20 Most Recent Janome Memory Craft 5700 - Page 2 Questions & Answers

It might be your bobbin tension that is wrong. On your bobbin carriage there is a little screech. Probably on the front. Just a 1/4 turn can make a difference. Pull the thread from the bobbin when it is in the carriage and it should be the same tension as your upper tension.

Sounds like a machine that needs a good cleaning. How long since the most recent tuneup (COA)? If more than a year, it's probably time. You can try running the machine full tilt for about 15 minutes with the needle out and no thread -- that sometimes helps machines that have just sat unused for awhile. (Run your machines at least 5 minutes a month, either by sewing on them, or without the needle. Keeps the bearings lubricated)

any number of things could be wrong, the motor could have went out, a hidden fuse could have blown, a part could have broken.

First chose the colour tone to tone or fabric colour thread new thread. Then take a bobbin left hand some 3 or 5 wring bobbin thread for right hand wring opposite side then turn the bobbin take on one big needle or screw driver near the wheel and fill the bobbin.

I know you said you have performed the reset sequence, but try these steps and see if the unit goes through the diagnostics correctly.1

• Turn off your Janome MC8000. Wait for a few seconds.

2

• Press and hold the "Start," "Reverse" and "Auto lock" buttons at the same time.

3

• Release the three buttons once your Janome MC8000 turns on.

4

• Locate the plus (+) sign on the machine screen. Press the plus sign when prompted. Wait till you receive a message that says "Test Complete."

5

• Turn off the Janome MC8000. Wait for a few seconds.

6

• Turn on the Janome MC8000 once again. This will prompt the embroidery machine to conduct a diagnosis. Wait till it finishes the diagnosis and troubleshoots the errors you were encountering before.

On many machines you tilt the machine back on its hinges to see the underside and there you will find a thumbscrew to lower the feed dogs...you also need to be sure that your machine is capable of having its feed dogs lowered...not all machines can do this!

Sounds like a busted belt, either leather or rubber.

Remove the plate and bobbin case, beneath it will be a small round hole in the center. Inside the hole is a fluffy piece of absorbant material called the wick. DO NOT REMOVE IT! Place one drop of sewing machine oil on the wick. While you have the machine opened up, you should remove all the dust. I use the small brush that comes with the machine. Replace the bobbin case and make sure that it is clean too. Replace the plate. Lastly add a couple of drops of sewing machine oil to a q-tip and use it to apply oil to the needle bar above the needle clamp.

If your machine continues to squeek then bring it to a professional sewing machine repair technician and pay for the service to have it professionally cleaned and tune up. It is not worth damaging you machine over a few dollars well spent.

Janome stopped supplying the Back Light for the MC8000 some years ago. An enterprising fellow in Sydney, Australia does have some that he had manufactured especially to replace the Janome version.
