The available Use & Care Manuals available for a Bread Maker from Black & Deckercan be found here:

http://useandcaremanuals.com/SearchManuals.aspx?SiteID=4

If the search data is not retained; enter 'bread' in the search field and press the Search button. You should get a list of 6 Use & Care Guides. Do not enter 'bread maker' only 'bread'.

The model number should be on the back; might be labelled catalogue number.

I believe all these guides have an illustration on the front; hopefully one will match your unit.

Let me know if you are able to find a model numbner and none of these are helpful.

There are many recipe books online for 1.5 pound loaves that you can download. You will probably find your recipe there in the 2.0 pound size and 1.5 pound size. The other thing you could do is just increase all ingredients by 25%.

No, there is nothing wrong with your bread maker. The paddle is supposed to be somewhat loose so you can remove it after baking for cleaning. Don't worry your paddle and breadmaker are fine.

• Hello. Black and Decker no longer makes this unit. So the cord has to be an aftermarket or one that is the same even if from another maker. All cords are made for a "specific" skillet but many are interchangeable.
• Please keep in mind that sometimes replacing a part is just about as much as the unit itself.
• This temperature control plug right herehttp://cgi.ebay.com/RIVAL-NWTC-1-ELECTRIC-SKILLET-POWER-CORD-HEAT-CONTROL-/380344476428?pt=Small_Kitchen_Appliances_US&hash=item588e4c230c will work just fine for you.
• What you want to pay attention to is the watts that the skillet may draw. In looking at the specs for your skillet. if it were me, that one would be the one I purchase.

• If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
• Thank you for using FixYa.

You may be able to order a paddle for your Black & Decker B1561 Bread Maker from this site:

http://www.abtecparts.com/Black_&_Decker_breadmaker_paddles.htm

Before ordering you may wish to inquire whether the Paddle 500 is a suitable replacement for the B1561 or if they can supply the correct part.

You did not specify a model number for your machine. I was able to find a link for the Goodmans GBM625:

Other Goodman manuals may be available here; however there is a cost attached:

Knowing your breadmaker's loaf capacity will enable you to find recipes of any variety on the Internet for free.

It will also keep you from adding too much ingredients which could cause dough to over-rise and spill onto the heating element.

Remove your bread pan from your breadmaker. Using a one-cup 8-fluid-ounce liquid measure, fill your bread pan with water. As you do, count the number of cups it takes to fill your bread pan to the very rim.

Generally speaking...

If your bread pan holds 7 & 10 cups to the rim then you have a 1.0 lb or 500 g loaf pan

10 & 11 cups to fill = 1.5 lb (700 g) loaf pan

11 & 13 cups to fill = 2.0 lb (900 g) loaf pan

13 & 15 cups to fill = 2.5 lb (1250 g) loaf pan

15 & 17 cups to fill = 3.0 lb (1350 g) loaf pan

Generally speaking...

A bread recipe for use in a 1.0 lb (500 g) breadmaker should never exceed 2-1/4 total cups of flour.

1.5 lb (700 g) = 3-1/4 c

2.0 lb (900 g) = 4-1/4 c

2.5 lb (1250 g) = 5-1/4 c

3.0 lb (1300 g) = 6-1/4 c

Warning: When testing a new bread recipe it is always best that you not leave your breadmaker unattended. Stay close by to monitor its progress from time to time.

Most definitely a defective heating element, but your perticular model has no user-serviceable parts. Call 800-231-9786 for further assistance.

Hope this helps!

Addressing Power-up/Start-up Issues:

1. Unplug the breadmaker.

2. Confirm the power source you're accessing is live using a blender, toaster, etc.

3. Plug the breadmaker in.

4. Confirm the breadmaker is receiving power:

1. Some models have a built-in off/on switch. Turn it to the ON position.
2. Some models make an audible tone when plugged in.
3. Some models have a colored light and/or a lighted display screen that lights up.
4. Some models require you press the Select button down until the unit powers up.
5. Some models require you press the Start button down until the unit powers up.
6. Some models require you press the Select button first to select a mode, then press the Start button.

3. No, you were not able to confirm that your breadmaker is receiving power? Sorry to hear that. Attempt to have the breadmaker serviced by a small appliance repair facility or discard it.

4. Yes, you have confirmed that your breadmaker is receiving power? Fantastic! Now reboot the breadmaker's electronics by pressing down continuously on the Start button until you notice a visible and/or audible confirmation, usually within 5 to 10 seconds. Beware: Some models require you press the Select button first to select a mode, then press and hold the Start button to reboot the system. That should fix it. Hope this helps! Special Note: Often the + and - Timer Delay buttons are pressed by mistake, delaying Start by up to 12 hours. If you suspect the Timer Delay feature has been engaged accidentally, you'll need to reboot the breadmaker's electronics. You can do this by pressing down on the Start button continuously until you notice a visible and/or audible confirmation, usually within 5 to 10 seconds. Beware: Some models require you press the Select button first to select a mode, then press and hold the Start button to reboot the system.

You're using a fast-acting type of yeast instead of the standard active dry yeast. It's a very common mistake made even more common by the erroneous bread machine recipe writers. Here are the rules concerning bread machines and the yeasts they love the most: Use standard active dry yeast for all your standard-rise bread recipes. For the fast-bake white bread recipes use only fast-acting dry yeast. Fast-bake type mode selections are available on most newer models and the custom recipes provided in their instruction manuals are the only ones you should use. You should never experiment with recipe ingredients and their portions when using the fast-bake mode on any breadmaker. P.S. Always refrigerate your yeast with a close eye on the expiration date. When using grocery-bought bread mixes always substitute the yeast packet provided with fresh active dry yeast. Tip: A packet (or "sachet") of standard active dry yeast contains 2-1/4 teaspoons. Hope this helps.
