What to do if my Brother BE-1201B-AC Sewing Machine does not operate even if the power is turned on?
- A
  Angela GardnerAug 17, 2025
  If your machine isn't operating even when powered on, first ensure the power cord is properly plugged in. Next, check that the connector in the control box is correctly connected, paying attention to the types and colors of the connectors. Finally, inspect fuse F1 or F5 on the power PCB in the control box; if blown, replace it. If the fuse blows again, there may be a fault requiring a check of the wiring or replacement of the control box.

What causes an overtravel error on my Brother BE-1201B-AC Sewing Machine?
- D
  deniserodriguezAug 27, 2025
  An overtravel error can occur if the frame is not within the cap frame area. To resolve this, move the frame within the cap frame area and turn on the power. Also, check if the signal of the X area sensor turns ON and OFF in PORT test mode. If the signal does not change, check the connection from the X cap sensor to the main PCB, referring to the cable connections diagram. If necessary, replace the X cap sensor.

Why does the needle stop position error occur on my Brother BE-1201B-AC Sewing Machine?
- R
  Robert BanksSep 3, 2025
  A needle stop position error can occur if the pulley is manually turned and out of the stop angle; turn the pulley to adjust the needle at the stop position and reset the error. Check the signal of the stop position sensor in the encoder test mode. Refer to the adjustment or cable connection block diagram and check the connection from the needle position detention sensor to the main PCB. If necessary, replace the needle position detection sensor. Also, verify if the main shaft brake solenoid is operating, checking the cable connections from the brake solenoid to the power PCB and from connector P27 of the power PCB to connector P1 of the main PCB.

Why don't all the solenoids of the head operate on my Brother Sewing Machine?
- C
  Cynthia ChapmanSep 9, 2025
  If all solenoids of the head do not operate, refer to the block diagram showing cable connections and check fuse F2 on the power supply PCB. If it is blown, replace it. If the fuse is blown immediately after turning on the power even after replacing the fuse, the 60v circuit is faulty.
