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?

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.

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.

the error is cause by the sensor that detected it in the first place ..what you should do is reset it to the factory setting s...Look in the main menu for reset to factory settings or defaults..and engage them ..
