I take the bottoms of my machines off about once a year. It's Amazing how much lint and debris gets back in there. I've taken my Bernina and my Juki apart, cleaned and oiled. It's a messy job but So satisfying. I only take the bottom off - there aren't any electronics down there to get in the way and that's where most of the dirt is I think. I clean and oil the bobbin area every time I change the bobbin.
