Well twice they have ordered parts and gotten them within 4 days, so getting parts is not the problem(wish it was). They did not offer a loner UNTIL this week when I said I sew almost every day and Christmas projects are piling up and how stressed I am about that. THEN he offered a loner--after TWO MONTHS!! Getting angrier by the minute! Can y'all tell?

If it's under warranty let them fix it or replace it.
MY Husq SE started sewing backwards so it's in the shop also. First thing they want you to do is buy an upgrade.
Mine is also 4 yrs old and he couldn't fix after 2 wks and my options were to replace it (upgrade) or fix it which will cost approx 710...circuit bd etc...Let's see upgrade to the compatible machine is a Diamond for 9999 or fix it for 710...GEE...brain teeser...No warranty since I got her via an "Open Stock Sale"...I told him to send her out for the fix. I'll get a 5 yr warranty on new parts.

No way for I spring for an upgrade, they are doing the right thing, FINALLY, in sending it to Pfaff, but in my opinion, they should have done that at least a month ago. If you bought the machine from where it's being worked on, then I definitely think they need to loan you a machine.

I can't blame you for getting mad. Two months is way too long. I would not go for a trade up either. Hope the factory can find the problem and fix it. I would have been asking for a loaner a long time ago. After that length of time I would have been having withdrawal symptoms.

I would just let them ship it off to be fixed. Is it under warranty?

Four years old and not used extensively. I would say you have a lemon. My Janome 6500 is nearly 8 yrs old and i run it hard daily. No problems. It looks like you have possibly two issues your machine and your repair shop. Hope Pfaff will figure and straighten this out for you. I think having to upgrade a four year old machine because it is broke is rediculous.

Anyone have problems with this machine or do I have a lemon? Have not used it excessively.


A perfect example when having the 'spare' in your closet is worth its weight in gold and then some.....

I wouldn't upgrade unless you were thinking of doing that before this happened.

I DO have a spare in the closet but was thinking at the rate they're going with repairing the Pfaff, if I didn't make them think I had no machine, how long would they take? FOREVER said my DH! And no warranty--it ran out 2 yrs. ago. Went today--1 hr away--to pick up loner. There sat my machine waiting to be fedexd to Pfaff(in pieces). Emailed Pfaff company. They sent back saying they had contacted my shop about the problem.

Why are you getting a loner if you have a spare machine?
