Comment on How to fix a Brother KH930 Knitting Machine with “wont turn on” or “no power” fault by admin

Hi Anita,
The values may differ depending on where you live.
The place I buy them now calls them 47N for 0.047uF and 100nF for 0.1uF.
I would advise replacing both. I have done a few of these repairs now and in each one, they have both been damaged. It may only be a matter of time before the other one decides to fail.
Any electronics store should be able to get them. If you send me your city, state and country (which I will not disclose), I will try to find one close to you. Maybe I should put some kits on eBay
Hope that helps!

Hi Amanda,
I am looking into an HD video camera that can do slow motion so the process can be slowed down. Also, as my mother is the machine knitting guru whose hands you see, I actually watch the videos myself later and try to explain them in my own words (as I know very little about machine knitting) so beginners can follow. I have yet to do this for these videos. Sorry they aren’t clear enough but I am hoping to improve them. Cheers.

The noise is not too bad, maybe just don’t use it at midnight If you use a G-Carriage, personally I think thats a fair bit noisier, and the noise lasts longer as it moves slowly compared to what you can push manually. For some sound absorbtion, have soft things in the room. eg. if you have hardwood floors or tiles, get a rug. Hang some curtains, line the walls with balls of wool

Hi. Just been browsing looking for a knitting machine table and came across this page. Great ideas. I haven’t used my machine for many, many years, so just hope it will work when I get it out. My main worry is that the sound might annoy neighbours – I can’t remember what sort of noise it made but I was ‘detached’ last time I used it.
I have saved the page and will come back again.

You should at the very least explain what you’re doing in the videos as you’re doing it. The video quality isn’t great, especially with the light on such a soft color and I honestly have no idea what you’re doing to cast off in either of the videos.

Great article, thanks.

I found a free kh-910 – free because it won’t turn on. I am looking forward to opening it up and seeing what may be lose or blown. That you have written here will be extremely helpful. It has been a few decades since my radio building days!
