Need a manual for west Bend Bakers choice plus 1

Not fully understanding this but it sounds like you are opening the lid too much and spoiling the rise. Only open the lid when at the dough stage if necessary.
Bread will not keep warm, it will steam and go wet and soft in the pan. Open the lid when the cycle has finished and remove the loaf.
Try re-setting your machine by holding down the start button till the display goes out.

Hi, You are not missing anything. The sealed bearing is starting to fail. Eventually the paddle will freeze up and you will need a new bread pan. Sorry Hank
