My machine won't stop sewing sometimes
#13
I would agree with cleaning it first off. They get gummy, dog hair, dust, etc. in them. I am a transcriptionist and I also have to clean my wav pedal out from time to time, and you wouldn't believe what all gets in them. I also agree with keeping it unplugged when not in use. I do that anyway but especially with one that might have a problem. Sorry for your aggravation, I know how annoying it is when your machines don't work just right.

I had this and it was my for pedal, full of lint that caused it, however I switch off and unplug my machines when not using, my machines are computerised and don't want a power surge causing problems.

Mine had been doing that a couple of years ago. I have a Janome 6500. I took the foot pedal in to get checked. They took it apart and cleaned it. About a year ago it was doing it again. And occasionally it would act up and show the icon on the screen of the plug in part that goes into the machine. I took the foot pedal back, he looked at it and sold me a new one for $80. But now it is doing it again. Is this just related to Janome's or does it happen with other machines too?
