Repairs and Fault Resolution

AE Sewing Machines provides repair services to support the continued operation of industrial sewing machines and equipment supplied by us.

Repairs may be required due to wear, damage, faults, or issues that fall outside of warranty coverage. This article explains how repairs are handled and what to expect.


When a Repair Is Required

A repair may be required if:

  • An issue is not covered under warranty

  • The problem relates to wear parts or consumables

  • The machine has been damaged or misused

  • The equipment has been operated outside its intended purpose

If you are unsure whether an issue is warranty-related or repair-related, our team can provide guidance.


How to Request a Repair

To request a repair, please contact AE Sewing Machines with:

  • Machine model and serial number

  • A clear description of the issue

  • Photos or video where possible

Providing accurate information helps us assess the issue and advise on the most appropriate repair approach.


Repair Assessment and Quotation

Once a repair request is received:

  • The issue will be assessed by our team

  • Where applicable, a repair quotation will be provided

  • Approval may be required before repair work proceeds

Repair costs may include parts, labour, and any associated transport or travel charges.


Repair Methods

Repairs may be carried out:

  • On a back-to-base basis

  • On-site, where agreed in advance

On-site repairs may incur additional charges for travel time and mileage.


Parts Used in Repairs

Where replacement parts are required:

  • Suitable or genuine parts will be supplied

  • Consumable or wear parts are chargeable

  • Parts designed to wear during normal use are not covered under warranty

Using appropriate parts helps ensure reliable operation following repair.


After Repair

Once repair work is completed:

  • The machine should be tested before returning to production

  • Operators should monitor performance during initial use

AE Sewing Machines recommends following maintenance guidance after repairs to support long-term reliability.


Why Following the Repair Process Matters

A structured repair process helps:

  • Reduce downtime

  • Ensure repairs are carried out correctly

  • Avoid repeat faults

  • Maintain safe and reliable operation
