And we don't have the book to refer to. Common sense is not working here, we both have plenty of that, but not in this case. Help.....Jo Ann
Hey JoAnn
I'm at a loss as to how the light would be affecting needle bar in any way. You can find an Owner's manual here:
EDIT!: Argh! I just looked at that manual. It's for an industrial. Seriously! Why do companies use the same model numbers for domestic and inductrial machines!
If memory serves, the plastic grate moves to one side, and tilts downward. You reach in, push and turn the bult a 1/4 turn Counterclockwise, and then remove it. Installation is the reverse of disassembly. I will try to find you an owner's manual.
It will show how to change that bulb. If you were to attach a photo (best to start a new thread) We can take a look see at what's giving you grief.
