I have had my bread machine now ten years. Last week, even though I could hear the motor whirring under the bread pan, the bread paddles isn't moving. I replaced the bread pan and paddle, still not working.

Your drive
belt has probably either broken or come off. Make sure your machine is
unplugged and turn it on its side and take the bottom panel off. The belt is in
there. If it has snapped or come off you'll need to replace it. I have a few
belts that might fit. Hopefully your
belt will have letter/number code on the smooth side. It will look something like this: STS 80 S3M 561 Email me that code to [email protected]. If I have it I could sell you the belt. There are several videos
on you tube that show how to put a belt on a bread machine and you could
install it yourself if I have the belt you need.
As a thank you for my help
please goto Amazon and type my full name in
the Amazon search bar,
which is, Daryl Wayland Nash If you enjoy
reading good fiction,mystery, suspense, horror I think you will enjoy my new novella "Lived" It will scare your socks off!
If you enjoy the read please write
a 3-4 sentence review of it on Amazon and share your thoughts
about the book with thousands of other readers! Doesn't that
sound like fun! Happy Baking too! Daryl


Testimonial: "Thank you for your advice, however, I cannot get the bottom panel off! I took all of the screws out but it's either stuck or something else is holding it on tight."

SOURCE: paddle comes off inside bread

We have had a number of bread makers and this is the way they work - the bread cooks and the paddle has to pull out somehow so it just rips a hole in the bread.
We found it better to let the machine do all the mixing etc. then my wife takes the dough out and puts most of it in a loaf pan and some in the form of buns in another pan. Works better for us & the bread is a more "normal" shape rather than the odd shape produced in the breadmaker. Also the crust isn't so tough when done our way.

SOURCE: breadmaker paddle rotor falls out, letting liquid

Hi,
Looks like you need a new bread pan. Try looking on Ebay. They are expensive. I just bought a new one at walmart instead.

SOURCE: Kneading paddle is baked into bottom of bread

Yes, this is a common occurrence.
Nothing to worry about unless you chow down and forget to remove the paddle(s). :)

Since the paddle(s) stays in the pan after the kneading and through the baking process. The bread can trap the paddle(s) as the batter cooks.

We have gone through 3 different bread machines and over time all eventually did this. A little wear on the spindle will loosen the paddle(s).
Hope this helps!

Testimonial: "Thanks."

SOURCE: My problem lies entirely on wear worn out parts on

Hi,
The sealed bearing is pressed in on the bottom of the pan and individual parts can not be purchased separately. You need a new bread pan. Try a google search or try eBay. This is a popular model. Hank

SOURCE: The 5891 has an O-ring seal inside that helps

Hi, I have looked to expecting to find one but ran into the same thing you did. I didn't try Sunbeam Oster though, maybe they would have one. I buy and sell and repair bread machines sort of as a hobby. If you ebay, I have a cuisinart and your model of sunbeam up for sale this week. If you ebay and are interested in just getting a replacement machine the one I have advertised has never been cooked in so the pan is new. If you ebay just type this Item # in the ebay search bar:

best wishes and happy breadmaking!

Wheat Bread setting on bread machine does not work.

The wheat bread setting on many machines has a delayed start sometimes as much as 20-30 minutes. Try the wheat setting again with no ingredients in the machine and wait at least a half hour before concluding your mahcine doesn't work. On the stuck paddle: Sometimes they are impossible to remove if someone stored the pan with dough between the spindle and paddle.

First bread machine, one paddle would not spin, also black gunk accumulated under paddles - great customer service - bread machine replaced. 2nd bread machine, another malfunction - again, great customer...

Hi...The black gunk under the paddle seems to be caused by the sealed bearing located on the bottom of the bread pan. When this seal breaks the lubrication leaks out. It's a problem with the bread pan and not the machine. Seems the new machines cost more and are made with really cheap bread pans. I've had good luck with my Sunbeam and it's warranted for a year. Just my opinion....Hank

Re Black & Decker Bread Maker: Most of the time the paddles remains stuck in the pan and the bread sticks to the paddles. As a result, loaves usually have large chunks torn out of them. There are...

Hi, Take the paddle out of the machine at the end of the last kneading cycle and before final rise.. Use pause or take pan out of machine to remove paddle. OR... spray the shaft with a small amount of olive oil. This should allow paddle to come out when bread is done. You will have to fish the paddle out of the bread in this step. Hank

The machine gets warm but the paddle doesn't turn.

Hi, The paddle should turn freely by hand with the bread pan out of the machine. Make sure the pan is inserted in the machine correctly. If the motor shaft turns but the paddle doesn't then the sealed bearing that the paddle rotates on has failed and is frozen so the paddle does not turn.. You may need a new bread pan. Hank

I need a part

Bread Machine Parts Finder locates and sells used bread machine parts. We also sell other hard to find vintage kitchen items and spare parts. We are here to provide those hard to find items. Bread Machine Parts Finder searches for discontinued bread machines weekly.
Let us know what you need. Don't be fooled by blogs which state that pans & paddles are the only parts available and are priced so high that you should by a new machine, because of a low $50 or less price tag. New machines just are not built like those older machines that were built to last. New machines are built to ware-out quickly. I'm sure you know why. Most older machines were built to last & are easy to work on. I have hundreds of bread machine parts in my eBay Store & they're all less than $50. We carry all internal & external parts. We carry lids, lid hinges, control panels, rubber feet, pans, paddles, gaskets, belts, coupler-drives, pc-brains, inner-pans, heating elements, sensors, electric motors, timing gears, pulleys, screws and more. Just click on the link below to go to our eBay Store.

Kneeding seems to jam frequently

Hi, Take the bread pan and paddle out of the machine and see if the paddle spins freely by hand. If it sticks then the sealed bearing is failing. If everything is good here, check the tension on the belt pulley. The belt may be too loose to spin the paddle freely under load. Belt and motor is inside the base of the machine. Good Luck..Hank

The driveshaft falls out of the pan, even with paddle attached

Hi,
The shaft is pressed into a bearing that is molded and stamped in the bottom of the pan. This bearing is sealed and allows the shaft and paddle to spin freely. The rest of the parts on the other end of the shaft interact with the motor on your machine. They do wear out and can not be repaired because the worn parts are not available individually.

Sorry to say there are no repairable parts, so it's time for a new bread pan. I don't know the brand of your machine so you can google or check ebay.

Removing paddles before bake cycle

Rather than pulling out the paddles , pull out the dough and bake it in regular bread pans in your oven.
