My sewing machine starts sewing without pushing on the pedal. It only stops if you unplug it from the wall or unplug the pedal.

There is an electronic component called a supressor, used to filter interference by your machine to the power in your home which may cause radios & TVs etc to have sound crackle or lines on the image each time you press the pedal........it is not essential to the safe function of the machine, tho' domestic harmony may be strained if others are watching TV at the same time you sew............but it doesn't always cause interference even without the suppressor
You may also have noticed a small amount of smoke and an acrid smell when this component failed.
Generally they are located in the foot control, although some machines bury them inside the main body somewhere near the power inlet.
Ensure machine is unplugged and have a look inside the foot pedal for a rectangular "electronic" looking component with two stout wires.......it will probably be a brown yellow with oozing nasty thick brown gunge.....undo connectors and remove it ....wipe excess nasty stuff off and any associated residue with a fast drying solvent like denatured spirit or metholated spirit.
Now, with the offender removed, re-assemble foot control and you are back in business..............if the component is inside the machine, it will look the same, but the exact location may take some finding......open the base and look near the power inlet for something bearing the former description.
