Just purchased this breadmaker but the breadpan will not snap back into the breadmaker. What do I need to do?

Make sure the clips on the breakmaker align with the bread pan. Once they are aligned, push down. They should snap in place. It takes a little fiddling at first. I use the machine for Gluten Free (8). It works like a charm.

Hi Try to place the breadpan so it will fit the bottom of the basket to the rotor of the machine, having aligned the side clips. Then, push it and don't expect it will go smooth, use some "gentle" force. If is not latching perfectly, the blade will not be rotated properly by the rotor. Scott has a good advise and if is not working ... return it! I am still not happy with cycle 1 and 2, I am using it mostly for cycle 9 (dough) and bake it in the oven. Not sure how useful is my opinion, hope it will help!

I suggest you call zoster customer Service because I do not want to suggest you do something that will cause damage to your Breadmaker. That being said, I find I have to really push the pan into place, with a little pressure, and then I hear it 'click'. Sometimes, I have to find the right 'angle' for it to click in. At first, I was afraid of applying that 'little bit of pressure' my pan needed to apply, but then I read a review that said that us what another owner did; now, I know how much pressure to apply.

You need to push fairly hard to get it to snap back in place. And like Bogdan I am not happy with the way this bread machine works in general. It is fine if you follow the recipes in the supplied booklet but if you have tried and trusted old recipes or recipes from the internet they will most likely fail. I have been using the same bread maker for 20+ years with no issues and this Oster does not work the same way as my old one. I have been trying to get the "old" recipes to work and have deduced that if you use less yeast it works better. Anyone having issues if you search to Oster and falling loaves you will find quite a bit. Good luck.... You need to push fairly hard to get it to snap back in place.

The basket is hard to get in because of the side clips inside the baker unit. If you are pushing down and it still does not go down, then you may need to rotate the turning blade on the bottom of the mixing pan to realign it to the bottom of the baker unit.

I'm so sorry you've had such bad luck. Mine works perfectly and I produce wonderful loaves of fresh bread. Try another brand and report the results. Now I'm worried!!

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 came to the same conclusion. Thanks for your input. I still think that the manufacturer should have addressed this problem and done something to correct it. The other machine I had did not have this problem. I only got this because I needed to make larger loaves.

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 agree with dgminer; you have to snap it into place. It felt like I was forcing it, and then I gave it a little more elbow grease and it snapped on. You might to rotate it slowly as you try to snap it on.

My wife had this issue with a different breadmaker and it turned out to be the yeast not the machine. She had to try a few yeasts, I think it was the humidity in Florida killing the yeast or something.

Mine does the same thing, small load, clicking noise. I have only done very small loads like you, 3 1/4 cups flour for 1 loaf of bread, & it clicks every time. Very annoying when I have read reviews that some lucky customers have mixers that don't click. Kitchenaid Customer service says "normal under heavy load", so in my opinion, it's NOT normal under a light/small load. Still working with customer service to try to get a unit that doesn't click, the replacement they sent me was worse than the original. Very frustrating.

This is one of the only bread machines that I didn't have a problem removing the paddle from. After it cools off put one hand on the wing nut underneath and give it a very slight turn while holding the paddle firmly. You will feel it "pop" loose and then yo can just pull the paddle out of the bread pan.

Breading doesn't stay on well in the actifry. The stirring action usually knocks it off. I have tried things like frozen onion rings and they come out with much of the breading off.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL. SEND IT BACK AND ASK FOR ANOTHER; KEEP SENDING IT BACK UNTIL YOU GET WHAT YOU HAVE PAID FOR. You are making REAL bread, not the rubbish others settle for. The lid MAY have been damaged in shipping. In addition, the lid should move fairly easily, should close all the way - there is a BIT of a "click" as the lid closes properly.

I have never been ablet to keep the blades out of the bread........on this machine.My 2 previous machines never had that problem.. only this one.. don't know why..... just plan to dig them out ...

Never had a problem with this bread maker. We use to have fallen loafs with our old one so we modified the recipe using slightly less yeast. Good luck

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!

The paddle sat in the machine rather loosely, I thought, and it did get stuck for me..in fact, was the reason the thing quit working maybe. I tried two of these machines...both of them broke down so I gave up completely. If I get another bread machine it won't be Panasonic, unless they make me an "offer I can't refuse."

I just got this machine as a gift. I thought the pan seemed to sit a little loose in the enclosure, so I tried adjusting the fit by bending the fittings on the sides of the pan up a bit. Then the fit was too tight. I bent them down just a little and now the fit seems about right. It doesn't take much pressure to bend the fittings, I did it using just my hands. It only takes a little bit of bending to make a big difference in the fit. So for people who are having trouble removing the pan, I'd suggest bending the fittings down just a little.

I just received my Breadman bread machine and i am not able to remove the pan at all! No amount of tugging with the breadmaker set on the floor would pull it out. I am very disappointed because I was hoping to use it this weekend! I guess I am going to return it and ask for a new one that i can work with!
