Hearing the sound for a second would be good but this video is still very useful, thank you.

This video was very helpful, thank you. I fixed mine with a belt that went loose upon shipping and now it works! I bought it @ a amazon auction house site for only 94.00 because the person who orig bought it just sent it back.

THANK YOU! I bought two of them and they told me nothing was wrong with them, they are supposed to make noise but I knew that was not a normal noise. So happy to have found this, I will be fixing today. I fixed my other Brother PE400d that froze up on me last night, feeling like I accomplished something! 😍

That is so helpful. Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to make this video. Excellent presentation.

Thank you for this helpful video! I was so frustrated when my machine didn’t work correctly out of the box, and hated thinking that I would have to pack it back up, reship it, and wait and hope to get a better one - and this video showed me that I didn’t have to! My belt had slipped right off the gears, so that pressing the pedal didn’t even move the machine parts, and once I’d put it back on, I was able to follow your instructions for tightening it up, too. You saved me a lot of time and trouble!

So glad I found this! I was able to fix my own serger in about 5 minutes and get back to my project! Thank you

Thank you soooo much! My machine was crazy screechy now it's smooth as butter! Thanks for saving us money too!

I had to comment and say thank you soooo much! I just got the brother DZ1234 serger - immediately the noise sounded absolutely crazy and had me thinking this was the worst decision but once I followed your video it sounds great! you're a life saver :)

You guys are GENIOUS'...I just got my 1034d but was worried that at some point I was going to have the same noise problem as everyone else. Now I'll know exactly what it is & how to fix it thanks to you! Keep your awesome videos coming, I'm always looking forward to new ones!!!

Cannot thank-you enough! Out of the box brand new needing to make my little girl a dress for her birthday....it didn't work!!! I was devastated, out of desperation found your video, my belt was not on at all. Fixed in under 10 mins and ready to go!!! Thank you again :)

My 4 year old machine was making a knocking noise, to which I was sure was the sound of it's own doom. Thanks for the information, I checked the belt and it was barely holding on. A slight tighten and it runs like new again. The sharing of your experience with your machine saved me a ton of trouble. Not all of us can be expertly skilled in machinery, like some of the other lunatics like to yell about in the comments. :P

You guys are so brave.. I don't know if I would have been brave enough to open my machine like that. I've saved this for future reference. *fingers crossed I don't need it anytime soon. Thanks for taking the time out to record it.

Thank you very much I have to do this to my serger

Fabulous video! Thank you so much. I am going to try this tonight.

I just bought one of these. great tip to know just in case. thanks for sharing

thank you! My machine was so loud I couldn't use it at night lol

Thank you sooooo much. Just saved me $100.

Would have liked to hear the noise you had so I would know if mine is the same. Also, at the end, the man in your video commented that Brother is zero help, however, you may appreciate knowing that they are the ones I got your link from ;)). Good video, guys!

Thanks a bunch! Mine is brand new and and it is much louder than my 920d. It feels like it is too tight, but now I will look into it. Brother is absolutely no help. Thanks again.

Thanks for putting the info out there

Thanks so much for helping us all save some money! :)

No problems so far, but if and when it happens, you have answered so many questions, Thank You! Ignore the fools....!

thanks I learned a lot. good to see what's inside. My wheel won't turn at all , so the needles won't go up and down either. any advice on how to fix this?

Aww thanks!! Glad it helped.

shut it Down!!!! this is amazing!! I totally am doing it too. genius.

I just got My serger tried once but it's making a cracking noise like something is breaking inside but it works fine it's so annoying.help please!

What did it sound like though?

Hi! I wasn't able to hear the noise your machine was making, maybe I missed a link or something, but my machine is making a noise, a loud sound like a cat with it's tail caught in the door !...LOL. But I appreciate this video, and will have the hubs look at it over the weekend to see if this remedy will take care of that racket it's making. Thanks again !

No I don't know how to fix the timing...thankfully I haven't had that issue. What do you mean when you say the timing is off?

I COULD KISS YOU. THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!! Machine Saved!!

Do you have any suggestions to fix Timing on 1034D? Timing is off.. great job by the way

Mine isn’t that problem. It’s making a banging noise and something is hitting the top hard

it runs purrfectly now :) fast smooth and no squealing noise!!

I got brother serger 1634D machine what kind of oil did you use in yours I got soul and machine oil but I guess I didn't know if the Brother machine had a different kind we had to use on them

How long did you own it before the noise? Mine is on the way...now I'm scared. My hands are not able to do such things. Think such a repair is covered by Brother?

i put my serger stitch tounge back on and now it makes a clunky noise

thank i us some oil i have here my brother sewing machine old oil but i thank it be ok

My tip for KZfaq videos is to keep the camera still. I thought I was going to puke

my machine screeches but only when i take my foot off the pedal, its only 10 days old, is this a fault?

you must have one hell of a good husband and my husband would never hear my so machine a part he would tell me to take it in and let somebody else look at it but your husband seems to be doing a good job on doing this one

It should be pretty easy to do with the video as a reference. Make sure you pick up your machine by the handle and that should help prevent this problem from happening.

The instructions in this video may make the noise go away, but they are WRONG. I appreciate the intent to help others, Crafty Kraut, but you are steering others incorrectly. Please do not tighten the belt, the slowing of the motor is a screaming sign that you are putting too much stress on it! I found the actual service manual online, and it very clearly says the belt should flex 5-6mm with 500 grams of force (this is fairly light pressure - try pushing on a kitchen scale with the tip of your finger to get a feel for it). It is also important to keep the motor level with the oil pan/bottom of the machine. I took off the right, left and back covers, adjusted the motor position per the service manual's guidance, and then oiled all the moving parts I could see/reach (excluding the motor shaft and belt, which should NOT be oiled). This significantly eased the force necessary to turn the handwheel, took the stress off the motor, and completely fixed the noise. My machine hums like new now, and it took less than 15 min.

When I started using the first time my serger. The asswhole neighbor upstairs started getting annoyed without right because he is the one that bangs the ceiling for many years, hours and hours, day and night, and daily, and I am just using my serger around 10:00pm. I wonder if I put a felt beneath or towel.

Can you send your husband over to England to fix mine!!!!!!!! :)

I have an idea....if you don't like my videos don't watch them!

"It goes slower but it doesn't squeak."??? If he tightened the belt so much that it is pulling on the motor enough to slow it down, be prepared to buy a motor REAL SOON. I hope you guys aren't airplane mechanics, like Vince J. Arcuri here on KZfaq.
