Poor quality bread -- overcooked, under-risen bricks

Have a Kenwood BM 260 breadmaker which made acceptable wholemeal loaves (not brilliant) for about 18 months, but now makes bricks -- overcooked and under-risen. Has also started making odd mixing noises during the cooking part of the cycle. Also the kneader has always sticks in the loaf, and never stays in the tin. Any ideas?

Here's the manual...you may want to review how you are making your bread (have you recently changed any of the ingredients?):

Hi, You can definitely make white bread in your machine. Just google for bread machine recipes and I'm sure you will find something. I actually went to a second hand book store and found a cool recipe book. I use this one more than the recipe book that came with my machine. Hank

Kenwood BM450 breadmaker when kneading trips the home fuse

Hi Capt,
What all fails when your breadmaker blows the fuse.
The breadmaker is a miniature oven and if your circuit is already to the max and then the BM put it over the edge.
Now I am not saying you don't have defective unit but try to make bread in another socket in the stove. If it blows that fuse, you have a defective BM
These units are a throw away item

My wholemeal loaves rise too high and stick to the roof of the lid. i sm using white and whole meal flour and the water seems to be the correct heat. please can you tell me why this is as any other loaf i...

I don't have this model breadmaker, but if your loafs are raising too high, you should either reduce the amount of sugar or the amount of yeast you put in. The yeast makes the gas that makes the bread rise. If the culture has less food (less sugar) or if the culture is smaller it start with (less yeast) than you'll get smaller loafs. Try decreasing your sugar by a tablespoon or cutting the yeast by 1/2 teaspoon. You might need to try several reductions. If you're using another source of sugar, like molasses, just cut it by the same tablespoon amount.

Bread is ****.

Try to buy bread mixes that are in proportion to your machine. I had a machine that mads 2-1/2 pound loaves. I could only find mixes for 3/4 pound loaves. I had to buy multiple mixes, put them together and divide them by weight. I gave the machine away.

Bread maker {kenwood}

Instead of more yeast, substitute 1 cup of white bread flour in place of the whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour always makes a more dense loaf. Also, put a tent of aluminum foil over the loaf to radiate the heat back onto the top of the loaf to help brown it (as you would when baking a turkey).
