That is a problem with all breadmakers. The only way to prevent this is to remove the dough ball from the machine after the final punch down and just before the final bake. I've never done that but it might be a solution, but I have heard others talk about it. If you choose to leave the paddle in as I do then use a toothpick and poke around the outline of the paddle with it. You will still have a hole but it won't be as large. I sometimes use a popsicle stick too. Whatever you don't use anything metal to get it out if you have a metal paddle because you will scratch the non-stick surface on it.

I find two answers about this wrong that I quote:
1.-
Just had the same thing. Instructions in the manual didn't work, but found this by trial and error:
- press and hold START/STOP as stated in manual until display goes blank
- with display still blank, press TIMER
- machine pops into life and you can now change the settings.

2.-
Hold down START/STOP pad until display goes blank. Take finger off. Then reactivate by pressing SELECT. Don't panic. The display will look the same but you can now move through the programmes to where you want to be. It's in the manual, I've just discovered!

Make sure that your yeast is easy-bake and that it is not nearing its expiry date. Also try moving your bread maker to somewhere less cool. Rising is sometimes affected by ambient room temperature. Good luck.

pls. try to reset your unit by unplugging it at several minutes then plug after then observe.

You probably have the solution by now but just in case.
Mine is a similar machine and i need to hold the Start pad down till it goes blank. The I can reset.

A few tips.
The yeast must be absolutely fresh, use sachets instead of packets.
Keep yeast well away from the fats and liquids.
The fast rise setting will produce less rise than the full program.
You must only use strong bread flour.
Open lid immediately beep sounds.

Hi, you are choosing the wrong program when you push start/stop. You need to either just add another 10 minute to the timer or choose the bake program again and add time to the timer. Hope that makes sense. once you push stop and then push start it defaults to the basic program and it is going to tell you the chamber is too hot. If your dough was risen and ready to bake you need to stay on the Bake program and add time in 10 minute increments until passes the "toothpick" test.

Hi, recommend you go online for "automatic bread machine recipes"after finding a recipe you like just realize that you will only be able to make the dough and then if you want rolls they will have to be made in a regular oven.

There may be nothing wrong. 4 hours is probably the length of the bread program you chose. All bread machines do that. After about 15 minutes your machine should start the kneading process with a slow pulsing mix. Some machines and programs don't do anything for the first 15-20 minutes. Whole wheat recipes especially have a built in delay before any kneading begins.

If you've checked everything on the troubleshoot list, your machine may need to be replaced. If you want to try it here is what I recommend. Cut your salt amount in half. If it says 2 teaspoons of salt use only one teaspoon if the final loaf has been getting too small and dense. Please let me know if this makes a difference.

Hi, It could be that the paddle is sticking or the belt is slipping. This would cause the ingredients not to be mixed properly. Take the empty pan and paddle out of the machine and see if you can spin it freely by hand. It shouldn't stick. If it does stick then the sealed bearing is frozen and a new bread pan is needed. If everytrhing is fine, then check the belts. Belts and motor are located in base of the machine. Unplug machine before working on the belts. Hank

If you feel your dough has kneaded and risen enough, try pushing the stop button until it beeps. Then unplug and replug and select the bake stage and using the timer feature put enough time on the bake cycle to equal the bake time of your original whole wheat bake stage. That time should be on your page in the manual that shows the length of all the programs.
