This happened to me also. What worked for me was to unplug the machine and wait at least an hour, then plug back in. It may reset for you. Good luck

Why did you unplug it? Try resetting at another recipe and see if this helps.

My experience with the machine is that it kneads perfectly, but you have to use ACTIVE DRY YEAST instead of another kind of yeast, and you have to throw the ingredients into the pan in order - do not mix the ingredients at all - just pour them in, and let the machine do the mixing. Except for substituting between BREAD FLOUR and WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR, do not substitute any other ingredients. This one is very picky about the type of ingredients that you use - not for the innovator :-)

According to page four of the manual linked below, you can simply hit START after selecting 1. Menu item, 2. Crust colour, 3. Loaf size, 4. Mix-ins, 5. START or Delay Start Timer. If the bread machine is running, and you wish to overide the Delay Start Timer, NOTE down the other options selected for Bread Type, Crust Colour, Loaf Size and Mix-ins; then press and HOLD the STOP/PAUSE key for 3+ seconds to re-initiate the breadmaking process. Re-enter the options, and re-start the breadmaker using no Delay Start Timer (Hit START in step 5.) or enter a new Delay Start time and then hit start https://www.cuisinart.com/share/pdf/manuals/cbk-200.pdf

Most likely causes are( in no particular order) -too much salt, too wet a dough ball to start>add more flour, ambient room temperature to cold, water too warm to start>try room temp or slightly warmed water best, old yeast, stale / old flour.

When I first got mine, I was playing with it and it was working fine. Then I went to the store to buy ingredients. When I got all my ingredients in the pan and tried to turn it on it wouldn't power on at all. I talked to a CS rep at Cuisinart, she told me to unplug it for a full hour. That did the trick. Maybe this will work for you.

I think you first have to make a profile in fixya. Don't need a full profile, but you have to give a mail address, that is not public, only visible for foxy staff. Then when you read a question, you see a box under the question, where you can put in the answer. Added with a photo, video or a link if you have one (ore more)

You may have a broken belt (not uncommon) Unplug your machine, remove the pand and paddle and turn the machine on its side. See if you can remove the metal panel on the bottom of the machine. Once you do that you will see if your belt is broken or has slipped off. It it is either of these you can reach me at breadmachineshelp.com I can then tell you how to get your belt back on or replace it.

If there is an adjustment you will have to take the cover off of the unit and find the tension control arm. If this is belt driven and there is not an adjustment you will have to replace the belt. I am betting this is a geared unit though.

Is this the same machine you have been using all this time? Or, is this an old recipe that worked in your previous machine but doesn't work in your Cuisinart? If you have moved from one location such as Florida to Colorado, elevation changes like that can make a difference in bread rising properly. If nothing has changed and now your bread doesn't rise properly then try using 1 tablespoon less liquid. If that doesn't work try 2 tablespoons less liquid and 1/2 teaspoon extra yeast.
