How do i get into xl 2230 in order to replace the o ring on the bobbin winder please

Winding the bobbin:
be sure the thread goes clockwise all around the bobbin tension. It will cross itself before it heads toward the bobbin winder mechanism.

Place the bobbin into the bobbin holder so the thread will unwind counter-clockwise. Push the bobbin down. Pull the thread toward the front of machine (toward you, into the slit and then doubleback to the left through the tunnel and then through the opening.

How to Thread Brother Sewing Machine

thanks i have purchased the washer from brother i just need to know is it safe to take the back off the machine and replace it my self the washer only cost 27 pence , if i take the back off will loads of springs pop out ha ha

i have the same problem ,its the o ring on the inside of the machine on bobbin winder , i purchased the o ring from brother for 27 pence i just need to know if its safe for me to open the machine without lots of springs popping out xx

Please try to would put the some very very small cloth piece onto bobbin. Otherwise you bought the separate bobbin machine.

The bobbin winder has a small rubber tyre...probably damaged or broken and needs replacing

Take off the panel that conceals the lamp (see your instruction manual) and you will see another screw that needs to be removed before you can take the larger back panel off.

For $29 at Hancock, Jo Ann's or Wal Mart you can get a thing called a Side Winder that will wind your bobbins without using the winder on your sewing machine. It has the additional advantage that you can wind while sewing. I use it even with machines that will wind bobbins.

most likely the rubber rings are on the way out. i had the same problem. the part number is xc4076020 and you can purchase on ebay for $7.49 us. easy to replace if you are handy with a screw driver.

Hi, I have the same problem, use a car 'o' ring that should fix it, should cost about

Check the bobbin winder rubber......remove the top cover and take a look. Remove worn rubber and use as a sample when you go to the Brother Store....also have your model number handy. If you cannot access easily, phone Brother store and ask for a quote to replace.....if it is any more serious they should confirm with you prior to doing additional work.
