Think I've sorted problem by removing the capacitor thanks for your replies folks 👍

Can only see one screw to remove,and even then it doesn't come apart 😭😭

We had the same problem had to get another foot from a sewing machine shop

Yes - search on here - look at the most recent question - it's about the same problem.

People talk of removing the capacitor(s) from the foot pedal to solve exactly the problem you have.

Good Luck..., August 2015
