I was given a B&D 2250 machine (used) and the kneading blade seems to be fused to the bottom of the machine. I have soaked it in hot water and scrapped out dough from beneath the blade but it is still stuck on tight. Any other solutions to get the blade off? I can not see it being sanitary with the blade stuck on and I would love to be able to use the machine. Thanks

Hi,
I buy and sell bread machines and have run in to your problem many times. Just log on to you tube and type in,,,,,,,,,,,How to Remove a Stuck Bread Machine Paddle or Kneading Blade"
You will need ...2 hotpads, an old shoelace or string about 3 feet long and 2 old milk jugs, detergent botlles etc......something that will provide weight than you can tie the string to. Tie the string tightly around the post and knot it tight.....the string goes in the little gap between the bottom side of the paddle and the pan. The other end is tied to the milk jugs....watch the video and it will make sense....
