The paddles are not dropping in the large pan, and remain upright in the loaf. Solution anyone?

I have not had this happen. I have learned to really take care of my paddles. Before baking a loaf of bread spray the paddles with a bit of PAM to lube them and lube the hinge. This also make the paddles easier to remove from the pan after baking. When the loaf is baked I remove the blades and soak them and remove any bread residue with a toothpick. I then spray them with a bit of Pam to lube them and work the PAM down in to the hinge. I have not had any problem with the paddles. I really like this machine.

I had the same problem, the first time, but just made sure they were standing upright. And they were in the right way. No problems after that. Good luck.

Hi,I used to have the same problem.Surprisingly, if the breadmaker is left connected to the power between the bakes this what happens.If it is disconnected, and reconnected to the power for the next bake, everything works.Although it has the start/stop button, it does not have the same effect as a real power off.

We have owned the machine for about 3 months. We have noticed that the paddles do stay up sometimes, but not always. It just seems I be a random occurrence. Sorry, not much help.

I don't have a problem with my breadmaker at all. After I'm done making bread I unplug it let it cool and clean it. It works like it should everytime.

I haven't paid attention to the position of the paddles. I just pull them out after the bread is done. The way the paddles operate, the direction of rotation would most likely have to reverse for a couple of seconds at the end of the kneading cycle to stand a chance of laying flat consistently. Even if they reversed, they may not lie flat depending on the location of the ball of bread dough in the pan. It could easily hold one or both paddles in their final position. My best guess is they do not reverse and may lay flat sometimes and not other times. Plan B would be to remove the paddles at the end of the kneading cycle before baking if this is an issue.

I have not experienced any problem with paddle and had to look at my machine to understand your problem. My paddles sit above the bottom of the breadpan by the elevation of a small white plastic washer. My paddle, in fact, doesn't even come in contact with the bottom of the breadpan. You might contact manufacturer if this washer is not installed in your bread maker. Hope this is helpful.

If you mean after your bread has baked, it should pop out & leave the paddle behind. If you're finding the the paddle is repeatedly remaining in the bread, try measuring your oil, then dipping the paddle in it prior to assembly.

I have had absolutely no problems with this bread machine and I bake a loaf every other day since I purchased it. I'm not sure what could be causing the beater to come loose. I did leave the beater in twice but it did not come off in the loaf. I usually remove the beater just before the final rise. I would suggest making sure that the beater is seated correctly, the post it sits on should be level with the top of the beater when inserted.

The one I bought was a gift, and my sister had no trouble attaching the paddle to her mixer. I am sorry I could not help more.

I have had no problems like this. Perhaps your dough is too dry and therefore, stiff. Or the pan is not in properly.

I don't know how to describe the kneading paddle. Looks pretty much like any other bread machine's kneading paddle. No, it has never gotten stuck.

Not sure if this is the answer, but, I was experiencing a similar problem that eventually ended up with the shaft that holds the paddle coming apart from the pan. I had to buy a whole new pan assembly since there is no way to repair it. The cost, including shipping, was under $30. My bread is back to normal. If you decide to go this route, save the paddle. It does not come with the pan.

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

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.

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.

Not quite the size of this one. We had a smaller machine which made a very small hole in the loaf but we wanted to make larger loaves. I think what the problem is is that this paddle is not straight but bent and I believe this is what makes the difference.

The fact that the paddle has scratched the teflon bottom badly. I don't even want to think how much teflon we ate with the bread. I hope it's minimal. If you wish, I can send you a picture. Otherwise, this machine is like any others I have had in the past. The only difference is the retractable paddle because with breadmakers that don't have a retractable paddle, if you miss the "bip bip" to remove the paddle, you will have a real hard time getting your bread out.

I am not sure what you are calling 'large'. Mine comes out with a pretty small hole, just big enough for the paddles to exit. I carefully handle the pan with dish towels while it is still hot and dump it onto a platter. I think that if you are waiting for it to cool maybe you are having to dig the paddles out?

There is only one collapsible paddle that sticks in the bread every time. It kneads and mixes the dough. It doesn't do it for me. Maybe you'll have better results.

Try adding an extra T of flour or so when it's kneading. Usually when the dough "collapses" like that there's too much liquid. I also lift the lid and let the steam escape as soon as it's done.

My husband says that the loaves are vertical, but the pan is a rectangle, so I think it is more horizontal. There is only one paddle. The bread that I have made so far is very good.
