Hi, Bread pans are too difficult to repair in my opinion. Try to find a replacement pan on ebay. Keep your paddle, you just need what is called the pan assembly. In return for my help please go to Amazon and take a look at my work of fiction titled "Lived" Just go to Amazon and type my full name in the Amazon search bar and it will pop up. If you buy it and read it please consider writing a review on Amazon if you enjoyed the ststory....Thanks Daryl Wayland Nash

Another possibility is that the two prongs that couple the motor in the base with the rotor in the baking pan can slightly bend when kneading heavy breads. This slant can create a force that pushes the pan upward while kneading. This is the same principle as rotating a vertically mounted screw causes it moving up or down. A simple solution is to use pliers to slightly bend the prongs in the direction of rotation to make them exactly perpendicular to the rotation plane. The prongs should be visible when the baking pan is removed. There is a well in the center of the base and inside that well there is an S shaped blade mounted on the spindle of the motor, which the ends of the S bent at 90 degrees upward. Those two ends push the two arms of the rotor in the baking pan. You should first determine the direction of the rotation by starting the machine (it is clockwise in my machine), and then grab each upward end of the S-blade with pliers and bend it slightly in the SAME direction as the assembly rotates.
Your blade should just pull off. If it doesn't that means somebody baked bread in it and didn't remove the blade wash it and the pan interior. The dried up bread dough between the blade and the spindle can make the blade almost impossible to remove. Let me know if that appears to be the problem.
i don't have an Emiril bread pan but i do know that the leakage won't be oil but dough that has leaked through the seal around the spindle. when it comes back up it is dirty. this is caused by the friction as the spindle rotates. it is all down to wear and tear, so i wouldn't worry too much about it happening if you buy a knew breadmaker. good luck . jackie A
Hi Bob: I believe the metal hook you are referring to may be the kneading blade. The kneading blade is attached to the spindle at the bottom of the bread pan before begining to add your ingredeints.
The kneading blade on the Panasonic bread makers is designed to fit loosely. If the dough is 'stiff' the kneading blade may stay in the bread when the loaf is removed from the pan. Allow the bread to cool completely before removing the blade carefully. Some types of flour absorb more water than others, so you can try adding an extra 10 - 20ml of water next time to see if this results in a slightly less 'stiff' dough.
This problem can also be caused if crust has built up underneath the blade. Make sure to wash the blade and its spindle after each use.
Hi...Take the empty pan out of the machine and spin the paddle by hand. It should turn freely with no sticking and should not be loose. There is a sealed bearing on the bottom of the bread pan and if this fails then the paddle will stick and be really loose if you try to move the paddle up and down. . If this is okay then check the belts and gear. They could be loose or worn out. Belts and motor are located in base of machine. Be sure to unplug before checking this out. Also, make sure bread pan is installed in the machine correctly. Hank
If the spindle is turning and the paddle is not then your paddle is worn out and probable slipping on the spindle. If the spindle isn't turning then your problem is underneath the pan or inside the drive and your paddle may be fine.
Hello, Either the blade is sticking or the belt is loose. Take the pan out and see if you can spin the paddle freely by hand. The paddle should turn nice and free. If it doesn't then the lubricated bearing the paddle rotates on is sticking. This could be due to wear. Put some warm water in the pan and let it sit. Try a few times...DO NOT put the whole pan in water...just fill it. If that's a no go the lubricated bearing is frozen and the pan needs to be replaced. If everything is fine in the pan, then the belt is loose. Belt, pulleys and motor are located in the base of the machine. Remember to unplug first before working on it.. Hank
