My 1222e is frozen

1222E/SE Has "Stopmatic" and disengages the machine for bobbin winding. You can't use the crank and needle is locked. Place your lifter bar to the horizontal level (work turning while needle is down), this will engage the machine.

I have a Pfaff 7570 machine and recently the presser foot has begun to move in slow motion or needs me to actually push the foot down?

How long since it has been serviced? Sounds to me like it may need some cleaning and oiling.

How can I replace the needle thread tension disc on a Pfaff Expression 2036? It fell off in shipping.

Contact them direct. They should send a technician. It is still under warranty and you fixing it will void that warranty.

Page 24 doesn't show how it is fitted, so must be from the underside or a press fit.

I bought a Pfaff 6122 and it is so clean it looks like it has never been used, however, none of the stitch buttons will do anything. It is quiet and sews straight stitches, but no others. WhY?

On that machine you need to set the “width” knob to 5 or 6, as well as select an appropriate stitch to achieve a zig zag type stitch.

My embroidery unit won't start in pfaff 7560 when hoop is in place

You should not place the hoop into the embroidery unit of the Creative 7560 until you see a prompt "Cover and insert frame 120" (or 80 if using the small hoop) on the LCD display. See https://www.manualslib.com/manual/504999/Pfaff-Creative-7560.html?page=91#manual . This allows the sewing machine to freely test/calibrate the embroidery unit. Other Pfaff machines, for example the Pfaff Creative 3.0, prompt you to remove the hoop and clear the embroidery unit area for it to do this step. (For this information see page 7:3 (75 of the PDF) of the Creative 3.0 manual: http://www.pfaff.com/SiteMedia/PFAFF/Products/Machines/creative-line/creative3_0/Manual/creative_3_0-manual-EN.pdf .)

I hope this helps.

How can I tell what year my Pfaff sewing machine was made?

not sure if this will help you out.PFAFF was founded in Kaiserslautern, Germany in 1862 by instrument maker Georg Michael Pfaff (1823-1893). Pfaff's first machine was handmade, and designed to sew leather in the manufacture of shoes. In 1885, Georg Michael Pfaff opened a sewing machine shop in London. The PFAFF factory was expanded and modernized...

My pfaff 2170 does not recognize my smallest (80mm x 80mm) hoop. It recognizes all my others. I tried powering my machine off, including just unplugging it while the error was displaying.

Do you have the hoop adapter connected to the embroidery unit when you use the 80x80 hoop? This is an accessory that was in the original accessory kit. The small 80 x 80 hoop will not be recognized without it. See page 5:40 (page 138 of the PDF) of the manual for information on the hoop adapter. If the hoop adapter is connected, you should see a prompt to identify the current hoop on the sewing machine screen. The manual is available from Pfaff here: http://www.pfaff.com/SiteMedia/PFAFF/Products/Machines/Support-manuals/creative_2170-manual-EN.pdf?ext=.pdf .

If you do have the adapter in place, please add a comment about any messages on the screen.

I hope this helps.

My Pfaff 1471 lights up,

Were the base plate pugs into the power leads, you should read about 6-18 is ohms. Open and short is a bad transformer.

Also there are fuses, 2-3 right next to the transformer, small blueish and round are the shapes. They go bad often.
