Need Help! Bridgeport Explorer I Pneumatic Spindle Brake - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

1997 Bridgeport Explorer I equipped with a DX-32 control.
Alarm message: Spindle Motor Overload
The Spindle Brake is locked in the "ON" position with the air turned "ON". When the air is turned "OFF" the Spindle Brake is released and the spindle turns freely. The Sheffer Brake Cylinder also moves freely with the air turned "OFF". Any suggestions to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Reset the spindle motor overload.
On the right side of the elec cabinet are 2 contactors for spindle forward/reverse and then the overload. May have a blue or red button.
