Gremlins in my machine
Ten months ago I got a new Janome 8900 machine. I was so excited! A couple of months ago it started to get hot to the left of the presser foot area and had a plastic smell. I took it in to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong with it so I picked it up and used it again. I sewed quite a bit with it and then all of a sudden it started getting hot again in the same place with the same smell. Over the next few days I stitched using different settings and noticed that the only time it happened was when I was using the 1/4" setting so I took it back into the dealer and told him that. I even marked the spots that it got really hot with painters tape. I just received a call from the dealer that they can't find anything wrong with the machine. They said they even called Janome about it. I am going to pick it up today. Very frustrating and it is nearing the end of the warranty for free parts and labor. Has anyone ever had anything like this happen?
