Still the point is that I have read meny people simply removing capacitors and saying it is not needed to replace them.
If they are meant to balance out the energy...isn't modern day electricity delivered in a more evenly balanced fashion? Are they still needed? Are RC cars and other things with similar motors wired with capacitors for noise suppression?
I am only asking questions here to learn so please understand I am not trying to be deliberately argumentative.
Your question is a good one. I didn't like the way this was turning into a Bernina bashing thread, lol. Bernina still warranties these foot controls 30 years later and replaces the faulty capacitor with the thermo regulator at no charge to the consumer. I don't know of many or any sewing machine manufacturers that would do this for their customers. :>
