Bread Maker: Bread machine stuck in kneading mode

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 14:00:03 -0700

I have a Breadman brand TR-441 bread maker I bought second hand. It is a much older model and any relevant information I can find online is for much newer models. The issue is that it doesn’t stop kneading until the bake cycle engages. It should knead, rest, knead, rise, or then bake. It just keeps mixing/kneading for an hour then straight into bake. I bought this primarily as a dough maker and I can use it like it is by mixing and kneading the dough then turning it off. However, if anyone has experience or insight as to why this is happening, I’d love to hear it. I have soldering experience and ability, a full station available, etc but don’t want to make it less functional than it currently is with no idea where to even start

I bought my bread machine used and the owner plugged it in to show that it works. However, when I press and hold down the "start/ stop" button, it doesn't clear and starts mixing. When I pressed the "menu" to choose my dough setting, nothing came up, it continued to mix.

Bread Maker: Why does the pan come out after second kneading?

Sun, 16 Apr 2023 07:53:24 -0700

Pan comes out after second kneading. The make is Morphy Richards Compact. It is 13 years old. It is not the belt as we have just replaced this, it was jumping out before a new belt was fitted.

Hitachi HB-B102 Automatic Home Bakery II: Why does motor not run and paddle not turn

Sun, 16 Apr 2023 07:51:01 -0700

Started HB-B101. Paddle turned briefly, then quit. Started couple more times, but paddle didn’t turn. Machine completes cycle, lights show progress through cycle, element heats, but motor doesn’t even attempt to start (no humming). Found paddle shaft seized. Removed, lubed, and now fine. Motor test: motor removed, connected to power. Humms, but doesn’t turn. Slight spin of shaft and motor runs perfectly. Capacitor: connected to power for 5 seconds. Removed from power, touched screwdriver to one lead, then other lead…crack/spark/discharge. Connected both motor and capacitor to power (together). Motor still humms and needs slight spin to begin running. But…during seemingly normal cycle no humming, no nothing. Did something “blow” during the first attempt above and now is not sending power to the motor?" Any help appreciated.

Oster Expressbake CKSTBRTW20: Device has stopped mixing.

Tue, 12 Oct 2021 13:39:34 -0700

Hello! I recently picked this up at a thrift shop since I have always wanted to try one. I’ve used it 7 or 8 times and the last couple times the paddle would stop spinning to mix the ingredients. I thought it was due to gunk on the paddle or the inner container wasn’t inserted properly. This last time it mixed maybe two times and then would have an audible “click” sound instead of turning the paddle. Does anyone know how to fix the motor or attachment?

Tried to make a bread . When I turned on the bread maker it sounds bit different and blade was not moving. I emptied the dough pan and then tried to turn on it was moving but with dough its not. Seems it has very low power to handle the dough or belt needs to be changed?

Please advise
