I need a new one of these but don’t know what I’m looking at or what to search for
That's multiple components in one package, not just a simple capacitor. Take it to your Bernina service shop and get them to advise whether it's available as a spare part, or there is a newer version which does the same job.
gbj_tester-
& @jellybaby thanks this is useful. It's a Bernina Minimatic 807.
She called a Bernina service shop - this part is called the condensor - they say it's not available. If we took it to them they would rewire it to delete it.I've found this on ebay, does it look suitable?

My partner went to use her sewing machine today and it was totally dead. The fuse was gone so I replace that and when plugged in the motor ran, despite the foot pedal not being pressed, there was an electrical pop and a burning smell. I took the motor cover off and switched it on again and the capacitor started smoking.
So, I need a new one of these but don’t know what I’m looking at or what to search for
