So, I got this Sentro 48 knitting machine a while back. I thought, “Hey, this could be fun! I can whip up scarves and hats in no time!” But boy, was I in for a surprise. This thing started making this awful clicking sound, like it was about to fall apart. It got me so riled up, I nearly chucked it out the window.
I tried a bunch of things to fix it. I messed with the yarn tension, making sure it wasn’t too tight. Some folks online said that could be a problem. Then, I checked the yarn itself. You know, some yarns are just too slippery or too thick for this machine. But nope, that wasn’t it either.
Next, I looked at the needles. I made sure none of them were bent or broken. Everything looked fine there, too. I even took off that sinker plate thingy and moved the needles slowly, one by one. Sometimes, that plate gets a little wonky, and the needles hit it instead of going over it. But mine seemed okay.
I was getting desperate. Then I remembered reading somewhere about using white lithium grease. People said it’s the best for these machines because it’s not too heavy and won’t clog up the gears. So, I greased up all the moving parts I could find. I figured, why not?

- Finally, I greased up all the moving parts.
And guess what? After all that, the clicking got a little better! It’s still there, but not as bad. I guess these machines are just finicky. They’re made of plastic, so they’re not exactly the most durable things in the world. You gotta be patient and treat ’em gently, I suppose. But you can get colorful designs if you insisted.
I’m still learning the ropes with this thing. It’s definitely a learning curve, but I’m not giving up yet. Maybe one day I’ll be a pro at using this Sentro machine. For now, I’ll just keep tinkering and hoping for the best.
The conclusion of the sentro knitting machine
I mean that I haven’t fully fixed it yet, it still clicking. But I think this is a good start for my sharing. I hope you guy can learn something from my experience. It’s not easy to deal with these kind of stuff, but that’s what we could do, keep trying and learning.
