The kneading blade on the Panasonic bread makers is designed to fit loosely. If the dough is 'stiff' the kneading blade may stay in the bread when the loaf is removed from the pan. Allow the bread to cool completely before removing the blade carefully. Some types of flour absorb more water than others, so you can try adding an extra 10 - 20ml of water next time to see if this results in a slightly less 'stiff' dough.
This problem can also be caused if crust has built up underneath the blade. Make sure to wash the blade and its spindle after each use.
Trust this is helpful. Thank you for using FixYa!
The paddle is "jumping" off the spindle before the mixing process is complete. Could this be just a worn paddle?

Yes it could be a problem with a worn paddle but it may also be related to the 'stiffness' of the dough. Try adjusting the flour/water level to decrease the stiffness of the dough to see if this makes a difference.
If not, with your model number, you may be able to order a replacement kneading blade here:
