How do you open the electronic foot pedal for the Bernina 1630?

The machine goes fast and slow when the pedal is depressed at maximum. The measured resistance also varies up and down. What is the most common cause for this? after undoing the two screws on the foot pedal, how do we proceed to open it?

The foot control function for a motor run condition is variable from 4k ohms to 0 ohms with full depression of the foot control top plate. Heeling back on this control makes a 10k ohms signal for needle down function.
To remove the top cover, peel back the vinyl top covering to expose a single hole above each of the two plastic axle or hinge pins located on each side of the top cover. Insert a pin punch (or other tool)
appropriate in size through the hole, placing the pin end against the hinge pin and pry/pop out the hinge pin. Pull out the hinge pins and remove the cover. Reverse the process to assemble the cover. To insert the barbed vinyl projections on the bottom side of the vinyl top covering, moisten the projections with a little KY jelly and reinsert into the holes in the top plate.

SOURCE: Bernina Activa 135 foot pedal problem

If you can get acess to or borrow another foot pedal to try I would do this first any of the Activa, Artista range fit to try. The fault may not be in the foot pedal but in the main CB of the machine. This can give a fualt of lights on but no motor drive. In this case the board would need replacing by a technician. Hope this may help.

SOURCE: bernina 830, worked fine until today... think it

there is a board inside the foot pedal that goes out sometimes you can check this by flipping the foot pedal upside down and at the top right there is a small hole where you can adjust the speed with a flat head screwdriver but be gentle it breaks easy, if its out you can take it to a bernina dealer and they might have a reapired one or they can send yours off for repair since that part is repair only

SOURCE: foot pedal dead, machine keeps sewing!

Sounds like your foot control is faulty.
I can supply foot controls for 99% of sewing machines.

How do I get the needle to remain in the left position while using the zipper foot on my Bernina 1630

Go to straight stitch in menu then there are small buttons beside the stitch width dial that when depressed will move the needle left or right. It's been a while since I have seen this model. Maybe take a picture of the front and I can assist you more

Machine going too fast

The foot pedal is faulty, the electronic voltage control is not working and only when the contacts are connected physically does the machine receive any power (maximum) It depends on your type of foot pedal whether or not it is repairable

Bernina 1030 starts by itself and runs very slowly some time after parking the needle at the top

This is most likely a fault in the foot control. Normally supplied with this machine is a Type 10 and this can be fixed quite easily but probably not by the machine's owner unless you have some electrical and mechanical experience.

If you have knowledge of and access to a multimeter, you can test it. What working properly, you will find the following:
Pedal released: resistance is infinite (anything around 4k Ohms or less and the machine will run).
Heel pressed: resistance is about 10k Ohms.
Toe steadily pressed from nothing to all the way down: resistance is infinite then after a small depression, jumps to about 4k Ohms steadily decreasing to zero as the pedal reaches all the way down.

Your problem, being at the point where the pedal isn't pressed suggests that there's some contamination in the pedal. It's also possible that you have a type 365 pedal (as used on the 930) and this is more likely to give this kind of trouble due to the use of carbon brushes in this foot pedal.
