My Kenmore 19233 sewing machine makes a beeping sound and stops sewing while I am still pressing the pedal. Then it begins sewing again after a second or so. There is no error message on the LCD screen. This happens after I have sewn for awhile when I am just straight sewing. I am having no problems with stitch or tension. The stitches look fine. I just took my machine in for repair at Sears and told them of the problem. They said that this did not occur during servicing. I was wondering if there could be a short in the pedal that could cause this. Since when you take the machine in for repair they don't have you leave the pedal or power cord. Help! the beeping sound is driving me crazy and it happens more frequently when I am sewing for longer periods of time.
Any suggestions?
I had the same problem. Through trial and error, I found the problem was with the thread tension. Usually the thread became wrapped around the spool holder as it was coming off the spool. As you continue to press the pedal, tension is created. When you release the pedal, some slack develop in the threading process and you are able to sew a few more stitches before the beeping starts again.If the thread is caught on the spool holder, simple re-thread the machine.That generally works for me. If it continues to happen, place you thread in a cup behind the machine and thread as usual. You can also purchase an inexpensive thread holder. I made one out of a wood block and other odds and ends found around the house.

SewReady,
Thanks for the solution. That is exactly what was going on. I noticed also that it depends on the type of thread I am using
and the kind of spool design the thread is on. I am going to
experiment with the thread holder and see what works the best so that I can eliminate the beep all the time.
