I have an Elna 6003Q sewing machine. My light bulb went out and I need to replace it. How do you get it out and replace it?

Hopefully you have a manual that shows how to replace the bulb. Online Elna manuals have a fee.

Perhaps something here will help:

The owner's manual should have instructions how to replace the bulb, but sometimes that information is not provided. However, this link may be helpful:


Elna quilters dream 6003 apart to replace light

Hi, I'm Julie. Is the model of your Elna machine called Lena? Is your machine an Elna 6003? Is your machine an Elna 6003Q?

Yes, in the middle of the bobbin case there may be a little hole with a wick below it where a drop of oil can be placed. Much of the internals are now self lubricating or designed for the tech to libe during the recommended annual service

removed plastic plug (with a small screw driver,so the plastic plug
does not get damaged) on the side of the face plate
carefully removed screw behind plug--be sure not to strip the screw head

Generally on an Elna there's a little hole on the very top of the sewing machine directly above the bulb.
Pushing a long, skinny stick (like a screwdriver,) down into this hole will push the lightbulb and socket assembly down to where you can actually access the bulb without having to try to skvoosh your fingers into the tiny space.

Something caught inside the machine and jammed the mechanism. It blew a fuse to protect the circuit board. A competent Elna or Janome Dealer should be able to get you machine going in no time.I don't know of any reason to have trouble finding parts for this machine.

I had the same problem and was sewing for quite awhile without my light working. Finally, a friend of mine was over and we did get it replaced. I believe there are a couple of plastic tabs behind the machine, and we pried them off and there was a screw behind them, (I can't remember if there was one or two plastic tabs) when we unscrewed them that popped off the cover and I was able to replace the bulb. I hope that helps, and when I go home I will check it again to see if I missed anything. Good Luck!!
