Just make sure you make them sew what you were sewing when machine stuck, same fabric, same thread, same needle size, same settings. Otherwise, beware of the corollary to Murphy's law. "It sewed just fine in the shop"
I've had to do that once or twice. I had to re-fix my 1500 after a tech from the Brother shop didn't read the repair manual and realize that the feed dogs had 4 positions. That was thanks to Peggi. |
But a machine once repaired seems to go down hill from what it once was. |

After reading this post, I'm wondering if there is a problem with the parts that are being distributed to repair shops. My advice, if you decide to take it back, is to have them sew with your machine after it is repaired to be sure that it will work after it's second repair.

It also depends on the machine. I buy high end machines and it seems like you can pretty much repair them forever and they just keep working beautifully. There are too many variables to make blanket statements. |
Unplug it. Let it sit a few seconds and plug it back in.

For anyone that owns a Brother PQ1500, I recommend becoming a member of the Brother PQ1500 yahoo group. In addition to the owner's manual, you can also download the SERVICE manual, which is invaluable. It's in the files section of the group. https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/PQ1500/files |

It depends on how old the part was that broke. If the part that broke was 30 years old, then I'd say it had had a good life. If it breaks again, it will be far down the road. It also depends on why the part broke. If it broke because someone was doing something wrong, then it's not a fault in the part.

You are probably right but it doesn't change my way of thinking about a repaired item.
