Any ideas what would cause the machine to shut right off when I turn the water on? The pump starts to spin for a fraction of a second but then the whole machine powers off. t powers right back up again with no errors. I just finished cleaning the tank and replacing hoses. All I'm doing to start the pump is turn the machine on and pressing the "water" button.
 
I know my Brother is very sensitive to power changes and will shut down when a change occurs. I would check to make sure you got the hoses right and it is not trying to push water that can't go anywhere, causing a power spike.
 
Got it working. Thank you. It was power fluctuation related. It is on a rotary phase converter and one leg is higher than the other two. I swapped two of the leads and the motor ran without the whole thing shutting down, but it was turning in the wrong direction. Swapped another two and that did it.
