Before you take the bread out push the "stop" button until it beeps in a couple of seconds. Then unplug the machine, then take the bread out last.

Most bread machines are held in by 2 little spring clips...one on each side. They are under tension when the pan is in the oven and that is how it stays stable when kneading is taking place. So to get it out you have to release that tension and that is going take what I call the little "pop". Grab the handle of the pan right in the center with both hands and put a little slack in it by lowering the handle down about an inch and then "pop" it straight up the little clips will release ther hold on your pan......magic!!

That is normal. It is warming up and that is the clicking sound you hear. It should start after a few minutes (less than 30 minutes is normal).

Its really depend on you. If it has eratic or odd operation occur when you use it, it needs to be reset completely and merely changing bread selector knob has no effect. Reset it.
I hope this answer your question.

there may be a drive belt in the bottom of the machine.

Hi, Take the bread pan and paddle out of the machine and see if the paddle spins freely by hand. If it sticks then the sealed bearing is failing. If everything is good here, check the tension on the belt pulley. The belt may be too loose to spin the paddle freely under load. Belt and motor is inside the base of the machine. Good Luck..Hank

Make sure you have the pan snapped in between the two springy clips at the top of the oven cavity. Also make sure you have the pan all the way down on the shaft. If there's something in the hole for the shaft, it won't go all the way down and engage the shaft properly.

There should be some metal tabs that hold the bread pan in that machine. You probably have to push the pan over them to get it to stay. These become weak sometimes and you just need to try to stretch them out from the inside wall of the bread maker. You want them to stick out more so it puts more pressure onto the pan. Let me know if this doesn't make sense and I'll see if I can explain it a little better. Austin

check the underside of the basket. I have had problems with the lock washer, causing the wing nut to slip and not providing any turn to the shaft and paddle.

Usually holding the start button down for few seconds will clear the display and enable you to start again.

reach in with your fingers and bend the two little clips out a little until they grip your pan snugly. Start with 1/4 " and try that. If it doesn't feel snug go another 1/4 inch.... and so on....

reach into the oven part and grab the little spring clips and pull each of them outwards about 1/2 inch so they grab your pan better.

grab the handle with both hands and "pop" it straight up. It will come out...practice pulling out and pushing back in a few times to get your confidence up.....

Use the same recipe but reduce your liquid by 2 tablespoons
