Hey, I went to the dealer this afternoon and they didn't even pretend not to know that the Janome foot pedals have issues! So this is an issue with the foot pedals themselves. I'm getting a free replacement, no problems there, but what if the same thing happens again?
Some here suggested to make sure the pedal doesn't have lint or something stuck in it or butts against something under the table. Both isn't the case, the pedal is clean and there's nothing under the table that it could touch. But the dealer's reaction proves to me that this issue is known to Janome. What a shame that they don't take care of that.
Thank you for all your input, this forum is just the greatest!
