Bernina 1080 dead
My Bernina is about 15 years old and has been well cared for. It stopped
going so I had an electrician check the power cord and was told it had a broken
wire. My sister managed to find a second hand one from the Christchurch Bernina
shop but when we plugged it in the machine still would not go so I had it
checked by a serviceman who seemed to think the mother board had gone. What I
want to know is can they be repaired or do you have to send to Switzerland for a
replacement and at what cost would it be. I have been told that maybe there is
another board that may go and it would also be costly to repair so I have been
advised to buy another machine. I have the extra feet for this machine and I am
really asking you for your opinion as to what to do for the best. I have found
your site on the computer. Would you be so kind as to give me an opinion on
this matter. I cannot afford to go to an expensive machine again but have had a
little look at a Janome DC 2101.

Could be as simple as a fuse that is blown. Else the power supply of the board has got a faulty electronic component blowing the fuse. Most Bernina dealers won't be able to help you with these repairs. You might be able to find a local electrical technician that can repair it for you. If it can't be repaired, then in the worse case you have to get a new power supply board.
ReplyDeleteCan someone share where I can get a new power supply board? I have the exact same problem as the above user.
ReplyDeleteSounds like my same problem. My machine is a 1080 QE and I purchased new 15 years ago. Today, I was in the middle of sewing and the power just went. I've waited a couple of hours, have made sure all cords are properly connected and now when I turn it back on I hear a noise that sounds sort of like a ticking noise. Any ideas out there. Thanks, Pam in colorado
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process repairing a power supply board for a client. It is a resistor that goes faulty and causes the fuse to blow.
