Oops! It's a 99K (not my 15) and the cord to the foot pedal comes directly out of the motor instead of a terminal, so it's not as easy as I'd hoped.
Does the foot pedal or the motor get hot? Is the bobbin winder engaged? Is it making any strange noises? When you have the slideplate off can you wiggle the bobbin holder? Can you move the hook easily? Is the binding in that area?
Also try to get some oil behind the balancer. It is in the head and connects the upper shaft to the needlebar.
