Bleed the system by running water without the unit on, You have an air
lock, open the drain cocks and allow water to run slowly for 2 minutes,
then close everything and try it
if this keeps happening repeatedly it sounds like you need a new seal kit put in it can be done easily enough by you or you can get a shop to do it , if you live in a cold winter climate be sure to winterize the washer every year or keep it somewhere where it wont freeze
This may not be a motor problem. It sounds like your pump is not working properly and the motor is just following the pump. First thing to do is check for leaks in the pump, wand hose, gun etc. It may also be a blown water seal inside the pump.
Before you start it up:
1. Disconnect the high pressure hose
2. Connect the water supply and turn on
3. Make sure water is flowing through the pump
Start the motor, run for about 10 seconds and then turn off.
Turn off the water supply, connect the high pressure hose, turn water back on, start the motor and away you go.
The solution is very simple. All you have to do is change the spill valve.
This because the spill valve is not worth servicing. The actual problem is that the spill valve is leaking from its bottom-part seating. When you close the gun, the spill valve goes down, opens from the underside, and switches the electricity off. When you press the gun, the spill valve returns to normal, and if the underside does not close, you have low presure, because the water keeps circulating.

It will only pick up detergent if you use a low pressure detergent nozzle - or no nozzle at all. It also takes a while for the detergent to get to the nozzle.
