Singer Irons - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

The problem is caused by a level sensor/mercury switch on the PCB under the top cover. Mine did the same. Changed it with a similar part and still going 12 years later. Sorry for such a late reply.

I do not have access to specific circuit diagrams for the ESP2 Singer Steam Press. However, I can provide some general information that may be helpful. The ESP2 Singer Steam Press operates by using an electric heating element to heat a water reservoir, which produces steam to press clothes and fabrics. The electrical circuitry of the steam press includes a power switch, heating element, thermostat, thermal fuse, and indicator lights. The power switch controls the flow of electricity to the steam press, allowing the user to turn it on and off. The heating element heats up the water in the reservoir, producing steam that is released through a pressing plate. The thermostat controls the temperature of the heating element, ensuring that the water is heated to the desired temperature. The thermal fuse acts as a safety device, preventing the steam press from overheating and potentially causing a fire. Finally, the indicator lights inform the user of the steam press's current operating status, such as whether it is heating up or ready to use. If you're experiencing issues with your ESP2 Singer Steam Press, it's recommended that you consult the user manual or contact a qualified technician for assistance. Modifying or repairing electrical equipment without proper knowledge or training can be dangerous and may cause injury or damage to the equipment.

I would think that your water tank in missing a grey rubber bung, which pushes in to a small hole under the water tank.

I'm looking for a solution to why the thread cutter isn't working. It just pulls the thread into a knot and jams the bobbin case. I was hoping for an answer here but the answer had nothing to do with the question!

The only thing available online is the Parts Listhttps://www.manualslib.com/manual/154321/Singer-Msp8.html#product-MSP8The closest is the ESP2 Steam Press.https://www.manualshelf.com/manual/singer/esp2-hd/use-and-care-manual.htmlhttps://www.google.com/search?q=Singer+MSP-8+Manual..

Do NOT oil!!

You need to have the bobbin case replaced. I had mine replaced under warranty.

Here is a link to the instruction manual, if you can do a reset it will be in the manual, if not then it is not an option http://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/1242_9960_esf.pdf

I have this problem too. I have traced the problem to a design fault in the thread path. The thread wares a groove in the casing and snaggs the tread causing it to stretch and break. When it breaks it releases so it took me a long time to locate this problem. I have just contacted Singer and am awaiting their response. (See photo) it is my belief that this problem is responsible for needles snapping and a host of other issues. I hopes this helps. It should be an easy fix, it just requires a metal plate to cover the grooves cut by the thread.

This is a sign that your pedal may need to be repaired or replaced. Cheers, Embroidery Services San Diego, CA

This video talks about this Singer 4423 machine

the small flat spring on the bobbin holder under which you pull the thread is the tension setting for bobbin thread it extremely delicate and just a partial turn of the screw that holds that spring in place has a large influence on the tension mostly problems here are that the needle tension is insufficient and causes the problems

Are you trying to wind the bobbin or just dropping it into the bobbin case and bring up the thread? To wind the bobbin, place the spool on the pin and secure it with the spool pin cap. Pull the thread and pull it through the thread guides. The first guide is accessed by going around it and then pulling the thread under it. Go under the adjacent guide and then wrap the thread counter-clockwise (when facing the front of the machine) under the next guide to bring the thread back to the bobbin winder. Hold the bobbin with the hole up and pull the thread through that hole. Push the bobbin winder shaft to the far left and place the bobbin on the winder pin. Push the bobbin and winder shaft to the right until it clicks. Hold the thread and start the sewing machine. It will automatically stop when the bobbin is full. Move the bobbin winder shaft and bobbin to the left and take the bobbin off. Then cut the thread to separate the bobbin from the spool thread. To put the bobbin into the bobbin case and bring up the thread: Make sure that the needle is in the highest position (use the handwheel). Then open the bobbin cover by pressing the release lever to the right and then lifting up the cover. Hold the bobbin with the hole up so that the bobbin turns counter-clockwise when you pull the thread. Drop the bobbin into the bobbin case. Pull the thread into the slot just to the left of the bottom center (6 o'clock on a 12-hour analog clock), of the bobbin case. Place a finger on top of the bobbin and pull the thread to the left until it stops at the slot between the 7-8 o'clock position. Now pull the thread along the groove in the needle plate to the thread cutter. Replace the clear bobbin cover. The thread should be pulled up by the needle thread without any additional effort. (If it isn't, there may be a problem with the bobbin case or race.) Singer has the manual for the 7469Q on their site: http://www.singerco.com/support/instruction-manuals . The direct link to the manual is http://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/549_7469_efs.pdf . Winding the bobbin is on page 16; threading the bobbin at the bobbin case is on page 18. These pages have good pictures to go with the descriptions. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

cheaper to replace it .. than fix it you might try a descale
