Pfaff 1475 Needs to ''warm up?''

It takes 45-60 min after I turn on the machine to get the LED lights to come on and be ready to sew. I sew in a room which is ground level, but it doesn't matter the temperature outdoors -- it happens in warm weather too. I took it to the repair shop, but they found nothing wrong with it. Should an electronic machine need to warm up? I'm worried that one day it won't turn on at all. Any help out there?

I had the same problem with my Pfaff 1475CD. If I waited about an hour or so it would come on. I have read here and elsewhere that you should replace the (5) 22 microfarad 16V capacitors on the circuit board. I ordered capacitors from Amazon and did this since I have a little bit of soldering skill. It worked! Machine now turns on normally. Note: you must pay attention to the polarity of the capacitors when replacing them.

Not sure if your model is the creative 1475. The closest I can find at a service website of Pfaff is 1473. Check if this is similar to your model and it shows where the balance wheel goes.

I was able to find a free download of the Instruction Manual for the 1473 if that would be of any assistance:

Not sure if these will have enough information to help with repair but perhaps the 1473 manual will give you an idea whether the information you require is likely to be in the Instruction Manual before you purchase.

My Pfaff 1475 CD stated batterie pile battery when machine is turned on.

turn the machine to "on". Tip the machine on its back and you will see a little door on the left-hand side. Open the door from left to right and inside are two AA batteries. Change the batteries (both batteries go in with the at the top). Close the door, upright the machine, turn it off and turn it on again. The display will be 0 0 2.5. It's now ready to go.
