DanishMan Report post Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) Dear Forum A friend of mine has a Durkopp 176 sewing machine. A machine I know nothing about. Se has a problem with the hand wheel. The machine works perfectly well, using the foot pedal, but when turning the hand wheel manually, she can rotate it just a few centimeters before it gets stuck. Any idea og what the problem might be? We do not live in the same city, and I have not had a chance to check the machine for real.

Constabulary Report post Posted March 27, 2022 I would check the hook area for thread bird nests so similar. Service manual is available online - maybe it helps: https://www.duerkopp-adler.com/fileadmin/dag/Media/Downloads/176/S_179_EN.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanishMan Report post Posted March 27, 2022 Hi Volker But when the hand wheel gets stuck she can just touch the foot pedal, and the machine sews. Probably something in the hand wheel. Cheers Danishman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
