Default Pedal problem

I was all set to quilt a quilt this weekend. It was 37*c (99*F) outside so even though it was sunny it was a good excuse to stay inside. I started quilting (stitch the ditch) and the pedal would go for 2 or 5 mins then stop for 10-30 seconds - pedal indicator light went out. Then the pedal indicator would come back on again and I could sew again. So very annoying that I eventually gave up.

I’ve watched a few YouTube’s and I’m guessing I need a new pedal. This one is clean so I don’t think it’s fluff inside but I can’t get it apart to check.

I have a Janome skyline s3 and it’s usually a fabulous, quiet machine. Has anyone had this problem before? Do I need a new pedal?
