❤ your videos! Appreciate the time and detail! Not boring at all!

I second this :) I appreciate how in depth you get and even if your video was longer I would still watch all of it because you take it step by step and make it easy to follow.

Please don't skip. You are not boring. You are doing a great job and easy to follow.

Thanks great video I have an E1 error. I opened the machine cleans and oil but I didn’t fixed.

So glad you were able to fix it!

What was the problem?

I'm going to give it a try. The only repair shop in my area wanted $95 to start AND the woman insulted me by saying something like "its such a cheap machine; it's not really worth it ." I guess she has a tree that grows money.

@@rebeccal786 no, she just wanted you to buy a new one from her !

Face masks never worked and only sheep wore them.

So glad I could help!

Great job!

Sorry to hear about your machine, thanks for the nice comment.

I’m

Thanks for your service to the country!

@@SewingMachineRepairGuy Right now we're just doing the masks; my time in the Army was 1978 - 1981 (yes there are people running around unsupervised who are that old!). 🤣🤣🤣

Great job!

@@SewingMachineRepairGuy Me too! Just needed a good oiling of all the moving mechanical parts!

I'm too scared to pull it apart lol

I was able to fix it!! My problem was similar but I have to remove the mother board to get to it. Thanks so much!

Awesome, glad I could help!

Great job!

Thanks for the awesome feedback. You rock! Regular cleaning makes a huge difference.

I just went through this video this weekend to diagnose and find the same problem, mine also had the bushing behind the motherboard stuck, you can do it! Just go slow and take lots of pictures as you are taking things apart, the video really helps.

Take what you can and be thankful. He isnt about to redo it with another camera.

That is awesome! So glad I could be of assistance, even better that you were able to fix it on your own. YOU ROCK!

​@@SewingMachineRepairGuy Ah ah, everything comes easy with the right teacher, ;-) I'm in trouble again though. Actually I've been twice since my original E6 problem. I first had to re-adjust the hook timing, because when it moved when I took the belet off for accessing the bushing; I understand how it happened, and I found another tutorial on how to fix it and dit it, no problem until there. But then I assembled back my machine for the 3rd time....the 2 first problems seem fixed for good (busking is fixed/no more E6 message, and the hook do catch the thread again), but now as soon as I try to hit the foot control, I get an E1 error message, and the machine never starts. I've read a lot of things on this problem on the web, watched videos that seem to solve most of the E1 people's problem (like this one for instance : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aqiDkrV5q7LPdIk.html), but it is not working for me. The metal piece the guy on the video is talking about seems to work correctly in case case, it's not stuck, when the foot is down the metal piece do go to the right (and it can't go "righter", there is the plastic case after that). And when the foot is up, the metal part is perfectly vertically aligned. so for me, the problem doesn't come from the metal part or its mechanism. And I don't think the problem comes from the sensor itself either, because if my understanding is correct and the sensor is indeed the tiny plastic white part, well when the foot is up, this plastic part is indeed "pressed" (pushed back basically), and when the foot is down it's released (it comes back forward to its original position). That's how it's supposed to work, right? If so.....do you have any idea of what the problem could be? I'm really sorry to ask fro this, and in a normal situation I would go to a repair shop, but France is in lock-down for another week at least, and I compelled to this hospital coats volunteering mission (24 coats are due by Monday afternoon), so you're basically my only hope (no pressure, ah ah). Thank you so much in advance for any help you could offer (and if you can't no problem at all of course, you don't owe me anything, ;-)

There is a problem with the foot sensor, re check the connections you had to disconnect, may have swapped something.

@@SewingMachineRepairGuy yeah I've checked that already, and disconnect and reconnect everything (three times). Besides it wouldn't make sense because the problem didn't occur after I disconnected and reconnected the electronics to access the bushing, after the reconnection the engine/sensor were working fine (I did not actually sew because I had the timing problem, but the foot control was and engine were working). Problem only appeared after I fixed the hook timing, while the only part I manipulated for that was the inner belt (and its tension mechanism). Anyway thanks fro confirming that the problem is the sensor, I'll try to unmount the back of the case too to try to handle it manually and see if it changes something. Thanks again anyway for all the rest, Batman Bless Sewing Machine Repair Guy (I don't believe in God)

Next make sure the presser foot is down when you assemble. You can check to see if it is correct by pulling on the upper thread with presser foot up then down, make sure the tension gets easier with the presser foot up. If it doesn't, then you need to take apart and reassemble with presser foot down.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the nice comment!

I played at 1.5x and it was the right speed 👍

Glad I could help!

I have the Xr1355. The manual says the machine never needs oiling. Is that not true?

How much would or should a repair like this normally cost?

Most repair shops won't touch these.

Glad you were able to do it!

Thanks, glad I could help!

My pleasure! I hope it helped you.

They're actually not bad machines, and they are good to learn on. The computerized models are less likely to injure you as well. Like all brands, the lower-end models you find in big box stores will be like this, and sewing stores will carry the higher-end ones. Even brands like Janome do this. These are more common, though, because a good machine can cost upwards and including $8000. I don't have that kind of cash lying around.

Awesome, thank you!
