The famous Japanese brand Janome is famous for its excellent quality. More than 300 models of sewing machines are produced alone. About a hundred countries have active contracts for the supply of Janome sewing machines.

According to this indicator, one can judge the quality of manufactured products. Every day, thousands of machines leave the assembly lines of enterprises, and the stable demand for them confirms the amazing manufacturability and functionality of the devices. In addition to ready-made machines, enterprises also produce spare parts for Janome sewing machines, including even.

Like all Japanese equipment, sewing machines of this brand are very reliable and of high quality in terms of manufacturing. However, breakdowns happen with them. The main reasons for them are negligence in the performance of work and lack of proper care.

Even the best equipment can be rendered unusable if it is not provided with proper operating conditions. Below we will look at typical breakdowns in which it becomes necessary to repair Janome sewing machines.

2 Caring for your Janome sewing machine

Any technique needs maintenance. This fully applies to sewing machines. With constant work, regular preventive maintenance is also required.

If you begin to notice that the machine starts to malfunction, make noise, skip stitches, sew unevenly or give out some other surprises, then this indicates the need for cleaning and subsequent lubrication. It is also possible that the device requires adjustment.

It is often necessary to adjust the degree of thread tension. In machines of this class (like), such an operation can be performed without difficulty.

If work is not expected in the near future, then the machine can be removed for storage. Before this, the Janome sewing machine must be cleaned of dust and lubricated.

Any preventive cleaning and lubrication is accompanied by the removal of the shuttle. After that, with the help of a special brush, all rubbing surfaces are cleaned of lint and fabric residues. Oil is poured into the technological holes. Moving parts are also lubricated.

The places to be lubricated are indicated in the instructions for a specific model. It is advisable to lubricate no more than once a month, since excessive lubrication can contribute to the opposite effect. Any remaining grease must be wiped off with a dry cloth.

After that, the shuttle is installed in place, and the final assembly of the machine. If such work is beyond your power, and in your locality there is a service center for Janome sewing machines or just repairing sewing machines, then you can apply for a service there. Otherwise, such preventive measures will have to be carried out independently.

The sewing machine can only be stored in heated rooms with normal humidity. It is unacceptable to leave it in the basement, garage and other rooms in the absence of heating.

And do not forget, if you are for a sewing machine, then you also need to diagnose it for malfunctions regularly.

The owners of Janome brand sewing machines know firsthand about the excellent quality of this sewing equipment and have personally seen this from their own experience. Although sometimes you still have to make minor repairs to the Janome sewing machine with your own hands, which consists in replacing the needle or adjusting some of the units of the unit for more correct and accurate work. But not a single type of mechanical equipment is insured against wear or complete failure of some spare parts, and even more so equipment with electronic filling.

Needless to say, if there is any breakdown in the Janome sewing machine, the best solution would be to call the master at home or transport the sewing machine to a service center to correctly determine the cause of the breakdown and effectively eliminate it. The subsequent reliability of the functioning of the sewing machine directly depends on the professionally carried out repair and adjustment of the sewing equipment.

Our official service has professionally trained employees and all the necessary modern resources, including tools and original spare parts, to carry out high-quality repairs of Janome sewing machines. A large number of people turned to us for help in repairs and were completely satisfied with the quality of the work performed.

Sufficiently low prices for our services, regardless of the complexity of the breakdown or the model of the Janome sewing machine.

The feasibility of self-repairing a Janome sewing machine directly depends on the complexity of the breakdown, confidence in accurately diagnosing the cause of the problem, and the ability to fix it. For example, if a needle breaks in your sewing machine, then it is quite possible to replace it on your own, but if the sewing equipment becomes unstable or stops turning on at all, in this case it is better not to even try to fix something yourself, because this way you can finally break sewing machine, without the possibility of subsequent recovery.

If, without proper knowledge and skills, you try to fix an unknown problem on your own, then there is a high probability of further aggravating the breakdown that has occurred and making its subsequent repair more difficult and expensive. Only a person with experience and sufficient knowledge is able to diagnose the cause of the problem and professionally eliminate it. By contacting our service center, you will receive high-quality qualified help in repairing Janome sewing machines in the person of our professionally competent craftsmen.

The smooth operation of the sewing machine depends on how correctly and on time the lubrication will be carried out. Certain parts of the machine can be lubricated without resorting to disassembly. But still, some parts cannot be lubricated if it is not disassembled. Before this, the owner needs to understand whether he can independently lubricate. If he is not completely confident in his technical abilities, then it is best to take the machine to a repair shop or call the master at home.

Special screwdrivers and instruction manual. If you have confidence, then you need to read the instructions on how to disassemble the Janome sewing machine. After careful reading, you can gradually proceed to action using the screwdrivers that are included in the package. If they are lost, then you need to find the packing list and find out what screwdrivers are needed. After acquiring them, you can carefully proceed to disassembly.

Special engine oil and operating instructions are a must-have when disassembling the machine. After disassembly, you need to read the part of the manual that deals with lubrication and figure out how to lubricate the Janome sewing machine. If everything is clear, then you can proceed to lubrication according to the illustrations and step-by-step actions. It needs to be produced only with special oil, which should be included. If it is not there or it is over, you need to purchase exactly the same.

It is also worth mentioning how to fill the Janome sewing machine correctly so that you do not have to disassemble it later. It is quite easy if you have instructions and high-quality sewing threads. Self-disassembly of the sewing machine to remove a very tangled thread is quite simple to carry out. To do this, according to the illustrations and tips, the bobbin part is gradually disassembled and assembled in the reverse order.

You also need to know how to set up the Janome sewing machine correctly so as not to overload it in operating mode and not bring it to disassembly and repair. If the machine at some point stops sewing, breaks the thread, and the lubrication does not give any results, you can disassemble the sewing mechanism. But only if the warranty on the machine has expired. Any intervention and disassembly of the mechanism, except for the bobbin part, may void the warranty.

How much the owner likes the disassembly of the equipment depends on how to choose the Janome sewing machine correctly. If the owner is a supporter of self-repair, then he should choose a simpler model, which will be easier to disassemble and assemble. In general, you can disassemble anything on your own. It is quite another thing to collect. Therefore, in case of serious breakdowns, it is better to trust the technique to professionals, and not to experiment.

The sewing machine is the main working tool of the needlewoman. In order for it to serve for a long time and not cause trouble in operation, it is necessary to carry out the procedure for adjustment, cleaning and lubrication in a timely manner. This is usually done according to the supplied instructions, which should always be kept near the instrument. After that, all the details begin to function more smoothly, and the workflow is a pleasure. All the subtleties and nuances of how to lubricate a Janome sewing machine are presented below.

Why grease

If you do not clean and lubricate the sewing machine in a timely manner, it may fail. Namely:

  • details will start to creak;
  • there will be noise
  • the threads will break;
  • the seams will become uneven and tight.

To prevent this from happening, you need to know how and where to properly lubricate the Janome sewing machine.

This is necessary for:

  • long service life;
  • neat stitches;
  • obtaining an easy move;
  • ensuring a soft move;
  • easy settings.

What do you need to work?

To carry out the procedure at home, you will need:

  • 100 g of machine oil for lubrication (available at a specialized or hardware store);
  • medical syringe;
  • a special brush for removing dust and threads (often included);
  • soft cloth to eliminate excess fluid;
  • screwdriver;
  • tweezers;
  • film.

For the lubrication procedure, no other oil other than machine oil can be used! First you need to pre-prepare the sewing machine. For this:

  1. Remove dust from parts of the instrument, including under the platform.
  2. Get rid of dirt in lubrication holes.
  3. From the outside, wipe with a cotton swab soaked in alcohol and vaseline oil.

Important! When the unit has not been used, it must be stored under a hood or cover.

Consider an algorithm for how to lubricate a Janome sewing machine. In operation, you must follow the instruction manual.

Step by step algorithm:

  1. Disconnect the device from the power supply and free from threads.
  2. Spread the oilcloth on the table and put the typewriter there.
  3. Unscrew the screws and remove the plastic housing as instructed. To avoid confusion during assembly, fold them onto signed paper sheets.
  4. Brush the “backbone” to remove all impurities.
  5. Draw oil into the syringe, lubricate all parts and rubbing parts indicated in the attached documentation. Usually there are photographs, so it will not be difficult to figure it out.
  6. Blot excess oil with a tissue.
  7. Assemble the body.
  8. Thread your sewing machine and sew a few stitches to make sure the seam is clean and free of oil marks.
  9. Procedure completed.

Features of the lubrication procedure

A common mistake is to apply as much oil as possible. Actually, it is not. During operation, dust accumulates inside the device, which gets there along with the cloth. For this reason, there may be problems with the advancement of the web. Pollution creates an additional load on the drive of the device. A large amount of oil applied during care contributes to the accumulation of dust, threads, and scraps of fabric. Forming lumps, the mass accumulates in a certain place, which leads to congestion and malfunctions.

I will not go into details of how to adjust and adjust the sewing machine. JANOME. All adjustments are made as on the company's sewing machine. PFAFF Hobby422, if someone is interested in the details, then a complete disassembly, assembly and adjustment of Hobby422 can be viewed in DVD format on two discs.

But back to our JANOME car, front view, see fig. 1. There are two regulators on the sleeve of the machine: the left one (3) is designed to select the program and change the width of the zigzag; right (4) is used to change the stitch length and switch to stretch stitch

To the left of the controls is upper thread tension regulator(2) and on the sleeve of the machine the reverse button (5). The presser foot lift lever (1) is visible at the back.

To start adjusting the machine, you must first remove all body products:

  • front side cover
  • front,
  • side stand cover
  • back,
  • lower.

To remove the back cover, you must first remove the side and bottom, then the front and lastly the back. Figure 2 shows the screw securing the front and rear covers.

Difficulty can only cause the dismantling of the rear cover. In order to remove it, you need to press the machine with the upper part towards you, holding the lower part of the body product, pull it away from you until it comes off the machine body. Next, pull the entire back cover from left to right until it disengages from the presser foot lifter.

Attention.This operation must be done very carefully so as not to break the plastic case. After removing all body products, our machine looks like a top view - fig. 3, front view - fig. 4.

Number 1 marks the feed dog release lever.

What I would like to say in conclusion, the car is of a budget type, works great, easy and intuitive control. The machine from the consumer does not require deep knowledge in setting up and repairing. With a correctly adjusted bobbin case, the consumer only needs to readjust with a thermometer (Upper Thread Tension Regulator). When the thermometer is in the range of 3-5, the machine should sew well.
