Bobbin Cover Plate for Kenmore 385 – Plastic (Compatible)

This is a replacement bobbin cover plate listed by our distributor for the Kenmore 385. This is a compatible replacement part rather than a manufacturer-original part.

This list comes from the distributor's listing for this part. If your model is not named, do not assume it fits — check the part you are removing against the specification below, or ask us with your model number before ordering.

What this part does

The bobbin cover plate is the clear or metal slide that covers the drop-in bobbin on a top-loading machine. It keeps the bobbin seated, keeps lint out of the hook and gives the fabric a smooth surface to pass over. It is the most frequently lost and cracked piece on a household machine.

Specifications

How to tell if this is the right one

Cover plates are shaped to the needle-plate opening of specific models. Use the model list; a plate from a different model may be a few millimeters off and will not latch.

Signs you need this part

Cracked, missing, scratched enough to snag fabric, or no longer clicks into place.

Fitting it

Press the release button or slide the plate forward and lift. Fit the new plate rear edge first and press down until it clicks.

Questions about this part

Is this the original Kenmore part?

No — it is a compatible aftermarket part made to fit the models listed. It is not a manufacturer-original part.

Can I sew without the cover plate?

You can, but the bobbin can lift and the fabric can catch on the opening. Replace it.
