One of the blades seem to be stuck and I cannot pull it loose. Any suggestions?

I soaked it in water for awhile and was able to pry it up. If it's stuck in the bread, I use the wire gadget that comes with the machine and locate the paddle. Then, I gently work around it and lift it out. Unfortunately, it makes a hole in the bread, but it's not too bad if the paddle isn't yanked out.

First put enough water in the pan to cover the blade and let it soak for about 20-30 minutes. Empty the water and grab the blade with one hand and the other end of the blade shaft(on the bottom of the pan-the part that engages with the machine) with the other hand. Try pulling on the blade while wiggling the shaft.

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've never had a blade get stuck. However, in the past the bread dough seeped into where the blade (or paddles) straddles the mount inside the pan and it was difficult to remove them to wash. I've just taken the whole bread pan out of the breadmaker, placed the pan in a sink, filled it with warm soapy water and then pulled the blades straight up. Don't try to pry them out; you'll scratch off the non-stick coating. Hope that helps.

pouring hot water to loosen the flour and then with a plastic tool palette by lifting the lever under the basis of this.

Put warm water with a little dishwashing detergent and let it soak. I've been lightly coating the blades and inside of pan with cooking oil. It helps the bread come out of the pan easier, too.

i haven't had the problem..And I hope I don't!..perhaps try to soak in warm or hot water to loosen possibly stuck flour or dough..let me know what works! HAPPY BAKING!! And I agree with other suggestion of spraying "PAM"on blades prior to baking

Stick a flat blade screw driver under the socket and twist to pop it off or tap it in with a hammer if it's really stubborn.

I don't think the Blade comes off, If it is broke you have to re-order the whole little part, or you can call Oster they are very helpful, there number is in the little booklet that comes with it.

Have you possibly installed one of the blades upside down? Other than this, I cannot think of any other possibility.

Be sure the clutch is totally engaged in the out position. If the blade is not turning that is your problem.

Try prying it open with a screwdriver or a butterknife.try pressing it down then pry up.

I did that too. I turned it up side down and where I saw slots I carefully pulled them out and lifted the cover off and got the blade out. After that I discovered that all I needed to do was turn the blade until it was positioned for the dots to line up and it would come out.

I am having trouble as well, I've tried everything, including the paper clip and a thin blade tiny screwdriver. I cannot budge it. Anyone??? Heeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!A. OLOTT did you ever get yours off???

You have to take out the screw and pull it apart. You will also find your blades once you take it apart.

Try tightening with wrench first. If it happens again and your pitcher still in perfect shape just buy a new blades part and keep the same pitcher. You will save, a lot of money this way and no sense replacing pitcher if there is no issue with it.

This happened to me. Its stuck to the part it needs to unscrew from. I tightened it down first then it unscrewed.

There is a set screw that holds the fan blade to the side of the shaft. You will need a long allen wrench to loosen or remove the screw. There may also be some corrosion that will make it difficult to come apart. Some WD40 and careful tap on the old shaft usually does the trick.

The friction-y stuff inside may have just gotten a little tacky and doesn't want to let go, I'd say just pull it apart slowly and forcefully. If it breaks, I truly apologize. Maybe you have a defect(?). If so, I would contact the manufacturer.

I'm assuming that the part that was loose was the main head that holds the shears. I have looked atone and can't see how that would bind up the shears. So contact Pactool on that. The shears themselves I would say back out a 1/4 turn and try that, if that frees up the problem all is good. If your afraid of it coming loose again, remove bolt and put a drop of blue Lock Tite on threads and reinstall. Don't use Red as it sets really hard and takes a heat gun ta remove. The nice thing bout Pactool is the replaceable shears.

Are you pushing the release? It is inside of handle where blade is. On the pivot end of handle

You need to pull out the part holding the blade, then twist it, and pull the blade out

Disconnect the wires from the battery and short them together. That will keep the blades from turning. REPEAT...Disconnect from battery FIRST!
