Kenmore 158.1914 Replacement LED lightbulb

[@PibbleMom297]

Hi James. I had sort of a similar problem on my Kenmore 158-1880 until I figured out (it took me a while 😏) that the little metal shield around the light bulb actually swivels up. Was I ever surprised! Anyway, I was able to properly seat the new LED bulb and all was well. I really like the LEDs, they're inexpensive, provide clear, bright light and don't get as hot as the original bulbs. The 158-14000 that I used as a teenager - long time ago! - got so hot that opening the cover would almost burn my fingers.

Love the intro but do you have a beginners guide with zero experience sewing machine?

How do I replace the bulb on a Kenmore mini ultra?

[@jamesrogers991]

I do not know that machine specifically. On some machines, there is a lever to pull down and this pops the bulb assembly out.

James Rogers it’s the little blue machine, but it’s okay, I took the screw out and there must be another screw somewhere I didn’t want to force so the light is working I just wanted to know how to change it . It is my mother in-laws , I just was making sure it was working and cleaning and oiling and just a miner maintenance for her. ✨❣️

What supplier did you use for the light bulb? I have been waiting for a month for a shop (30 miles away) to get a bulb they've ordered for me.

I bought mine on eBay.

@@jamesrogers991 Do you have a link? What an upgrade!

I bought them on eBay -- standard bright white LED replacements. Get the brightest possible and make sure that you select the correct type (screw in or bayonet).
