Most parts are discontinued and I can't find a parts diagram. This article is the most helpful one. It sounds like you need a new paddle so it fits the shaft better, or you have too many nylon washers and the shaft isn't sitting deep enough in the paddle. All my bread is made by hand, no machines and hand kneaded. The dough proves in the oven with just the light on. Breadmaking is fun.
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.
The drive may be broke. It travels from the head to the engine. The drive spindle is attached in a hole at the engine and the engine rotates the spindle to rotate the head. The drive spindle must be broke inside the shaft, the engine or the head. If this is the case, a new weedeater will be a better option.
Either contact the manufacturer, or remold the interior of the paddle hole yourself. How? Using something like JB WELD. Place a peice of plastic wrap over the metal spindle, spreading it not only around the spindle but 2-3 inches outward like a skirt. Mix the epoxy (I recommend JB Weld) and place a small blob over the spindle. Pack the hole in the paddle with it. Now, place the paddle back over the spindle and let the epoxy set-up overnight.
Because of the plastic, the paddle should lift up off the spindle. Using a carving tool, a hand grinder, or sandpaper and elbow grease, remove the excess hardened epoxy. The interior of the spindle hole should be good-as-new.
OR, find A STORE that sells breadmakers, and find a paddle that will work on yours, and 'borrow it' (a your own risk, shoplifting is a crime).
