machine is not working right... are both rollers supposed to be turning as i put pasta through? only 1 does. cutter is fine.

Yes, this is the third one I have bought and both rollers do turn ( two as gifts). Is the pasta machine handle inserted all the way through? If you like, use some mineral oil on the rollers; you shouldn't wash the pasta machine using water, we use a small paint brush to dust away any flour.

Yes both should turn. When cleaning never use water. We have a small paint brush to brush any flour away. Maybe you can put drops of vasline oil on the endsof the rollers. That what the instructions say for the cutting wheels. I hope this helps.

Both rollers should turn. Try Pam Spray on the ends of the rollers. I clean with a slice of bread run through three or four times.

Contact Food Saver, your machine is broken. I have had several machines in the last 3 years, they are not very durable, but work great. I called them and they sent a replacement machine. Good luck.

I have not experienced this problem. The shredding done by my machine is what I expected it to do. Maybe you have a bad set of shredding rollers in yours. I would contact Amazon or Fellows about this issue. Good Luck!!

Mine did the same thing. It made a grinding sound and would never go back into the start position. I called support...everything, they couldn't/wouldn't help. They were going to give me a small credit to buy another one. I declined since this one had broke within a year. I decided that since it was broke anyway and I couldn't use it, that before it made 'in position' beeps to start, I would manually move the cutter all the way over into the start position(while it was making the grinding noise). There is a trigger in the start position that tells the machine that it is ready to start. I did this SEVERAL times with no success. Machine was useless. Then I tried again and I must have had the right timing. It has worked ever since...no grinding noise. It's all about timing and I don't guarrantee my fix will work for you. I figured the machine was a waste anyway, so I might as well try it (even though in my mind I figured I would break the gears by doing this. Didn't matter...it didn't work). If you are ready to write it off or throw it out the window...give it a try.

The pasta you are cutting should not be wet and or sticky. All I do is brush out any pieces that are around the cutting blades and finish by wiping with a dry towel. I was disappointed with this attachment because the gear that you insert the handle into seems to be plastic and it stripped out after a lot of use. It worked fine until then. Good Luck

I have the same problem with mine. I thought it might have just been because I was using chilled dough. When I push down it does not catch the metal to push out the dough.

Make sure the blade was placed in the right position. Mine makes some noise when making the dough, but it won't move around on the countertop. Good luck

I bought this pasta roller for making Pappardelle pasta. Yes, I suppose I could roll out a flat sheet of pasta and then cut it wider into Pappardelle shape, but I wanted to do it this way. I really love making pasta, and this is just one more "toy" for me.

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!

Call the tech. support number, they are awesome! they gray metal top pulls off, exposing the rollers. You can turn the temp. way down, turn it on so the rollers will move... hope that helps :0)

The dough needs to be soft to work with this pasta maker. Thick dough will not press through it. If the dough is the right consistency, this product works well.

Hi SundancejanSorry cannot help as I don't have the motor. I have the rest of the bits and the drive is the same for the roller section (to flatten dough) and for the parts that cut the pasta (lasagna), so if the motor is a stand-alone unit then it should work fine with either attachment. The machine works very well with the manual crank.

My machine came with two cutters: one for ribbon like fettuccine, and another for very thin spaghetti. I am not an expert on the names for pasta cuts, but the spaghetti cutter on my machine gives me spaghetti that is much, much thinner than what my grocery store calls "spaghetti".

The pasta roller doesn't cut to size but rolls out the pasta into sheets that you then run through the cutters. At the widest these sheets are the width of the roller but in my experience the width of the sheets depends on how much dough you put into the roller and how thin you roll it. The sheets are flat on both ends.

I had this problem also. The sheet has been rolled around the two rollers inside the laminator, or it is bunched up right inside where it comes out. You can stick a pair of scissors in there and see if you can get it to come out, but if its around the rollers you need to unscrew the bottom and cut it off the rollers. You could probably also just send it back to amazon, but it will still work after you untangle the mess! It is a great little laminator.

No not at all the cuts are clean and all pasta comes out separate. Just have to make sure you roll enough in the roller to the proper thickness. I like 3 for my final thickness and add a little cornmeal and flour to the top to help it roll smoothly

I'd send it back and get a good one. Mine works fine. I wind it up and then put what i'm cooking on it and press down and it rotates until I lift the cooked food off from it and it stops rotating. Yours should work something like this. Good luck. By the way, I have enjoyed using mine. I never had one before, but it's doing the job.
