Blade in my Kitchen Pro 6725 does not turn

I got this machine from someone who reportedly used it only about three times and then stored it in a cabin that was unheated in the winter months. It smelled musty when I got it, and my bread machine guru friend cooked water in it and so forth and got rid of the musty smell. She then baked something on Quick Bread Cycle and a loaf of classic white bread on the Basic Cycle. She then returned the machine to me, it sat around in my laundry room for about a month, and yesterday I put a Krusteaz white bread mix in it and fired it up....and it just sat there, making all sorts of appropriate noises, the control panel working, but the paddle did not turn. Yes, the pan was inserted correctly and snapped down properly. The program was set to Basic and Medium crust and I hit start. The timer counted down while it was working, it seems everything was OK except the paddle did not turn. I could turn the paddle by hand, after I had cancelled and then programmed it three times and then finally gave up, kneaded the bread dough by hand, washed the pan out, etc etc. I had no manual so downloaded and printed the 32 page manual thinking I must be doing something wrong....

My friend came over and looked at it, she was pretty astounded that this machine, which looks like new, sat down on me like this as it worked for her....and we would welcome any suggestions. She said I had everything hooked up correctly and it was programmed correctly, she also snapped the pan in and programmed it, and it made noises and the control panel worked, but the paddle did not turn.....

Also, when the pan was removed the drive shaft did not turn, either. When you remove the pan and start the machine, that shaft is not turning, so of course the paddle is not kneading.

Is it a goner? Thanks

Hi,
You probably need a new belt. Either that or as a result of adverse temperatures in that cabin the motor is gone.

Unfortunately Regal does not make bread machines any more and that belt is very difficult to find.

Maybe if you can measure it you an find something close.

What a pity...

Hank

Why can't remove paddle from regal pro bread maker 6725?

You don't really have to remove it at all. But pour very hot water into the pan and let it sit for about 10 mins. empty out, be careful it wil be hot then twist the blade it should come off. If not use a pastry brush and paint a little veggie oil on it.

My Regal 6725 kneading blade does not turn when the machine is started. What can I do?

Some machines take a few minutes to start turning if the interior temp is too cold. Some always have a delay on whole wheat cycles. If it doesn't start kneading after 1/2 an hour then there is a problem. Let me know if it doesn't start kneading after about 1/2 hour.

The drive belt on my kitchen pro breadmachine has broken. Its a toothed belt and I have not got the model #

Is it a Regal Kitchen Pro? If so, it should say so on the housing of the machine.

Follow the instructions on how to measure for a belt below. I used yarn because it gives a little, and just using a measuring tape would not give as precise a measurement.

Remove the safety cover from the bottom of the machine, exposing the wheel and drive shaft (it's easy, that's all you will see, those two parts) and run yarn around them, pull it snug, knot it, cut the yarn, remove the yarn, stretch the yarn a little on a measuring tape or yardstick, that is the length belt you need. If your machine is a k6725 it will measure 23 and a half inches. Proceed as below.

If the measurement is different, you have a different model, maybe. Google the measurement you get and the words bread machine belt, and see what you can find. Good Luck, read below how I fixed my Regal machine, which I got for free, with an Oster belt, for $14.90.

My Regal Kitchen Pro 6725 Breadmaker belt was in tiny rotten pieces...I wound a piece of yarn around the wheel and drive shaft (lie the machine on a kitchen counter, lid open and hanging down off of the counter, bottoms up, and remove the screws from the teardrop shaped brass colored safety cover, remove the cover and expose the wheel and drive shaft) pull the yarn tight and knot it. Then cut the yarn about an inch from the knot. Measure the yarn when pulled on a little. Mine measured 23.5"....I then googled bread machine belt 23.5" and up came one for an Oster Bread Machine (The one I was repairing was a Regal Kitchen Pro 6725) from totalvac.com located at 2 De Bush Ave Unit A8 Middleton, MA 01949
It was $7.95 for the belt, $6.95 S & H to a VA address, total cost $14.90 so I decided to give it a shot. When it got here, I removed the safety cover, held the machine up and shook as much of the old rotten rubber belt pieces out as I could, and replaced the belt by placing it over the sticky string on the drive shaft and teasing it over the wheel. It is an exact fit. Be sure the ribbed side of the belt is down against the wheel. Screw the cover back on and run it through a dough cycle so that the belt will get coated with the sticky stuff from the sticky string on the drive shaft. Until the belt is coated, it will turn the mixing blade, but it will slip. Hope this helps. Patti
