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

Waffle Maker: Kitchenaid wafflemaker power supply pcb

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 10:10:45 -0700

I have a Kitchen Aid wafflemaker KPWB100O-B00 with afailed power supply pcb with a burned resistor and can not find the Ohm value of the resistor as the heat damaged the colours. Can not by a new pcb, I have tried but it is to old. Attached is a picture of the pcb with the resistor named R3.

It failed when I connected a 220V to 110V converter, the converter was for ”non heating, non electronic use only”. I did not know that when I plugged it in. I need help to determine the Ohm value of the R3 resistor.

Waffle Maker: Now the thermostat or whatever that controls the heat doesn’t work

All-Clad waffle iron

I’ve had mine for about two years. Worked great. Now the thermostat or whatever that controls the heat doesn’t work and the waffle iron keeps getting hotter and hotter and the light that comes on when it’s ready to put the waffle batter and never comes on. Super sad.

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.
