Juki DDL 8700 Lockstitch Sewing Machine doesn't connect the foot pedal to the needle.
Hi,
Since you took the sewing machine apart, i believe that the reconstruction process was missing a step.
You might check that the belt was placed according to the steps in your product instruction manual. It might have been accidentally placed in reverse.
After that I would use those instructions to start double check that you put together your sewing machine properly after your move.
Thank you.
How to fix a frozen Juki serger MO-654de
I am guessing that you do hear the motor running... Not a Juki serger expert but...
Here are 3 things that you can check:
1. I have an ancient mammylok and a more modern semi-industrial singer and both have a housing on the side around the flywheel that can be unscrewed and removed so you can check the belt to see if it snapped, slipped or has just plain loosened. Inside my ancient serger, there are bolts that hold the wheel (which is connected to the flywheel by the belt) turned by the motor which can be loosened and pulled further out to adjust for a loosened belt.
2. On the base of every serger, there is a plate, if you turn it over, which will allow access to the internal mechanism of the machine for a more deep oiling and cleaning, so you can take a look to see how it looks in there.
3. My Bernina 830 Record (yes it is a sewing machine but hear me out), just stopped working one day, I thought it was the foot control, so ordered a new one. It arrived and still no motor...so off came the casing for the motor...I checked connections and made sure all were where they were supposed to be, put it back together and was dreading now having to order a motor, tried the motor again and it suddenly worked. I now have a spare foot control.
My Juki started leaking oil up by the bobbing and won't sew. Lots of oil. Fairly new machine as far as usage goes.
Have you moved your sewing machine lately? I don't know what model your machine is, but I would imagine that you have an oil pan under the machine. If you have too much oil in the pan (there are marks on the pan indicating how full you should fill it), it might do this.
If you have moved it lately and tilted the machine, you may have two problems:
1.If you tilted it towards the bobbin, you might have oil dripping from all those parts and you will need to tilt the machine back and dry all the parts with a soft cloth until the excess is gone.
2. If you tilted it to the right, you may have oil on the belt and it is spinning out on a greasy belt. While your machine is tilted backwards, your belt should be loose and you can dry it will a clean rag. Take a flashlight and look down around your motor where your belt is attached and make sure that the cover over the belt isn't full of oil and contributing to the problem. (Dry it out with your rag also).
Good Luck!
Juki HZL-E61: cannot get tension right on straight stitch
Loops on the bottom of the fabric direct the problem to the top thread. Rethread again and make sure the thread goes through the tension discs. Lift the foot, because this is what opens the discs. When sewing and the foot is down, the discs should be closed and thus giving the upper thread the tension it needs.
Needle position adjusting dial not working
The needle, on the other hand, does not move in either direction, and the dial emits an audible beep beep noise, as if I had moved it too far in either direction . Because of this behavior, it appears as though I have gone beyond the dial's maximum adjustment range.
