Sounds like the switches are worn out on your footpedal to me.
They are cheap and easy enough to buy online and not very hard
to replace -- even if you only have modest electrical soldering skills.
Mouser electronics carries them. Catalog/item number: 10PA005
If you plan on continuing to use the EFC footpedal buy a dozen
switches (they're cheaper in bulk) and keep 'em for future need.
These switches just wear out from time to time. The trade-off for
keeping them nice and quiet I suppose was that they're kinda flimsy
compared to some of the durable metal (but loud clicking) sort
they might've otherwise used.

In the mid-18th century, the Maillardet brothers created an
astonishing robot writer-draftsman that could write poetry
and do amazing drawings of ships and buildings. Around the
same time, Jacques de Vaucanson created his infamous
mechanical defecating duck, which could eat, digest and
all the rest. Furthermore, he also created a flute-playing
musician android, which offered 12 tunes it could play
to quite pleasing effect.
