Just went to plug in Bernina 430 (not wall , in machine ) and this new noise starts. Can't quite get plug in and checked and double checked !!! Have had machine new since Feb. 2010 and never had this problem !!!! Help please ?! Thank you in advance.

I don't know about the plug not going in, but I once got a phone call from my friend who has a Bernina, she even went to the trouble to hold the phone near her machine so I could hear the noise it was making. It turned out that her bobbin winder catch was engaged, so it was spinning round without a bobbin on it. Just something to check, in case you have accidentally knocked yours.

If it isn't that, I hope you get it sorted soon, at least it's still under guarantee.

#1 unplug the cord from the wall outlet
#2 be sure machine switch is in off position
#3 plug cord into machine
#4 plug cord into wall outlet
#5 turn on machine

If it is still making funny noise, call your dealer/service tech. It could have experienced an electrical serge and lost it's mind.

That happens to me on a daily basis!
Sorry, couldn't resist. :D

rofl --- i can so relate. too bad there is no plug or reset button.

I always plug my machines into a surge protection bar.

hope it is not serious

You all are so kind ! My DH got it plugged in and said to unplug from the surge protector instead of machine from now on ! Also , someone said at tonites meeting they only unplug from machine when they take it to class. So.....I will probably call the dealer tomorrow to see what he has to say ! Thank you all again , I so appreciate your taking time to answer. I did finish my binding and will try to get some pics up of last couple projects.

hm I always unplug mine from the machine. The surge protector is a pain to get to! I wonder if I should stop though...

Someone - wish I could remember who - told me never to unplug from the machine. I can't recall the reason though.

I've had that happen. More than once.
