Serger Runs at Full Speed When Turned On?

My serger only runs at full speed from the on/off switch. I have no control with the foot pedal. Do I need to replace the foot pedal? Has anyone had this problem?

Unscrew the bottom of the foot pedal and see if anything is loose or broken. Ill bet you can fix this yourself.

What is make and model number of the serger?
Can you try the foot pedal with another same knid serger to determind if it is really the foot pedal or problem in machine?

Hi,

I think it is the foot pedal and not the machine. I would replace the foot pedal and all should be working fine again. Make sure to unplug the machine when working with the foot pedal.

The foot pedal can be repaired.I repaired quite a few in the last 25 years.

YouTube always has great how to fix videos. If you type in the name of the machine, you should find something for your machine. Post back what you figure out! I hope it was an easy fix!

Here is an explanation on a site I recently saw.

Quote from the website:

"Electrical sewing machines have a component inside the motor of the machine called a capacitor. This helps eliminate electrical noise from the motor and prevents the electrical noise from going back into your homes electrical grid. When capacitors age they can split open and leak electrolytical fluid, which renders them faulty.

Once this happens, the motor of the machine will at times start running by itself. The best course of action for when this happens is to take it in to get it looked at by a qualified sewing machine technician."
