The shaft in the pan for my Regal K6725 breadmaker won't turn, however the drive in the machine does turn when I remove the bread pan. It appears the shaft in the bread pan has siezed. Any ideas why this would suddenly happen or how to fix it?
Hi, The bearing that lets your paddle turn freely has frozen up. The bearing is lubricated and sealed at the factory, but as time goes by it freezes up.
One person suggested to soak it overnight in soapy water (warm) and try turning it by hand. If you are lucky this may work, or if not, a new bread pan is necessary.

If the leak is not too bad and you are NOT using the delay timer. Put all the ingredients in flour etc. add the liquid last and just before pushing the start button pour the yeast in. You can do this until you locate a "pan assembly" for your machine or email me at breadmachineshelp.com for good used machines. I have a pan assembly for the K6725 if you are interested in it let me know.
Hi, Either the paddle is frozen in the bread pan ( take pan & paddle out of machine and see if you can turn it by hand), or the belt has fallen off or has snapped. (Keep the bread pan out of the machine & run a knead cycle, look through the lid window and see if the motor shaft spins. Hank
I had the same type of problem with mine and found out you remove the kneading part that spins and pull up the seal underneath. You will probably find dough has gotten in under the seal somehow and caused problem. I just took a toothpick to it and voila! Trouble is you have to be careful not to damage the seal by taking it out...
Hi, I have the same machine and the 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

Unfortunately Regal ware no longer supply spare parts for there breadmakers, because their motto about dedication obviously didn't apply to bread machines.
I think youe best bet would be to take the pan and machine to a local machine shop and see if they could make you one up - if they could it shouldn't be too expensive.
Hope this helps :)
Where did you get the replacement belt ?
My brother is looking for a belt for a similar model K6761 which uses the same belt (I think).
It is about 24" around and 1/4" wide.
It has (3) grooves inside and the backside has many notches.
The motor has grooves, it would go on there.
Where did you get the replacement belt ?
thanks
