the left side head of the machine opens up to expose the bulb.

Janome 7025 have mislaid manual and can open side of machine to replace...

Hi Claire, did you get a solution to this as my Janome 7025 is doing the same thing.
thanks

• Power off - unplug
  • Allow bulb to cool a few minutes
• Left side of machine
• With small screw driver, carefully Pry off/Remove the cap and the screw. Remove the face plate.
  Keep the 3 parts to replace = Cap, Screw, Face plate
  Push and turn the bulb counterclockwise to remove the bulb.
  Push and turn the bulb clockwise to reinsert new Light bulb
  

Sewing machine Model is Janome 7025

the face plate either has hinges at the back so you gently pull on it to open
or there is a plug with a hidden screw,,carefully use a screw driver to get the plug out & then remove the screw & take off the door & change the bulb

On some sewing machine the door is called Lamp Cover Door & has a hinge at the back of the door,, gently pull toward the back of the machine to open the door & the light bulb should be easy to get to.
Some are called Face Plate-there should be a plug in the middle of the door-remove gently with a small screw driver- there should be a small screw to remove-the door should come off easily--change bulb--replace screw-replace plug

On most sewing machines the light bulb is located inside the faceplate on the left hand side of your machine.

The faceplate is part number 17 in this manual.
One that has been removed, the bulb should be visible. You will need to look at the old bulb to see if it a screw type or a bayonet type, in order to replace it with a new one.
If this is not correct try the Janome website for advice, they have a forum and an ask Jan section for problems etc.

I hope this is helpful to you!

Most sewing machine lamps are located inside the face cover on the left hand side of your machine. It should pull open as it is hinged at the back and clicks into place when you close it. The lamp will be visible to you when you open your machine. It will either need a bayonet or screw type bulb replacement. You will need to look at the broken bulb in order to see what type your machine needs.

If you look at page 4 of this manual, which is similar to your machine, you will see the face cover is part number 11. In the smaller picture below you can make out the hinge on the back of the machine that allows you to open the face cover like a door. Hope this helps!
