I’ve been searching for how to oil a foot pedal for weeks and this video just made it click. It helped me understand what parts move so I could figure the rest out on my own. Thank you so much❤

Thank you for this video! You just saved me $50 on a new foot pedal. The little white sliding thing had popped off and I didn't know how to put it back on... and then I did! Thanks again!

Bless you for this video!!! My foot peddle broke open with a large spring and I was so confused where it went till I saw this video. You definitely saved me money and time getting someone else to fix this simple task.

The most common trouble of theese pedals is the failure of triac BT136 or BT138. If so, pedal does not regulate the speed of motor, and it starts to rotate at maximal speed on any working position. The triac costs less then 50 cents, so it's very easy to remove it and solder the new part instead of broken one. Also it's easy to improve this pedal. Small carbon resistor R3 is installed instead of trimmer resistor. It sets the minimal rpm value (the initial speed of the motor). If your motor starts to turn too quickly, just increase this resistor (desolder it, measure its resistanse, and solder another resistor twice as much or so instead), or remove it, and solder on its place a trimmer resistor about 1-2.2 MOhm (it could be quite difficult to buy). The bigger its resistance, the less speed the motor runs on first movements of pedal. For example, I had to increase it up to 1 MOhms, and the initial speed of the motor became about 1000 rpm. Maximal rpms remained to be the same, this resistor does not affect it. Of cource one shoud do it on his own risk and must understand what and how to work with such a device. And never open the lid with the plug inserted in mains.

Great comment! Thank you. I'm thinking of using this style pedal for my Thompson walking foot machine but I'm worried that it won't work.

For these electronic foot pedals, does it matter which wire is positive and which is negative if I were to hard-wire it?

Hi Tanks so much for the demo....is the same pedal used with SINGER 6180 machine?, if not, can you kindly show us the foot pedal of the SINGER 6180 machine. Thanks

Yes, the pedal looks like. But you don't need to repair it yourself. This is dangerous, contact a specialist workshop.

Thank you for this video. Can you please advise what lubricant is used on the sliding mechanism? Is it some sort of silicone-based product?

So, desolder everything except the slide pot, mount a stereo audio jack in the hole where a wire comes out with wires going to the pot, and use it as a synth pedal?

Thanks, funny but stupid

@guyteigh3375 Ай бұрын

Yep, can make for a much more durable pedal. If you see an old sewing machine pedal, they can be worth re-purposing - easy to change the pot usually to one you want if the value isn't right.

Thanks ! my machine´s pedal contains only a variable resistance, a track plate, not a rheostat, i mean, it's the simplest thing ever and i guess i might replace it with just a fader, that slider variable resistance component... what i'd like to know is the value it has to be considering it's 220v ( i guess ), thanks !

@sewway 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, 220 volts, your fader will burn like a match. No need to look for other solutions that engineers came up with. Is it dangerous. Better buy a new pedal.

Hi...you could break the fuse when removing it that way. Try a narrower blade screw driver on one of the ends.

There's a fairly good explanation of how these work here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6bIpYKQqK6HgKM The one you have here has a little more filtering (mostly back EMF suppression), but it's fundamentally identical to a dimmer switch. Quite easy to repair actually.
