Bernina 1080 Light Problem
The small work light (behind the needle) of my Bernina 1080 is giving me
fits. The on/off switch does engage properly. As long as I'm holding the switch button in, the lights stays on. When I release the button, the light goes out. I'm been told by a local Bernina dealer that the switch is a known problem. Okay, I'd like to wire the switch out so the light stays on all the time. To do so, I need information on dis-assembling the machine. There are a number of screws on the back but removing them doesn't release the panel.

If it were me, I'd take it to the dealer, but then I am decidedly
mechanically challenged. You might try a search on Google--maybe search groups if no one here knows the answer (altho' they know almost everything!!) Good luck. That must be really annoying.

I agree completely.
The switch and labor shouldn't be too expensive. If you get into the machine, you could damage something else and some parts are VERY expensive. -- Teresa in Colorado The Presser Foot Sewing Machine Sales, Service, Supplies, and More www.thepresserfoot.com -- "Ron Anderson" wrote in message ...

To everyone who expressed a concern for me and the machine, it's
appreciated. However!!! I am an Elec Engr; I am not concerned about harming the machine becuase I've tinkered with this sort of thing before; I'm not trying to take business from my Bernina dealer/servicer. I'm in fact responding to a suggestion from the lady who I would entrust the machine to if I took in for service. All I want to know... is how to remove the back panel of the machine so I can get to the light switch! Thanks. "TerMarL" wrote in message ...

All I want to know... is how to remove
the back panel of the machine so I can get to the light switch! I'm sure you're quite capable, but what Ron Anderson was no doubt warning you of is that doing this yourself will invalidate the warranty on the machine. Ask yourself this question: Is it worth doing that, just to fix this one problem that might very well be covered by warranty, anyway? Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati |

I can solve this one!!!
You turn the switch 90 degrees clockwise to turn the machine on, 180 degrees to turn the light on. Kim "TerMarL" wrote in message ...

Huh? The machine power switch is rotated 90 degrees CW to turn the machine
on and (on the 1080) can't go further. The light is a seperate pushbutton switch on the back. "Kim E" wrote in message om... I can solve this one!!!
