Can I replace Kenmore sewing parts with generic parts?

Question

I have kenmore modle #15813400 but no bobbin case or shuttle

Answer 1

You will have to visually match it up first. The more expensive or often replaced the part is, then Sears is notorious to make you have to put an actual Sears part in. Just in case you cannot get another brand here is what your looking for.

Good Luck,  ;-)

Answer 2

It's quite likely you can pick up replacement parts from Sears' parts department (http://www.sears.com) or your local sewing machine repair shop may have them in stock.  Or they can easily order them from a place like Brewer.

Answer 3

Yes.  Just Google Kenmore replacement parts, and you will find several options.  Check reviews to be sure that you aren't being scammed, but I have had great luck with generic replacements.  If the machine is still under warranty, using generic parts may void the warranty, though.
