewing machine model number to the title (or is it the headline) for the video? The model number (at least for the one I have that looks exactly the same) is 158.1595 yes, it is completely weird to have a decimal point/dot/period in the model number, but I did not decide the model number--thank Sears for this oddity. Thanks again.
What kind of oil???
Bravo!! I’m not sure I’m brave enough to take my machine apart but you sir have given me hope that my problems are solvable! Thank you for sharing!
You can try anyhow :)
HI. Got same machine with same problem. Thanks a lot. I will try to fix mine. Great video, real people real problem real solution. Greetings from Puerto Rico. Gracias.
NIce Job!
Thank you for taking the time to share this video. Oiling the hand wheel was just what my machine needed. Never been oiled in all theses years. It works like a dream now :-) My total work time was 1 1/2 hours that included viewing video, looking for tools, oil, reviewing a few sections of video a few times, oiling the entire sewing machine and putting it back together. With no help from hubby ;-). Next the washing machine lol. This tutorial saved my machine and me money to not buy a new one. You know what your doing :-)
Thank You so much for this!! Turns out my machine did not need new belts, but that the bottom belt drive had seized from lack of use :) This tutorial was incredibly helpful.
OK stop the video at 1:14 look at the shiny hex head with the screwdriver slot in it it's right above the text on screen bad... simply loosen that move it down and problem solved belt it tightened. Also oil the machine a dry machine turns over harder.😊 Or pause at 1:03 you can clearly see the belt is not worn out it's just loose you can also see how to tighten it....😍
OMg , just got one of these off of facebook marketplace, couldn’t be more happier, only cost me $15 and came down to this video because they said it needed a new belt, I can’t wait to try it 🤗thanks sooo much for this video
thank you so very much for keeping this online :)
Hello! I have this exact machine and cannot find the belt sizes to order. Please help!
12 5/8" Sewing Machine Lug Belt Item# 1258 and Motor Belt 13 7/8", Kenmore #DP40164 Item# DP40164
Mr you just solved my problem I was going crazy watching hundreds of videos I almost threw my machine out the window. God bless you.
Excellent video! Bravo ! Steve/ Ohio/USA
Belts are MUCH easier to remove and replace if you remove the motor from it's mounts and lift it up slightly. Put on the new belts, move the motor back into position and re-attach it to the mounts. Then make sure the belts are not TOO tight, they should have a little "play" in them, I suggest you also go back and re-oil everywhere - top, bottom and needle function assembly - before running it again. You should also clean out the gear box and add fresh grease. The motor is working too hard and it's noisy - it should be much quieter. It sounds as though it's straining.
That little pulley on the end where the belts meet... that 🔩 screw is reverse threaded....lefty tighty... righty loosey. That's where you loosen up to get the lug belts on, then you turn left to tighten. Easy peasy. Taught myself to fix sewing machines years ago. Happy sewing! ☺
That was pretty dramatic!
Should save me a lot of time, thanks.
Thank you for your great video. I had the same problem. Sewing repair/ retail shop here in So. Calif wants $200 to service this old Kenmore same year as yours. At the same time trying to sell me a new machine. said id think about it and left. Very discouraged until I saw your video. I have always oiled top and bottom of my machine but never knew about the side part. I was getting ready to buy new belts, but after following the last part of your video oiled it really well and cleaned around the belts ( I think some of my earlier oiling had gotten on the belts) Its working great. I didn't want to buy a new machine, they are made of cheap plastic, just need one for mending and small projects. Thank you again, Mrs. C
I have a Rossiter? machine, looks practically the same. My belt keeps slipping. A friend gave it the once over and said the belt needed to be tightened, as it had plenty of wear in it. Now seen 3/4's (12.58) of your video. I'm going to guess that your new belts are now too tight, and the noise is coming from your motor under too much tension, and the bottom belt needs to be slackened off, using the large bolt holding the cradle which holds the motor below the base. Best continue to watch what you do.
Omg, whatever you did, it certainly has worked the trick. Was it just dry? It appeared to be working before, just not turning the belt. Do you think the belt needed to be changed?
Oiling is the secret to keeping the machine sewing every time! Without oil it will jam up!
