Janome 8080 error code Lo - Janome 8080 Computerized Sewing Machine

Remove the top thread from the machine. ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and rethread from the beginning.

This is a discussion of the Lo error code:

This is usually meant that the bobbin winder is in engaged. This happens on my 8080, so it should also work for the 8048. Not mentioned in the manual. Found it by someone posting on the internet.

Check to see if your bobbin winder is still ingaged. This is the error code for that problem.

means the machine is out of order

usually just turning the machine off for a few minutes & then turn it back on,,I've had to do that myself

It should move a little so the thread has clearence. If the thread is bunching underneath, it usually means the thread's not in the take-up lever or top tension is too loose. If you're needle has hit the bobbin case and created needle marks, the thread can get caught... in which you'd need to replaced the bobbin case.

No but I will be taking it to a Janome authorized repair shop and pay them thanks anyway. G

Try these instructions from the Janome website:

some of the cords are interchangeable and the foot petal are also.

You should always move the handwheel forward. On some machines moving it backwards can throw off the timing. Try reverse and doing a couple of stitches to test.

Hi,

my sister has the janome 8080... it's listed at the Janome web-site as the DC3050..if you go to the (specifications) of that machine it has a manual you can download for free... hope this helps
