Maintenance and repairs log — Janome Easy Jeans 1800

Repair, maintenance and installation history for the Janome Easy Jeans 1800. Routine cleaning, oiling and operating instructions remain on the machine page.

Dated reports describe what was known at the time. Check the actual machine before use; a historical report does not establish its present condition. Outstanding checks are collected in Open questions.

The new member image documents the Janome / Easy Jeans badge, mechanical controls and stitch chart labelled 1–18 plus BH. The model/rating plate, serial and controller are not visible. The dated drive-belt repair/return report below remains the source for that service history.

Current photograph — original resolution; the compact current view is displayed on the machine page.

11 October 2026 — Drive-belt fault corrected; machine returned

The room maintainer reported the machine back after a slipped drive belt was corrected.

This return report supersedes the earlier broken/do-not-use notice. If the motor runs but the sewing mechanism does not engage after the normal bobbin-winding checks, stop and report it. Internal belt work belongs with a maintainer or service technician.

28 September 2026 — Broken/do-not-use notice

A broken-machine notice instructed members not to use the machine.

Resolved by the later report: the machine was reported returned on 11 October following correction of the slipped belt; this earlier notice is retained as history.
