The Circuit Board has a blown Interference Capacitor. The capacitor is about 30mm long and 12mm diameter and has 3 legs for the circuit board mounting. I cannot locate a replacement Circuit Board so I thought I could buy a replacement capacitor. Can someone help me locate the capacitor? Marto

Hi Keepitsimplestupid,
You indicated you are able to help locate a replacement capacitor.
I have tried to locate a circuit board replacement or a replacement interference capacitor with out any luck. Please advise a likely source.

You have to at provide a photo of the board, the mains voltage, I'm assuming.

I'm also assuming that without the cap it should work.

Any numbers at all.

Three leads does suggest an interference capacitor.

Even the physical size helps, but we need something to go on.

Even it;s llocation with respect to line and neutral or line line?

There was a long and winding discussion about capacitors in Pfaff sewing machines here:

Is this a three leg capacitor?

Hello all, This is my first post so here so I'll see how I go. I am after some details on a component that has failed in my wife's sewing machine. The machine is a Pfaff 1222. From what I can still read on the out case, the component has the following markings: ERO 6F F1740-410-307...

Does that help at all?

Helps me to know that these caps were a crappy idea... Same as bringing an old PSU back to life... All these caps just turn into white smoke..
