Pfaff 1171 stops working and then runs again after cooling down for a period of time.

I am looking at buying a used Pfaff 1171 that looks very nice, but it stops working after a little while and has to cool down. Does anyone know if this an easy fix? Thank you. I do not own this machine yet. I want to know if anyone thinks I'm 'buying a pig in a poke' as it were.

I've been sewing for over 30 years and I would not buy a sewing
machine that stops and has to cool down for awhile.

SOURCE: pfaff 1222 frozen 20 mins after I start using it

My mother has had a Pfaff 1222 for 40 years and loves it. Take yours to a new/different repair shop or find an authorized place for an overhaul. It's not a lemon, just poorly maintained. you have a problem the service people just haven't figured out yet.  If you have taken the same machine to the same people with the same problem more than once and they tell you it's a different cause every time, they are not competent. Also check the owner's manual for any tips.

I think I need a power board because my machine keeps stopping. Have to wait to start again. Also my light is broke. I have a 1171 and wondered if parts are still available for that machine. It was my moms...

Hi, ..go for the simple first. It could be motor brushes..the next time the machine stops try turning the handwheel and see if it starts to run again. If it does, the motor brushes are worn down. It would probably be less than a 100.00 to repair it.

Good Luck!
