Sometimes I can switch it on perfectly well but while sewing it goes off again. Please help.
I had the same problem on a Pfaff 1475 CD. Machine not coming "up" until 2nd or 3rd attempt.
The root cause was a defective 22uF electrolytic decoupling capacitor next to the L387A voltage regulator on the main PCB, causing the L387A to constantly reset the CPU. The simplest fix is simply to solder a new 47uF capacitor directly on the wires of the old one. That should keep it going for years.
I got the hint from the L387A datasheet recommending a 100uF decoupling capacitor.
The fix is easy and inexpensive, and I hope this will help anyone with this otherwise great machine.
Hi Mr. Kaur,
I hope you were able to fix your PFAFF 1475 CD machine. If you have't do ne yet and still want to do it, I could help you out. I have the same machine and can fix your mother board or I can provide you with a repaired one if you like.
Message me now either here or contact me via email stelitex at y a h o o d o t c o m.
Hi
. whilst the 1475 is a great machine, it is getting on in years, and unfortunately, you may be experiencing the early stages of 'computer' / pc board failing. A trip to the technician may be you best option. If it is the pc board, sit down before asking the cost to repair it :)
