Elna 9000 foot pedal

After I have been sewing, if i leave the machine on and go elsewhere for awhile. The foot pedal doesn't seem to work. I can turn off the machine, turn it on and the lights will work and the needle will adjust but it won't run. If I leave it for a couple of hours, it will usually start though I may have to play with taking the foot pedal cord in and out a few times. Thanks.

    I am wondering if it is possible to take the foot pedal apart and check the wire connections easily

It sounds like you may have a connection problem with the plug on the sewing machine and the foot pedal, it would be a good idea to have them checked.

You only need to replace the cord if it has been damaged. It will cost less if you just take the machine , cord and control to a local technician and have him just replace the foot control. Let him test it first. A generic foot control should cost less than $30.

SOURCE: needle stays stuck whilst motor runs. Elna sewing machine

Its a lovely swiss made machine, this is an electronic motor so the needle pressure should remain constant no matter what speed you sew at. The needle staying down and the squealing sounds more like drive issues inside or possibly gunk buildup.

If it was my machine, I would take it to a qualified Elna technician and ask for him to look at it. These machines are small and well made so well worth spending the money to give it a service and get it back to 1000% IMHO.

Elna 9000 computer sewing machine. How do I set the presser foot to hold material between the foot and feeder dogs.

Check your owner's manual for presser foot pressure adjustment. Yours is probably set too lightly.

My air elecntronic SU, which is thirty years old, doesn't always stop sewing when I take my foot off the air pedal. The machine keeps running until I tap a number of times on the pedal or turn the machine...

This will be the bellows inside the side panel of the machine where your foot pedal air line feeds into rather than the foot pedal. Really short of cutting or sitting on the air line with your chair, not much goes wrong there. It,should be repairable if you can locate a Swiss Elna trained/experienced techician.

My elna 9000 says something like bRe and will not sew. How can I fix this?

I am not sure which machine you are using, but I have an Elna 9000. The only code I have ever seen come up on the screen is "btr" which signifies that the batteires for the electronic memory are running low. My machine will continue to sew, but this code comes up every time I turn the machine on - then the machine sets itself up normally and will sew fine. Plus, changing the batteries cancels all the memorized information on my machine.

I am not sure if this is the same code you are getting. My Elna 9000 manual does not list any other codes for the machine.

Have you taken your machine to a service dealer to have them check it out?
Best of luck. I know it is frustrating when you are in the middle of a project and have to stop to have your machine serviced.

Elna 9000 sews automatically

Most likely this is a problem in the foot control and it will need to be replaced or repaired.
