Sometimes the sewing machine companies have parts that will work on several models but very often you have to have the exact piece for your machine so be very careful when placing an order to make sure it will fit the exact model of your machine.
I'm not sure if there is a difference in parts for the Phaff 1222 and Phaff 1222E but check it out before ordering.

You can probably call any of these sites and know within minutes if they have the correct part and price.

I do not know if you tried the Pfaff website or if you contacted a local Pfaff dealer:

www.pfaff.com/.../Support

I can almost guarantee that if you ask your question on this website someone will have them or know where to get them.

Sometimes these specialty items can only be found by true collectors.

I believe your machine was made in 1932 so you may also be able to get help from this group but you will have to join. You can join the free membership by following instructions on this page.

Here is another good forum to check out.
Most likely you will only find the genuine screw by someone on one of these sites helping you.

I asked this before, but still don't have the answer I need. I need to find the switch for my sewing machine Pfaff 1222E. I would buy the whole plugging module in order to get my switch, or a cheap machine for parts as long the switch is recoverable.

I found this switch on ebay www.ebay.co.uk/.../203533869828
I think you can only buy this switch there, as I have been looking for it for quite some time and have not found it anywhere else.
The seller seems to be German, it may be difficult for you to translate several sentences from German using a google translator, then it is also written here that Switch Pfaff #70-112000-02 is suitable for 1222E www.amazon.ca/.../B01LF4BC56
Good luck

I have a Pfaff 2140 that has screen issues. When I plug the machine in and power it on the screen will not display anything and will have a rhythmic ticking noise along with a slight flash from screen. I had done some online searching and found that it could be a capacitor issue, upon finding and replacing what I believed to be the bad capacitor I am still having this issue.

If anyone has answers or has fixed this issue before I'd greatly appreciate the help.

If the machine still has an issue it could be due to the motherboard not working correctly. Capacitor issues can cause problems with the motherboard or even the monitor display.

The new electronic sewing machine are a bit more difficult to troubleshoot and repair on your own. You should try and find a repair shop in your area and have this looked at.

I have a Pfaff Quilt Expression 4.0. Just last night it stopped working - the fabric wouldn't feed through and the bobbin thread wasn't catching. After some investigation it appears that the upper thread is getting caught on this little metal arm that is called an "upper thread fetcher". Anyone know why? Or how I can fix it?Upper Thread on Pfaff Catching On the "Thread Fetcher"

 

It seems to otherwise be running normally. When I begin sewing it does grab the bobbin thread, but because the upper thread is catching on this thing it can't advance or feed through and the bobbin thread doesn't come up at all.

The sewing machine isn't able to make any stitches. The needle goes in the fabric, the upper thread goes around the bobbin wheel and gets stuck. I have to cut the thread away from the fabric in order to release it and then remove the bottom plate in order to get to the thread at all.

Can anyone instruct me on how to get to the motor on the Pfaff Tiptronic 1171 sewing machine so I can replace the carbon brushes?

I think it's the foot pedal, but the local repair service says it's not worth repairing and they won't take it apart. I don't know what to do since they are rather pricey to replace.

I believe you need to establish that it is indeed the foot petal that is causing the problem before you invest in a new petal.

I began sewing this morning when it seemed the needle would not lift and was in the bobbin casing. I checked for jammed thread/material, etc. nothing.Praff Creative 7570 Repair - needle not lifting from bobbin case

 

I unscrewed the needle and removed it gently in reverse.
Still I am not able to retract the needle holder, it sounds like it is laboring.

You may have a jammed or broken gear. Try taking off the outer cover and oiling the inside. If that doesnt work you should bring it in for servicing.

A lot of times when this happens the needle gets bent and that is why it got stuck in the first place. You could also have an issue with the way the bobbin is inside the machine or there is something blocking this. By using a screwdriver it is possible to remove the plate under the needle to see if you can clean out the blockage and get it to move again.
