The serger foot control behaved for about 2 weeks. Just as I was turning the heel of a preemie-size pair of footed pajamas, it got contrary. I opened the foot control up. That was so easy I asked DH if he'd like for me to take anything else apart. He shuddered. He cleaned it - although I think it's only about 6 mos old and wasn't even dusty. He checked the wires/connections stuff with his ohm meter. All fine. We noticed that there was a wire standing up higher that it should be and was probably rubbing against the 'lid' of the case when it was pressed down. He lowered it and hot dog! It starts and stops. On command. The next trick was to hold the springs in place and put the control back together. I got out my super glue and glued the bottom rims of the springs just a tiny smidge. That worked. Anyhow. We are up and running. I profoundly thank you for your encouragement and help. Polly
