Dear Fixya, My Pfaff 1472 sewing machine does not switch on immediately when you switch it on with the main switch. After a while it will turn on by itself.

It seems to have something to do with the ambient temperature of the sewing machine (the motherboard). Once on you can turn it off and on and the machine will continue to turn on. The machine continues to function well. It appears that there is a component or connection in the electrical circuit that has a temperature problem. If I had a service manual (circuit diagram), I can take measurements and analyze what the problem is. Could you help me with a service manual?

Does yours have batteries like this one. It does, Page 26 of the manual. The machine is computer operated so there has to be a short warm up period. It shouldn't be turn on and off on its own though. I would check the switch operation with a test meter and check all the connections on the motherboard.

Service manuals are hard to come by. This is the only Pfaff I can find.

Cannot raise the feed on my Pfaff ambition essential.

Lowering feed dogs You can lower the feed dogs by moving the switch at the back of the free arm to the left. Move the switch to the right if you wish to raise the feed dogs. Note: The feed dogs will not raise immediately when the lever is switched. Turn the handwheel one full turn or start sewing to re-engage the feed dogs.

Phaff 1472 stitches are bunching up underneath

That is thread nesting or bird nesting. Could be the result of several things, but main reasons are upper tension too loose and the thread not being completely seated in the tension disk.

Pfaff 1472 light on control panel is out. It still sews and I can adjust the stitches. just cant see the nmbers. Is it just a light that needs repalced.

If it is a computer screen, then something is malfunctioning or has failed. Unfortunately, it will most likely require a technician to address the issue.

My Pfaff anniversary edition 1472 presser lever will not fully defend and leaves a gap above the material, it therefore does not sew correctly. I am quite handy. Can i fix this?

If you really are a "do-it-yourselfer" I would suggest getting a service manual for your machine (search the internet - try sewusa.com). The manual will describe what adjustments are available and how to get at them. Note that the covers on most machines are held by screws and hidden catches that have to be pried open.

This is a very common problem with Pfaff machines. The presser system needs oil in the right places. If you are mechanically inclined I can give you step by step instructions how to repair it. An air compressor is very helpful.
