The Brother XR9550 is very similar to many other machines. They all open the same and have the same basic layout. The differences are with the stiches they create and the bobbin winders, how they are laid out and set up are the same.
In this video I show you how to open, service and repair Brother sewing machines. For more great content like the video and subscribe to the channel.

Thank you and have a blessed day!
Excellent video, thank you for showing step by step details. Appreciate it very much kind sir. Look forward to next video! 👏👏👍
Your Very welcome! Thank you!!
Thank you for your help. I was able to get machine working again!
Thank you! This was THE MOST helpful video I found!
Great video, thank you so much. You saved me a lot of money and time here. 🎉
Thank you for your time in making this video. The most important parts I needed to see while oiling your hands were in the way. Darn it.
The most important parts are the bushings on each shaft, the needle bar and take up lever linkage.
Ça serait super de faire une mise à jour avec une photo et pointant avec le crayon après où sont les places à huiler cachées par votre main, je ne veux pas faire d’erreurs, déjà que ma machine ne coud que de reculons dans le moment et elle est aussi propre que celle-ci. 😊
Great video
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge in your videos. One problem I wish you could show is about problems with sensors. My brother SE625 supposedly has an upper thread sensor that keeps tripping after about 15 stitches and says my upper thread needs to be re-threaded. (Says the same thing if I run it without thread.) Stitches are fine and I've re-threaded about 100 times, changed bobbins & bobbin thread, -even changed the bobbin case. Still getting the error. We're going to try to get into the spring (at #3 threading guide) to see if we can loosen it up because it does feel a little sticky, but is there a sensor there? Can we clean it? I'm hoping just loosening the spring will do the trick. A service guy looked at it and said it's got lint on the sensor and will cost $200 just to clean it. I do keep my machine clean, have had it just a year and haven't sewn that much, but I guess it's possible! Thanks again.
Hi, nice video. Would have been helpful to have you point to the exact places you placed oil. All I saw was the back of your hand. Do you have a staletto? Would serve as a great pointer. Thank you for this demo. I going to check for other demos by you. Thank you. Granny.
thanks for the video highly appreciate it, I copied everything, smoothly doing well but still, I can't fix the needle that keeps hitting the plate
My bobin case is broke, but i cant find your link for the brother xr9550 machine.
I have a Brother CE5500T that is only sewing on reverse. There is no error code, I can change stitch type and it still sewing only on reverse. The reverse button doesn’t seem to be stuck. Would you be able to help me fix this issue on my own? Unplugging the machine is no longer an option to make it work well (it used to work). Thank you!
Love the video. Would you help me how to get the feed dog on the right place as it has been misplaced bcoz of which the fabric is not moving and the stitch is creating a mess maybe while opening the machine i open the screw from the front part and didn’t put it properly, any advice will be helpful.
Thank you. Help me to reassembly my wife's machine.
You are very welcome!
Very good video. What type of grease do you use on modern machines like this Brother?
Is there a maintenance menu on the machine that can be accessed to show a stitch counter?
Great video, thank you. I was wondering what the inside of my machine looked like. It really doesn’t have a frame!
Your very welcome!
Nope all of the Brother and Babylock machines that look similar are made the same way and have no real frame.
Hi Richard thank you for more sewing machine videos. Question would you be able to tell me the size of the bobbin for a Brother XL2610 i have one to repair the lower tension, but no bobbins with the machine. thanks in advance Trevor from Liverpool England.
I have GX37 machine and I want to clean that up. I got all the screws out but its still not opening up
The spring came out of the bobbin area of my XR -7700. How can I put it back in?
I have a brother c e 11 0 0 I'm run away project and I'm looking to find either an image or a video of the call the the speed dogs to see which how it's set up because the parts of it moved so it's not working thank you
My presser foot will not come up? It's a SQ9185. Any suggestions?
How does one get the zig zag cam back in timing?
My machine will not pull material through when sewing, I need to pull material through, is there adjustment on the dogs ?
Hi sir can i ask something how to fix my brother machine gs3700 is not working the problem is stock up
My brother pe 525 is showing Fo5speed sensor.how can it be fixed
I love your video! But when lubricating, your hand was in the way so we can't see where you placed the oil. I think your description was enough but wanted to comment so future videos will be more visible.
I have a artisans 797 ab. I hope this is the right place but I believe it’s my tension it’s the thread is looping on the bottom of the project
Commercial machines are completely different than home machines, timing be very slightly can cause looping but so can many other things.
Damaged needle, damaged hook, improper bobbin case finger position, improper threading, wrong tension adjustment, buildup in between the tension discs and several more things depending on the specific machine.
My feed dogs are not engaging on this machine. Any way I can trouble shoot it myself?
Buen día, gracias por compartir, tengo una pregunta, pues necesito ayuda, tenemos en casa una brother ce8080, tiene el detalle que la aguja roza el cangrejo como si estuviera desalineada la barra aguja, o el cangrejo hacia adelante, pero, al poner el prensatela, choca la aguja al frente como si estuviera muy atrás el prensatela 😥 y no hallo solución o sugerencias en UA-cam, por favor, me podría orientar??, muchas gracias, reciba cordiales desde Aguascalientes México...!!
My fabric got stuck down in the bobbin plate....I tried gently pulling the fabric out...after i got it out now the bobbin is loose and the under stitch is loose ..the machine noisy....what can i do?
My brother 950 stopped moving
I have changed everything still not moving
The Bobbin thread is getting caught under the needle
Can you help Thanks 🙏🏻
Hi how do you fix F1 problem
I have a brother compal cx sewing machine now it is not working. can you help me repair it... pls. Take a video...
The part (XC8799021) that is linked in the article in the description doesn't seem to be the exact replacement for the bobbin winder on the Brother XR9550, the grey "stem" is too short. Thoughts?
That is the part I have personally used on that model of brother, possibly the wrong part was shipped.
My machine needle bar damaged I want to buy needle bar guide
I have a XR9550, Can you tell me what the switch on the back is for? The one with the triangles on both sides.
It’s to lower the feed dog (I think that’s what it’s called) under the sole plate so you can use the freehand embroidery foot
I was trying to figure out how to fix my needle position on this sewing machine. I took off the cover and was attempting to tightens up the screw. Something fell out and now I have no idea what or where it is! So mad at myself, what do I do, I am pretty sure it control the up and down of the thread lever.
Hi. I now place a Kleenex or sheet of paper under the needle area when I work on it. Before I learned this trick, I’ve lost little pieces inside. The only way I got them out was to turn my machine upside down and gently shake it. You might have to shake a couple of times for the piece to fall out. Good luck!
Wow this video really helps to understand, in some parts it was difficult to see because of your hand nevertheless you explained súper clear
As far as the grease and oil you mention is there an specific brand I can find on Amazon?
You are very welcome, ya sorry about the hands thing, I get that a lot, they are good size and hard to see around. sometimes I can't even see what I am doing and have to rely on touch.
I personally use triflow.
here is the oil on Amazon

Awesome I really appreciate your quick reply, at school I had to make some video where the table was visible in all angles so what I did was to put the cellphone in between the two lights that have a base with a broomstick, it was very primitive however effective because people could see sometimes even better than me 😅 maybe that would help you as well
@@alexlopez8922
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I will give it some thought.
My machine brother cs8800PRw not working
I have a brother CE5500PRW and it is sewing loosely on the bottom tedious of the fabric. What can I do to repair the issue?
@@melitpena3314 this video will help you better understand what to do.
ua-cam.com/video/wjZ1jqIL0DA/v-deo.htmlsi=r--09vrgXGL3i0xV
Hello, my Brother ce1100prw machine makes a strange noise on the right side when sewing folded fabric. What could that be?
Without hearing the noise it’s hard to say.
But the motor belt is on the right side, it could be slipping. It is a cogged belt so it would make a popping sound.
What can I do to reset my sewing machine and where is the reset button. My machine won't pick up the bobbin thread to sew.
@@debrachambliss4070
It doesn’t have a reset button
Are thread take up levers supposed to have any play in them? My Brother xl5340 makes a noise & we took off the top end cap. It seems that the thread take up lever is hitting a small metal bar that is under the take up lever and is for the end cap to attach to. I can wiggle the lever without much effort. I found this machine for $15 at Goodwill yesterday & would like to use it for a sewing ministry where some women don't have a machine. I don't know if I should put more money into it or not. I have looked all over but cannot find anything on this. Thank you for any help or direction for answers!
Hello MH,
There should not be any play in the take-up lever at all.
If it is hitting something and moves then it is either broke or out of adjustment and loose.
Follow the movement when you wiggle it and see where the movement stops, that is where the problem is.
It seems to be loose at the screw housing where the lever's front facing part & the back facing part meet at the "y". I will see if my husband can tighten it. If that doesn't work....😊 Thank you so very much for your quick reply! Your information on repairs, etc. is very clear, btw.
@@GrandmaRilla Your very welcome!
That Y is adjustable, if it is still hitting anything after is is tightened then it will probably need to be adjusted for the correct height.
@@sewingmachinetipsandtricks9079 well....I took a few things off & it's actually the back horizontal pin (?) that is loose. It moves forward/backward some, mainly on the right as you face the machine. Also, when I push on the upper part of the thread take up that is the arched part going back (plastic) it places the take up so it doesn't hit. But, I think something is broken, not sure where to find parts (I looked) and probably more expense than the value of the machine. Sigh. I want to take the back off to get a better look but I would probably break something. Hubby says just run it as is...only $15. Thanks for your answers & for listening to my woes. Have a good night!
@@GrandmaRilla
You have a great night as well, sounds like a setscrew maybe loose or missing that holds that pin in place.
You can find parts for that machine here.

There are several parts for the take up assembly on there not sure if you need any or not.
Let me know if I can help with anything else.
I took my bernette deco 500 apart to service it, and my cat decided to knock all the parts with the screws onto the floor. Now I don't know where they go, please I need help
I am sorry to hear that. I can do a consultation to help you get it back together.

J’ai vraiment besoin d’aide avec ma machine Brother CE5500T qui coud que de reculons. S.V.P. Je l’ai ouvert grâce à cette vidéo, nettoyé, elle était aussi propre que celle-ci, mais ce n’est pas suffisant. Le marteau qui fait tourner les dents vont haut, mais ne débarquent pas de la roulette noire.
I use a thick coin as my key to remove metal plate screws lol
How do I change the light it seems dim?
Unfortunately on this machine the light is built in and not designed to be replace
How to set timming in that perticular machine??
It depends on why it is out of time.
Are you sure it’s out of time?
@@sewingmachinetipsandtricks9079 i don't know bt zigzag stiching does not come properly and if i adjust needle hight then get right or left stich proper not from both side
@@sewingmachinetipsandtricks9079 thank you very much for your replay
Oooo please help my feed dogs went down and would not raise to the bed level, what happened and can I fix it ?
Your feed dog drop switch is probably in the down position.
It’s on the back of the machine near the needle plate push it to the up position.
@@sewingmachinetipsandtricks9079 no it’s not unfortunately , as I turn the knob on the side of the machine you can see the dog feed move but nowhere near the base plate
@@sewingmachinetipsandtricks9079ah , sucess, it was the base plate not fitted correctly, I’m lucky I’ve been using my new machine for a year like this, there was a bit of an odd sound but as it was new I didn’t think anything of it.😅 many thanks I’ve just completed my first services thanks to your expert step by step instructions , just putting it all back together now
hELP PLEASE My Brother SE625 will not reverse when I hit the reverse button.
You need to oil a bushing that is located under your sewing machine..
No metal frame. ((
My bobbin tension is way loose. How can I fix this?
That depends on reason that it is loose, have you tested it to ensure it’s loose or is that a guess based on how it is sewing?
I have tested it. When holding upper thread and bobbin thread and lightly tugging on both at the same time bobbin thread extremely loose. Also when sewing in reverse the stitches loop on top and bottom.
My machine is a Brother XR9550. Not crazy about this machine but the price was good.
I put mine back together and now the material wont move. The needle just moves up and down and material does nothing.
did u put the feed dogs down?
Um, never pull on wires to remove a connector! Usually a small screwdriver can be used to separate the plug from socket.
This is a good explanation of parts. But, your fingers are sometimes in the way and I can’t see where you are putting the oil. My Manual says we (buyers) should not oil our machines. ???
The main places the machine needs oil is on the needle bar, and all 4 bushings.
Machines need to be lubricated, there are many fast moving metal on metal parts that need oil.
I make these videos to help people who are unable to take their machines in for what ever reason, or who can not find a competent repair shop in their area, take care of their own machines.
You can take your machine in to a service center to have it serviced and lubricated, you can do it yourself or you can run the machine until it either locks up or burns up.
Sewing machine manufacturers make machines cheap, hard to get into and recommend you do not lubricate the machine so they can make more money by either repairing your machine or selling you a new machine.
It is not limited to sewing machine manufactures, unfortunately we live in a throw away world where we are encouraged to buy new rather than repairing the old.
I have a talent and skill and try to help as many people as possible with it.
@@sewingmachinetipsandtricks9079
I agree with everything you said. We do live in a disposal society. I will try and oil my machine. But, what are bushings??? I’ll look at my manual but I don’t remember seeing that word! Thanks for your work. It is impressive. I too love taking machines apart. But I think I’ll take pictures after every step…
@@honeywell891
Bushings are what hold the upper and lower shafts in place, similar to a bearing.
Here is a video on a locked up machine, an upper and lower bushing is locked up.
Yes the machine is completely different from your brother but they both have bushings in the same general area, this should help you better understand.

I can't afford to have my machine serviced. It would be more economical to buy a whole new machine. Thank you so much for making this video. I figured that if I had the intelligence to construct a garment then I could do this with guidance and I did. Thank you for taking the time to make and post this video!!!
Hey. Thanks for the video. Is opening the machine up like this the only way to fix a situation where my presser foot lever will not stay up? I'm just setting up the machine. Here's what it looks like: ua-cam.com/video/su9lCuDcfeE/v-deo.html
Hello Joy,
It does depend on the problem with the machine but for the most part yes.
If the presser foot will not stay up then the problem is probably inside the machine.
You said you were just setting it up, if it is a new machine it might be better to return it and get another machine.
@@sewingmachinetipsandtricks9079 We bought it a couple years ago, this is just the first time I'm trying to use it.
Have you seen this issue before?
@@TheJoyBinkley
I have not seen it in these machines, but I have in others.
It is usually caused by wear, obviously that is not the problem here, I would guess the oil on the assembly inside has has dried up and keeping the spring that holds pressure on both the presser foot and the lever from properly operating.
Without pressure being applied it would fall.
I would suggest opening it, cleaning and lubricating the mechanism very thoroughly.
@@sewingmachinetipsandtricks9079 thanks :)
