Replacement pedal for vintage Kenmore - is it OK if amperage is higher on the pedal?
Hi all. I'm posting to ask about amperage for foot pedals: is it OK if the amperage on the foot pedal is higher than the machine?
I have a Kenmore 385.15618 sewing machine with a missing foot pedal (I know it works, we lost the pedal sadly). On the machine, it lists 0.6 amperage, 115-125 Volts as the settings for the machine.
I have been searching on Ebay/Amazon and sadly I can't find an exact match, but I do find pedals that say the can work with some more recent Kemmore 385s. Voltage seems in the approximate range but one lists at 7 amps, another is 3 amps but nothing lower than 3 amps. I am assuming that it is OK if the pedal has higher amperage since the machine will only use what is needed?
Thank you!
