Brother CS6000i Sewing Light Replacement

Introducción

If your Brother CS6000i sewing light is flickering, dim, or not working at all, use this guide to replace the old LED light.

Before you begin, inspect the light for any debris or build up on the bulb. If the bulb is dirty, this could cause it to illuminate less. Make sure this is not the case before disassembling the sewing machine.

Step 5 requires you to remove the light wiring from the PSU. A faulty connection beforehand could be the reason for the light not working. Make sure that the faulty connection is not the issue before buying a new part to replace the light system.

Before beginning, make sure the sewing machine is not connected to any power.
