Sporadic operation of Bernina 290 foot pedal?

The pedal stopped working. Most of the time when I press down I get nothing. Every now and then, it is like it connects suddenly and the sewing machine works fine. I couldn't see any loose connections when I opened the pedal. Any ideas? It clearly still can work - I just need to get it to work all the time. (Bernina 830 model, pedal is a 290)
