Hand wheel very hard to turn. Sews very slow.

I have a Singer 9410.  It has been a great machine.  I bought it about 20 years ago.  I just got it out again and have been sewing on it.  All of a sudden it sews very slow and the hand wheel is very hard to turn.  Do I need to have it oiled and/or cleaned?  Where do I oil it?  I called a shop and they said it should be in your manual.  It tells how to clean it it the manual, but not where to oil it.

    I cleaned out the bobbin case, oiled all the parts.  Now the needle is making a hard popping sound when I turn the hand wheel when the needle goes up.  What is wrong?

SOURCE: My machins slows to a stop

I had the same trouble that you're talking about and it really was just like running out of gas ! I took my machine to a repair shop & "fixed the problem" by getting a diffrent foot pedal. The problem here is , this pedal though it is a singer , went to another model & it makes the most god awful humming noise when at rest. Does anyone know where to get a singer foot pedal Part No.# 362095 ? for a super low price ( ok , how about just a fair or reasonable ?) . this noise is nearly enough to drive me away from my beloved sewing & on many occasions it has! it's not a lack of patience or that I can't take noise (trust me I have 4 children 2 dogs & a husband) it's just the wrong noise ! Anyway , sorry , but the only solution is as far as I know, to get a diffrent pedal (hopefully the one mentioned above for best results)

SOURCE: only sews backwards

On most sewing machines there is a little lever that controls the direction that the fabric is drawn through the machine. The lever on yours must be in the 'reverse' position.

reach around the back of the head and see if it back there.

SOURCE: hand held singer sew quick

Remove the plastic pin holding the bobbin (thread source) - careful to not lose the spring.

You may need a pair of pliers to get it loose the first time.

Press down on the edge of the bobbin so the pliers can grip the pin - lay a piece of material over the pin so the plies do not gouge the plastic - twist and pull.

Singer 9410. Sews fine for several minutes, then slows, then stops. Repairs: replaced the pedal, Air Transducer, & the motor. Any other possible causes or parts I should be looking at? Thanks.

It sounds like a mechanical issue, when the machne starts to slow, stop using the control and try turning the machine by hand. If it is hard to turn, it may be a lubrication issue.

My singer 5050 is sewing slow and hand wheel is hard to turn

Oil your machine only as directed in the owner's manual. If you are having difficulty with your machine, it may be best to take it for service.

I've just bought one. Is it normal that the hand wheel is hard to turn. Does not that put stress on its motor?

hi, if you just bought this machine, my suggestion is to take it back & get another one.
the handwheel is not suppose to be hard to turn when it's brand new.. I've been sewing for over 30 years & I wouldn't keep the machine, I'd take it back & get another that works properly.

I am trying to help a 12 year old girl who's daddy

There's not a website where you can get a free parts list or schematic, but the users manual might help. http://www.singerco.com/accessories/instruction-manuals/search. There are pictures under the insert the bobbin section that show how the bobbin case is inserted in. That may help you. The download of the manual is free at the Singer website.

Once you have it in, try the machine and see how it sews. If it doesn't, well, you know something isn't right. You can purchase different types of manuals and there are general sewing machine schematics online, but this will probably help you more than those will at this point.

Good for you for helping this young lady, and best of luck! I really hope this helps!

Singer 9410 bobbin problems

It should not affect the winding, the reason the needle is still going up and down is because the oil has gone dry on the shaft and unless you can get to the shaft where the balance wheel is then it would be wise to take the machine in for a service, loose stitching on the bottom is a tension problem, make sure the top tension is set about 4 or 5

Squeeky machine

I looked at the basic manual for your machine here: http://www.singerco.com/accessories/manuals.html (type the model number in the manual search box) and it doesn't show exactly where to oil. If you can get a small can of light oil with a fine spout (like 3 in 1 or similar) then just put a tiny drop of oil on each pivot and spindle. You should be able to see where there was once oil before. Use only a tiny amount or it will make a mess.
