Susan1 Report post Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Hi, new to the forum here! I am having some trouble with my Juki. I have had it a few months now and believe the trouble started when the safety lock engaged. I am able to sew, but the machine makes a clicking sound almost like something is loose and rubbing. The clicking sound comes from somewhere by the presser foot and feed dog. When I lift the presser foot, the clicking sound disappears. I adjusted the presser foot tension thinking it was maybe too tight. I re-adjusted the feed dog, thinking it was rubbing something. I changed the needle Could it be the hook, or bobbin casing, or the needle, or the timing? Any thoughts? Thank you Edited July 6, 2018 by Susan1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tejas Report post Posted July 6, 2018 I'm sure somebody who can help will respond soon. Assuming you already have a user manual, attached is the service manual that might be helpful. JUKI_DNU-1541_SERVICE_MANUAL.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susan1 Report post Posted July 6, 2018 Thank you. I do have a service manual, and have gone through a few things, but having trouble figuring out where the exact problem is stemming from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdamPCain Report post Posted July 6, 2018 Are you sure it's not just the check spring on the tensioner? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susan1 Report post Posted July 6, 2018 I think I figured it out. It seems the hook assembly that the bobbin casing sits in, was wiggling a bit. This must have happened after the machine engaged the safety clutch at some point. I pressed the safety clutch again a few times and turned the wheel. The hook assembly clicked back in to place.
