Need parts/manual for old Riccar sewing machine

Here's a manual for the 551, it should be similar enough for your machine.
http://www.riccar.com/ftp/whitepapers/551-Owners-Manual.pdf
If not look on www.riccar.com/help/manuals for a similar model.
Find out what shank your machine is and you should be able to buy parts for it. I find ebay great for old sewing machine parts.
Hope this helps!

I HAVE A 606 MODEL RICCAR AND THE DIALTENSION DOES NOT WORK.I TOOK APART AND I HAVE NO INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO RESEMBLETHE Pieces. I called a repair place and the want$100 IS CRAZY CAN YOU PLEASE ADVISE?

Um, you can try searching for: Make Model parts diagram Otherwise, $100 for a service call on a sewing machine is pretty standard. If you haven't had your machine serviced in quite a while, it may be a good time to bite the bullet and get it cleaned, oiled, and adjusted and also repaired by a professional.

I purchased a riccar 2150L second hand with no information. I have a 10yr old riccar supralite and love it! But the 2150L looks older. I am curious what the age of riccar 2150L vacuum is.

Your m 2150 L is likely 25 to 30 years old. The first Riccar vacuums were made in Japan. Your was likely made in Taiwan. Production of most models was brought to St. James, MO 20 years ago. Filters, bags and some parts are still available from your local Riccar dealer, or from ThatVacGuy.com

Does riccar 2150 have a reset button if so where is it

I'm not sure if that model does but if so it will be on the back of the vacuum in the area of the motor compartment.

How do I bypass the blades on a Riccar RL-343DR serger so I can hem?

Perhaps the manual would be helpful: RICCAR RL343DR Instruction Book Page 14It appears that you need to install a hemming foot.=================It is not easy but it is very similar to stitching a blind hem on a sewing machine--except you will also have to be careful that the knives do not cut the fabric. It can be done, but some practice would be good before trying it on a garment. The skill is stitching on the very edge of the fabric without getting it into the knives. If you were to disable the cutting knives on your serger, you could very easily break a looper or knock the machine out of time because the knives prevent the fabric from extending into the looper action.Here are some videos (more available online):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdwlJmfm...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCMIXOGH...A coverstitch machine would stitch a hem such as what you want, but that's because it does not trim the fabric--it basically is like using a twin needle in a sewing machine.

Riccar vacuum Moon 1 just won't turn on, any ideas?

Check cord, esp at entry point. Otherwise it may be switch, motor windings burnt out, broken wire, carbon brushes worn. Some appliances also have a thermal fuse, which is a silver tube shape.

Screw fell out of Sunburst -- Can't see how to open to replace.

If the screw has no head it may be a stray screw that doesn't belong there. Even if there is a missing screw in your Sunburst it would likely not cause any harm to it.

Where can I buy a presser foot for a riccar model rl343dr this is a overlock machine Thank you

Search for: Make Model parts The basic concern is whether the plug for the control unit fits the plug on your machine. Even generic or other model control units may work on your machine if the plugs are compatible. A sewing machine repair shop may be able to help you. Bring the old control unit with you so they can compare.

Hello, I have a Riccar

The belt should be replaced at least once per year. They lose elasticity and will slip when vacuuming. The brush strips in the brush roll can be replaced. It is well worth having it serviced by a Riccar dealer,. The 8000 series can last many years but any long lasting vacuum will require routine maintenance.
