Hi Rod, As a original owner of an Amaya Turning the machine off and On is NEVER 
a bad idea. As specially when it comes to the color change sensor. If the Color 
Change Index sensor becomes blocked while sewing. It is an excellent first step 
to give the customer the opportunity to fix the issue themselves.  The Amaya 
was designed with enough On Board Diagnostics to re-initialize without damaging 
the machine.

Hi Rachael back to your concern, lift up the black plastic cover and see if the 
Burning Smell becomes more predominant. If so, there is a potential that a chip 
on the motherboard has been overloaded and burned up causing the smell. 
Diagnosing a Burned up Motherboard can be done over the phone until you have 
the ~$1500 for the repair. A new Motherboard can run in the neighborhood of 
$1,100. The Z motor will also need to be replaced (approx $400 XT). Make sure 
your Tech uses the XT Z Motor, Not the BIG RED Z Motor. Your tech will need to 
modify the Casting, which is NOT difficult and takes about 15 minutes. The Big 
Red Z Motor is about $200 more expensive than the XT Motor so it is WELL Worth 
Doing. Cheaper Motor and Newer Design.

Good Luck and please keep in touch....
