Good day. We have a Pfaff 1473 CD sewing machine which has not been worked on but when wanting to sew today we found it to be "stuck".

Independent repair shops will work on any model, it's the parts they have no control of. The good thing is that we have ebay, where most hard to find parts always pop up. All or 95% of sewing machine stores here in Bay Area Ca. sell and service PFAFF, even vintage metal mechanical models.

So you can turn the wheel manually but the same wheel that turns manually does not turn with the foot pedal. But when you press the foot pedal you hear the motor engage and move / rotate? If so then the motor assembly has a problem on your sewing machine...

Please confirm the scenario I wrote here is in fact what is going on with your machine.

Just reply to my answer here and I can help.

Thanks,
Tim
