I can select a programme, the machine starts and mixes/kneads perfectly well, the dough rises, and then when it comes to the bake cycle, it switches off, and displays SEL. I've tried selecting 'extended bake' to finish the loaves but again, as soon as I press 'start' the machine reverts to SEL, which makes me think it's a heating issue. Is it a problem with the Thermistor, even though it's not displaying E5? Many thanks, Nicole

The only thing you can do for these machines is the following:
first, if the unit is always plugged in, disconnect it for at least an hour. This may reset it.
I doubt there are parts...but if you disassemble the unit and cycle all of the connectors, you may get lucky. IF parts exist, you'll likely need a timer module.

What does it knead? An unstuck switch? Ok, give me the bread, I'll hold it till things get better.
Alright. Does theswitch move or is it stuck? I told you that wasn't a mini scale. Are you capable of dis assembling it? Ok, you aren't. Go to a parts store (auto parts) and pick up a spray can of crc electrical cleaner. Then rush home safely and using the straw on the spray, Spray that evil button and work it while doing so until you hear or feel it snapping again. tilt the machine over the sink and let any excess cleaner run out of the machine. Now, this cleaner is flammable so no smoking or cooking going on. This cleaner is also fast drying and any liquid will evaporate and make a huge hole in the ozone layer and you can watch the falling stars while you sit enjoying you unshared bread. :) This cleaner should free up the switch. Do the spraying and draining out doors for fume sake. You may need to lean the machine side to sideas you work the button. Let the machine dry out before plugging it in. About half hour should do it if you have got all the excess liquid out. When you are ready put the switch in the off position and plug it in. If this doesn't correct the problem the switch needs replacing.. If the machine appears to be working right. turn the switch of and on several times until you are ok with its functioning.. Wipe dow the machine to remove any residue left by the cleaner.
Ok, serious now. the cleaner will vcompletely dry up but it may smell for a little bit. If his worked , all yhis one finger typing was not in vain. Good Luck, -Ned_
SOURCE: on dough mode, machine won't knead
paddles could be slipping. that was my issue. Here's the solution if so.
What happened in my case is that the nut holding the rotor that drives the left paddle was loose, allowing the paddle to slip. Only one paddle would knead and mix. The belts in my machine are fine, in fact so massive I can't imagine them breaking. But access? Yikes.
So, forget the screws on the bottom. They just hold on the feet. Remove all the screws around the top of the baking chamber, the two that hold the control panel on, and the remaining screws under it. There are about 12 screws. Remove the 6 at the bottom of the baking chamber, but not the 2 that hold down the element. Remove the metal sides of the baking chamber (it's one piece). All this is to get access to the screws that really hold the works to the base. They're around the perimeter of the metal chassis on which the motor and element are mounted. Remove them (get help or arrange something to keep the control panel from exerting too much pull on the wires to the element. You could unplug the control unit but I didn't need to.)
Once you lift the motor assembly exposing the belts underneath, you'll see what's loose. Each nut holds down a metal plate beneath the rotor. If it gets loose, the rotor can move more or less freely and won't turn. It looks like they applied an inadequate dab of glue to hold those in place. I should have put in a star washer to keep the nut from loosening again. Next time.
Good luck getting all the screws back in the right places ;-) Machine works fine now.

check the underside of the basket. I have had problems with the lock washer, causing the wing nut to slip and not providing any turn to the shaft and paddle.
