Took it to the dealer and she gave me a new pedal. So I'm not sure it's a lint thing because I didn't have the machine long enough for lint or dust to accummulate. I looked on line and it seems to be a common problem with the Janome. When I mentioned that to the dealer she blew a gasket. I took my new foot pedal and ran!<br />Dottienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-70979110101922763152013-03-31T18:58:40.128-04:002013-03-31T18:58:40.128-04:00On my first machine, the wire in the foot pedal ha...On my first machine, the wire in the foot pedal had broken but was still touching. So when you stepped on the pedal, it was a different speed... The guy took it apart and soddered it back together, no charge. the wire wasn't in the right place, so every time you stepped on the pedal, it was bending the connection....so it broke. There could also be lint in the pedal section. Does need to be cleaned once in a while...and no one ever tells you that!

I have heard that some shops replace them. I think it's something about dust/lint being able to enter the foot but not sure. I'm just crossing my fingers it doesn't happen to mine. I too have tried to open up the foot pedal and gave up! I think there is more screws under the black thing but didn't want to wreck it trying to get it off!Leeannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17148008932005586200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-66918978539706239142013-03-31T15:06:36.953-04:002013-03-31T15:06:36.953-04:00Well done on fixing the machine :-)
