Immediate cooling issue

This from a cold start. If I hit eject the arm starts moving. Cables are in and secure. Any thoughts? I emailed hottop, but thought I would check here to see if anybody has experience ce with this. Thanks.

The conductors are solid (not stranded) and DO NOT like to be repeatedly bent. The wire has to take a 90 degree bend on a small radius when it exits the control panel, and if care is not taken the wires are very easily broken. www.EspressoMyEspresso.com Life's too short to drink bad coffee.
