How to oil Bernina 1630 - Bernina Sewing Machines

Some parts are available for the Bernina 1630, https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/bernina-1630-sewing-machine-parts.aspx?index=44 . Compatible presser feet and bobbins are probably available at most vendors. Other parts may be harder to find.

I hope this helps.

Page 78 of the manual. If you need the manual, you can download it free.

You need a Yahoo gmail account. Select Yahoo Groups and find the "BerninaThirtySomethings" group. Request to be added as a member. Once you have access, go into the Files folder and locate the Bernina 1630 manual.

(If I could figure out how to do it, I would attach the manual in Fixya, but unforunately...)

Hm, the 1630's are still mechanical machines with some electronics, right? Could be the mechanics have seized due to old oil solidifying and preventing things from moving like they should. This is the method I've used on completely mechanical Berninas that have seized. (Use caution in not getting oil on the computer components!)

I have a Bernina Virtuosa so not the same machine - but this may help. There is an icon on the front of the machine - it is a needlepoint pointing at a dot in an oval - there are arrow buttons on either side. These move the needle left or right of center and it shows on LED screen. I checked mine just now and if you turn machine off and on it resets to center automatically. Hope this helps - Happy Sewing!!
