Had my Kenmore sewing machine thoroughly cleaned. Soon after, it went in reverse & has never moved forward. The reverse button doesn't do any thing. I've taken it apart, to a certain degree, & the reverse button doesn't look like it has anything attached to it to make it want to move any direction. Has something slipped off?
Take it back to the repair person. They may have dislodged something during cleaning.
Hi there.
not sure if this will help you out.
Why won my sewing machine needle move forward ShopYourWay

Kenmore sewing machine will not move forward Google Search
SOURCE: sewing machine stuck on reverse only
The same thing happened to me. I think this machine is just junk!

Look at the feed dogs under the foot see if they are raised high enough to pull the material through.
SOURCE: can't tighten clutch on Kenmore zig zag sewing machine.
The clutch has fallen off the shaft. Remove the very small screw in the clutch release screw to remove the clutch release. Place the clutch(round thing with ears on it) back on the shaft with the center ears pointing towards the outside. Put the clutch release screw back on. Tighten it to make sure it works
properly. Put the small screw back in the clutch release screw and test it again. If it will not tighten or release properly, remove the clutch ,rotate it180 degrees and try it again.This should solve your problem.

Make sure the presser foot is coming all the way down. Check your stitch length setting too.

Check your needle. Make sure it is not blunt, try a Size 90 Topstitch needle or Embroidery needle. If you are using a thread thicker than regular piecing weight, you need a needle with a larger eye and a larger scrarf - the hollowed out bit at the back of the needle. Also don't sew too fast nor change direction too sharply. If you need to do a sharp turn, let the machine "mark time" once at the turn before moving off in the new direction.
