is it possible to replace bernina capacitor with a generic one?

hello expert, the capacitor on my bernina 830 has burnt out. the part is discontinued, would it be possible to replace it with an equivalent by a professional.

Yes this is possible, did you find the parts?
I have difficulty obtaining the capacitors of the correct value and size to fit within the motor housing.
Did you suceed? what parts did you use and from where?
Good luck

No problem - just make sure that the replacement has the same value in microfarads (uf) and the same working voltage and all will be fine. Observe the polarity!
