Lost face plate screw where can I order a replacement?

An LED bulb, https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/led-bulb-janome-mc9000-led.aspx , is available for the Elna 6003. To replace the bulb, you need to remove the left side face plate. The screw holding the face-plate is hidden behind a button that matches the face plate. Next pull the socket out. Then pull the bulb out of the socket. Push the new bulb into the socket with the pins aligned with the holes in the socket. Push the socket back into the sewing machine and replace the left-side face plate. For an idea of the procedure, see the manual for the Elna 6001, available at ManualsLib. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/378188/Elna-6001.html?page=53 . This is the maintenance page of this manual.

I hope this helps.

Download your user manual free from Singer and go to Page 66. You might find it useful. Another question -- is the new bulb exactly the same size as the old bulb?

try changing the needle
Correct needle insertion is mandatory for proper use of your sewing machine.
Raise the needle bar to the highest point, then loosen the needle clamp screw to remove the old needle.
Place the new needle in the needle clamp with the flat side of the needle facing the back, (round needle, the groove in the needle should face away from the shaft).
Push the needle all the way up as far as it will go. Then tighten the needle clamp screw.

try rethreading the machine top

the face plate either has hinges at the back so you gently pull on it to open
or there is a plug with a hidden screw,,carefully use a screw driver to get the plug out & then remove the screw & take off the door & change the bulb

Welcome to FixYa! on the list below is the steps to oil your sewing machine.

1. Remove the screw from the top of the Janome face plate with a small flathead screwdriver. The face plate is on the top of the sewing machine directly above the needle.
   

2. Pull the face plate up and away from the sewing machine gently.
   

3. Face the sewing machine as if you were about to start sewing.
   

4. Locate a small cylinder attached to the side of the sewing machine facing you that had been covered by the face plate. Apply one or two drops of oil to the top of this cylinder.
   

5. Locate a small square that is directly above the needle of the machine, also previous hidden by the face plate. Apply one or two drops of oil directly above and below this square.
   

6. Replace the face plate and tighten the screw.
   

7. Open the hook cover of the sewing machine as if you were changing the bobbin. This area is located directly under the needle.
   

8. Remove the bobbin case by grasping the lever on the case and gently pulling the case out from the machine.
   

9. Remove the hook ring and the hook. These two parts are behind the bobbin case and should come out easily.
   

10. Apply one drop of oil to the center of the hole the bobbin was removed from.
    

11. Replace all of the parts you removed from the sewing machine.
    

Good luck

some machines it's called the lamp cover door --these machine have a hinge at the back, carefully pull the door toward the back of the machine & it should open to show the bulb
some machines call it the face plate--there is a hidden screw under a plastic plug, gently pry the plug with a screw driver & then take the screw out, & remove the plate & the bulb should be easy to replace,just put the plate back on after changing the bulb & replace the screw & plug
happy sewing

some call it a lamp cover door or face plate it's on the left side of the sewing machine
some sewing machines have a hinge at the back of the face plate, you can gently pull it open to change the bulb
some machines -in the middle of the face plate there is a plastic plug, use a screw driver to gently lift the plug & then unscrew the screw & change the bulb.put the face plate back on put the srew back in & put the plug back in to concile the screw

the face plate may have been dislodged, check the screw, try taking it off and putting it back on. if it continues, it may be damaged and need to be replaced
