My Janome 10000 is coming up with an error that asks 1. is there some thing jammed in the machine 2. is the needle bent 3. is the material too thick

Then I noticed the hand wheel was very tight. How can I fix this. There is no broken needle, thread, jam or anything. I have taken it apart and cleaned thoroughly0 The hand wheel still wont turn, so I can't us the machine. Any ideas?

SOURCE: Janome 10001

This is a protection mechanism of the machine when it believes there is too much strain on the motor.

Check the hook race/bobbin area...for lint or thread jam....also check the couterweighted cam that drives the needle up & down, as ofter thread will catch and be wound around the shaft near the take up lever.....open the door on the Left (Face Plate) and where the shaft comes through the body is where to look, move the handwheel slowly and watch for threads....remove them gently by unwinding, be patient as they may be well jammed.........DO NOT pull and break them !!

If you are convinced there is nothing jammed & if all appears clear, there are 2 possible scenarios, and I am afraid you are not likely to be too pleased by either of them.........please don't shoot the messenger.

The DC motor is failing, or
The "A" board has problems.

Janome have a 5 year warantee on the Circuit board and will replace it if it fails within this period.

This is a complex and valuable machine and may need the services of a well qualified Janome Trained Service Technician, not just any old hack repairman.

Protect your investment.

Best Wishes and hopes it's just the thread jam.

SOURCE: bobbin thread wont pick up

Be sure needle is inserted correctly with the flat side in the proper position. Rethread the machine and try again. If it still won't work you have a timing problem which requires a technician or a good mechanic.

LO comes up on my 3160 QDC Janome sewing machine.

Check for a thread jam under the needle plate. Wait for the machine to cool after the overload. Your material may be too thick or heavy for the machine.

I hope this helps.

My janome me 10000 keeps giving me a warning message that says is fabric to thick is needle bent is something stuck in machine. I just had a new circuit board put in. Why is this doing this

That is the wierdest error message I've ever seen on a sewing machine. Did you try a brand new needle? Are you sewing thick fabric (does the message appear when sewing light-weight fabric? Remove the bobbin case from the machine and check for thread wrapped somewhere. If you are not able to find an answer on your own, then it's probably best to take it for service.

Janome 10000 - I get a warning message and the machine quits. I've had it to a repair person 4 times

If you've had it in for repair four times, then the technician is not doing a good job. Take it back and insist it be fixed... talk to the manager and relay your dissatisfaction with the service. OR ask for a refund and take it to a reliable Janome technician.

You don't mention the error message, so it is very difficult to try to assist.

10000 janome jamming fly wheel won't turn

I would replace the needle anyway. It's hard to tell if one is bent or not.

Remove your feed dog/needle plate and the bobbin cover. Take out your bobbin and bobbin carrier.

Get out a magnifying glass and really examine. Look for thread ends in between moving parts.

Also check the thread pathways. Especially where the take up lever is hidden. I've heard of some ladies finding threads snarled up in that area which caused problems like this.

Good luck. If all else fails take it in for repair.

Thread is knotting up on bottom of fabric causing it to stop

1.check the needle & see if it's bent--if so replace
2.lay the needle on a flat surface & roll the needle over if it doesn't roll true replace
3.check for blunt needle-if needle makes a popping sound when needle penetrates fabric
4.needle is not all way up in holder
on my mechanical sewing machine sometimes the threads come off the take up lever, that causes the thread to bunch up under something I'm working on
also check thread in bobbin
