I have a short arm quilting machine. My motor is getting hot. I can only do 3 rows before I have to stop and let it cool down. I have the information off the motor, just can't find one on google.
Even thought my machine is a Singer 911 comercial the motor is much smaller than the clutch type motor that mounts on a comercial sewing table. It is belt driven and mounted on the back side of the machine. It's a Groschop or Croschop. I couldn't tell what the first letter was. It's a 90 vdc, 1.09 amp, 70 watt, 3500 rpm.
Anyone have any idea where I might find one?
Thanks in advance for any help.
The only thing that creates heat on a sewing machine is friction. Whether it is lint, dust, or whatever, your motor is being forced to work too hard. That is why it gets hot. Please stop using it until you can clean it out or have someone do it for you. Right now you have a very dirty motor, if you keep using it, you will be buying a new motor. Much cheaper to have it cleaned.
