Bernina Nova 900 air-pressure foot pedal going really fast all of a sudden

I use to be able to control the speed of the sewing machine really well depending on how much I press down on the foot pedal, but all of a sudden, no matter how light I press, the machine goes at full speed. Would this be a problem with the foot? can it be fixed easily? Thanks

SOURCE: I have a Bernina Nova sewing machine, and am

Some Bernina models have a three application switch.

Light, light and power pedal and just the power pedal.

Inside the machine, at the back of the tower is a circuit board. It could be the contact or wire is broken.

SOURCE: mi need 1 foot pedal

The cord and the control are sold separately.

If it is not working > bring the machine and the control to a Bernina shop for them to check, maybe it is the cord, maybe the control.

If you lost it you need to go to a Bernina shop and buy a new control and a new cord.

My Bernina "Record" of 1972 suddenly stitches away without foot pedal command, infact same with pedal unplugged Only way to stop is cut AC power

Something with in your machine seems to be shorting out. Since it is many years old I suspect you have wires that the insuation is rotten and making a short. I have seen this before. Should get it repaired if it's worth it. You could be shocked or hurt.

Bernina nova foot pressure

The presser foot pressure is not adjustable on the 900 Nova and is not necessary with any Bernina models from the 117L through the 1630 series. If the presser foot bar is sticking so that it is sluggish to respond to the needle plate, the presser bar and bushings will need to be cleaned of oil varnishes in order to function properly. (99.9% of the problem)
The other potential problem although unusual, is that the machine frame has been damaged from a drop or impact, causing the presser bar frame bearings to be out of alignment, hence a sticking shaft condition. You do not want to attempt to correct this as you will likely ruin the machine. Suggest contacting a specialist

Bernina nova

Usually the Niva is a model 900 or a Model 1008 is not a nova?
If a model 900 there is a small hole in the bottom of machine that a small screwdriver can be inserted to rotate the speed regulator
I have often had to remove entire electronic board and send it in to BERNINA to have the electronics rebuilt. With
The Bernina 1008 the least expensive way to cure the problem is to purchase a newer style foot control and cord. In Canada about $99

Toyota sewing machine foot pedal unresponsive then goes really fast.
