The presser foot lifter of my Singer 9432 has come disconnected from the presser foot. 2 problems. First, I'm trying to take the cover off so I can figure out where the lifter should go, but I can't get the top cover off the machine. I don't see any other screws to unscrew. Second, once I get the cover off, exactly where do I reattach the presser foot lifter to the presser foot? Thanks for any help. The instruction manual gives no help at all, no schematic of inside of the machine.
Had the same problem.
Open the cover where the light bulb is.
Follow the presser foot rod up into the machine.
You will find a metal keeper with a set screw facing the now open end of the machine.
That set screw has most likely come loose.
Since the presser foot is spring loaded to the down position leave the presser foot raising lever in the down position.
With your flat bladed screwdriver, gently push the metal keeper to it's lowest position. If it does not go easy, loosen the metal keeper set screw a bit. Lefty loosey.
Tighten the set screw on the metal keeper. Righty tighty.
Thanks Um Jim, Similar problem on a 9012 - I assumed lifter lever was damaged and was seeking a replacement when I came across your reply. Took off cover, and found the keeper. Although the screw seemed tight, the keeper was right at the top of the foot rod. Followed your instructions and now it works fine.
