There is a hole where the crank meets the sifter. I am worried flour will leak out through this. Did anyone else have this issue?

It hasn't been a problem for me. I only put a cup of flour in at a time otherwise it "throws" the flour up in the air and out of the sifter.

with flour sifters, you should not get it wet, otherwise the screens can get clogged. I was taught in 5th grade to shake it out and use a bristle pastry brush to clean it out. So, for me, it's simple. If your looking for dish washer etc, then I don't know-don't think you will have a good outcome.

I have the same problem on one I received a week ago. The tap is over sized a bit. I corected the problem with a wrap of heavy aluminum foil and then several wraps w/ teflon tape. It holds pretty well for now, when I have a chance I will add a nut to the inside to make sure it won't slip out. I want to make beer, not deal with the hassle of return...

I've had similar issues with a completely different bread maker and I think it's just something you have to accept about bread machines. My mom suggested pouring at least some of the oil over the paddle posts *before* putting the paddles on to make them come out more easily. However, this means they'll still be in the bread.

The nut under the filter can be loosened with a pair if pliers, then use fingers. Why do you want to take the filter off?. I use mine only for flour & a good shake after use seems to keep it clean. I have a Tupperware hand sifter for cocoa which has a bottom & top so no need to wet that either. Alison F 4/11.14

Hey, I bought the same microwave idli rack from amazon and its really fantastic. Best thing is, its easy to wash. I never had this problem of dropping down batter from the holes. I think your batter consistency is not right...I mean your are making batter that is more liquid. Try adding less water to your batter.

The same thing has happened to me as well. I have used wooden skewers to do the job. Just be careful not to prick your finger.

I had this problem recently, and I used a piece of plastic to pry the paddle off. Now I coat the spindle it sits on with canola oil before baking.

Time for a new iron. The main water container has a pinhole size hole in it. Sometime the water contaminates cause this. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Finkcreek

Whoa...may be the mixer head connecter insertion. Have you made "adjustments" for the height with the tool? Might be some of the problem, too. Mine seems to be somewhat loose at insertion with any of the beater attachments, which made me leery at the beginning; but it whips up double cookie batches with no problem. I make Divinity with it and whips it up great without any over-heat. I never tried it for bread dough, as I like to knead bread myself. I would call the 800 customer service number and talk to them about it, but first try your adjustment tool. Sorry you having problems with it...maybe I need to whip up a batch of French Bread to see how mine does...big snow storm here and roads are un-drivable in Champaign County in IL...so might just get it out and make some bread! :o) Let me know if the adjusting tool helped.

I'm currently having the same issue. I bought a hand held gas detector & discovered that my new stove has a slight leak from one of the rings! I am waiting on a part from the stove manufacturer to be available (by next week) and will see if it changes the situation! I will recalibrate as directed by the supplier of the hood and will follow up here when I feel either all is okay or status quo!

I am not a vendor and have no answer.Perhaps probing the little hole in the attachment with a needle would take out the deposit or food particles stick in there. You can try to soak it on vinegar I asse

I had the same initial problem. Try your recipe with 1/8-1/4 cup less flour. Worked for me.

Yes, it's normal. It doesn't happen every time, but does happen often. That's why that metal hook was included with the bread maker. Use the hook to go up in the paddle hole and tug it to make it come out. I've never known a bread maker that didn't do this from time to time.

I personally had no problem with any holes. I have no clue why others are having a problem. I made banana blueberry bread and they turned out perfect. I was delighted with thd product and was able to give my bread to friends as gifts.

The hole is standard issue with bread makers or any I've been around. Just cover the bottom of the pan in water and let it soak free. Don't try to force it or you will damage the seals. Been there and done that one.

I am not certain how much pressure you are using to put it in place. Mine kind of pops in when I put it in. If the lid is not on correctly or if there is something behind the canister, it will not go home and stay. I have used mine too many times to count (every weekend) and had no problems. You might want to check the seal around the spout that the flour come out of also. Could be something there. If it doesn't "pop" in you have a problem for customer service.
