Help, First loaf I'm trying to make and it doesn't stop paddling at the end of the mixing cycles. What's with that?

Did it go into the kneading phase? They turn and keep tossing the dough until it's time to go into the rising phase.

If you mean it keeps mixing during the raise cycles, you have a problem and should send it back

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!!

Honestly - I never did that before making my first loaf and it was fine. I hope that helps.

I didn't do that. I did the same as Jack. I don't remember the instructions saying to run it empty. I cleaned it out, and started making my bread! My first loaf was a low-carb bread. The texture came out just fine!

When starting to make dough, the paddle will stir, then pause, and repeat this for a minute or two. Slowly incorporating the flour into the wet ingredients, keep the machine from throwing flour everywhere. After this phase, it will stir steadily.

Yes, it's normal. It doesn't happen every time, but does happen often. That's why that metal hook was included with the bread maker. Use the hook to go up in the paddle hole and tug it to make it come out. I've never known a bread maker that didn't do this from time to time.

I've made the whole wheat twice and it has come out burnt on the outside twice. I wonder if I have a faulty machine. The other breads I made (which allow you to adjust the crust) turned out fine. With whole wheat setting it doesn't allow one to choose a crust... advice?

i just received my breadmaker. everything worked great and the bread looked wonderful (ha). until it was time to remove the bread. you better be a rocket scientest. finally my husband came to my rescue, by the time he got the bread out, the paddles hole really made an awful mess.i am not a happy camper.the box went out with the trash, so here i am with this (big) machine to look at. and i do mean (big)hope this helps you. a friend of mine reccomended this breadmaker to me, i have had westbend products before so i though i was doing the right thing (wrong)

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.

I've had similar issues with a completely different bread maker and I think it's just something you have to accept about bread machines. My mom suggested pouring at least some of the oil over the paddle posts *before* putting the paddles on to make them come out more easily. However, this means they'll still be in the bread.

If the bread keeps falling, increase yeast by 1/2 teaspoon or decrease salt by 1/4 teaspoon. You can also try reducing the water called for by 1/4 to 4 tablespoons. High humidity or high temperatures being present can sometimes ruin loaves as well. If problems continue, please contact Oster direct for more troubleshooting.

I have had my machine for several years now and do not have this problem. A few times the paddles have stuck in the bottom of the baked loaf of bread, just don't ever use anything metal to get them out so you don't compromise the coating on the paddles.

There is no audio or visual signal to the end of the brewing cycle...at least not in my model. I just wait until I don't hear it brewing anymore, then wait a minute for the last of the water to filter through the grounds.

The advertised paddle action,to lay flat during baking, did not work. It rose up during mixing and agitation and seemed to go flat during baking. It leaked batter under the paddle which then baked into the bread's bottom.Sometimes it stayed up during baking and the whole paddle got baked into the bread which ruined a large portion of the loaf.

It's probably because you overfilled it and/or used the wrong paddle. I always try to fill just below the fill line because it doesn't take much to overfill (the line is under the word "MAX").

HiTry 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 had no issues with this. Just make sure that on your first use you flour it well and really work the flour into the grooves as much as you can. The moisture from the bread and the flour seems to keep the little strands from tearing further or coming off. I didn't have many on mine though.

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.
