What do I do when the paddle won't turn?

Have them replace it. My first one wouldn't turn out of the box and I had them send a new one.

Is the paddle properly seated on the drive shaft? And make certain you are not over-freezing ingredients If you are ok in both situations, contact manufacturer

Make sure that the bowl is seated properly as well as the handle. There is a switch at the back, I sometimes forget to switch it on, then you will have the digital numbers come on, once that is done the paddle should turn. I know originally I had the same problem and though the item was defective, though it had been packaged badly, looked like a return. Amazon is so good about standing behind all they sell, so I did get a replacement. I love it.

I would suspect that you put it on so that the flat of the paddle and the flat of the shaft were not lined up. Check for that first. If they are lined up, put a little water inside and let it soak for some hours - maybe some dough is sticking it up. If they are not lined up, you need to buy two little flat pry bars or find two somethings that you can use that are "L" shaped or buy the smallest size of pulley puller so that you can get pressure under both sides of the paddle and pry evenly under both. Good luck!

I haven't had any problems and this is my second machine of the same model; try a little olive oil on the bottom section of the paddle.

Hold each end and twist back on itself. Be firm, it will want to undo. Try a fewtimes and you will see how it wants to go

Try moving the rod in a small semi-circle and twisting it at the same time. Good luck.

Mine turns fairly lightly with my hand right out of the box. There are detents at each punch finger position, that holds it in position. Push harder. If that doesn't work, try lightly with pliers or another tool to free the wheel. You might have a bad one

On occasion I will have a problem getting mine to twist to unlock. I have not found a sure fire trick that will unlock it but find it is easier if I do not screw on the foam piece first and did use pliers to get a better grip when I just could not get it to turn. After the first time it happened and I didn't think I would ever get it unlocked now when putting it away I turn it just enough to catch the lock. If you can't get it open send it back as defective and get a replacement.

Try taking the servo arm off the swashplate and unscrewing the black part that connects to swash a cpl turns put it back on and keep trying until heli quits pulling you can adjust them to make your heli fly different ways

My collapsible paddle broke on the fourth loaf. It's being replaced by Breadman and the fulfillment company is Farnsworth Hill Company. I found their website where you can order spare parts at http://www.fhcsales.com/p-3493-bk2000bq-breadman-breadmaker.aspx. The paddle is less than nine dollars, so I'm ordering an extra to keep on hand.

I also had that problem on both of the ones that I purchased. After trying for hours to repair/operate them, I finally found the solution. The damn things are absolutely worthless junk. Do what I did, walk to the closest body of water and give it a fling. It will make you feel better later.

Take the cover off, lift with the handle and turn upside down. There is a screw cap, unscrew and fill with water. Put back together and turn on. It should work.

I would lock it back up and try the side handles first slowly then the top ones. I would also make sure the top hose switch is disconnected.

I bought the same board but after six month, the extendable paddle got rusty inside. I can not enjoy the board with this short paddle due to stuck problem.T. Endo

Press down on it. It's a pump. If your's doesn't work, it's probably broken.

make sure the paddle is pushed down all the way. I did not have that problem, but I might try removing the paddle anyway so there is not a hole in the bread from the paddle, haha

This happened to me too. Sometimes you have to reset the float, but if that doesn't work you should send it in via warranty.
