Snap! crackle! pop!
Or maybe it was a sputter and fizz with smelly smoke. It all happened so fast!
I am trying to wire up my Pfaff 130. It came with a motor and a lamp, but no foot control and no wires. I have it un-frozen and want to get it wired up. I have tested the motor seperately and it runs. I have tested the lamp and it's good. I purchased a cord and used it on the lamp and all was good so I am pretty sure the cord is fine. That leaves my wiring or the foot controller.
For the wiring. I am attaching to a 3 prong terminal as follows: Motor to 1 and 3, lamp to 2 and 3, foot controller to 1 and 2.
I would like to open the foot controller and see if I can find anything. I am guessing it's the problem. I will look for any scorched spots inside but is there a way to test it? I don't want to try another foot controller and have it do the same thing!
