When i put in the baking pan, the kneading blade does not move

If you baked bread in it and cannot get the paddle free, put enough water in the pan to cover the paddle and let it set for 5 or 10 min to soak the bread crust that formed between the shaft and the paddle. Then take a hold of the shaft on bottom of pan with hand or pliers to hold it still and try to work the paddle clockwise with other hand until it becomes unwedged from shaft. Sometimes it gets wedged on shaft pretty tight due to the beating against dough ball and cooked bread holds it tightly wedged.

Another possibility is that the two prongs that couple the motor in the base with the rotor in the baking pan can slightly bend when kneading heavy breads. This slant can create a force that pushes the pan upward while kneading. This is the same principle as rotating a vertically mounted screw causes it moving up or down. A simple solution is to use pliers to slightly bend the prongs in the direction of rotation to make them exactly perpendicular to the rotation plane. The prongs should be visible when the baking pan is removed. There is a well in the center of the base and inside that well there is an S shaped blade mounted on the spindle of the motor, which the ends of the S bent at 90 degrees upward. Those two ends push the two arms of the rotor in the baking pan. You should first determine the direction of the rotation by starting the machine (it is clockwise in my machine), and then grab each upward end of the S-blade with pliers and bend it slightly in the SAME direction as the assembly rotates.

Hi, You can take the kneading blade out of the machine after the last kneading cycle and before the final rise. Take the pan out of the machine to do this just to be on the safe side, Hank

Hi,
There is a sealed bearing at the bottom of the pan. This allows the paddle to rotate. The bearing has failed and is falling apart. This usually happens with age or use. Time for a new bread pan. If you are lucky you can find one on ebay. Sorry for the bad news....Hank

you don't! It stays attached to the pan and slides easily out when you finish baking. Perhaps not the nicest looking feature of the bread, but who's looking at it anyway??

Hi,
You can take the paddle out of the bread pan after the last kneading cycle and before final rise. Do this rather quickly if you don't have a pause feature so you don't lose any rising time.

Take the bread pan out of the machine, put dough in a bowl, remove paddle, put dough back in pan, put pan back in machine.

Some people suggested to spray a small squirt of olive oil on the shaft to prevent sticking.

I have Breadman Ultimate for over 12 years now. I make bread 2-3 times a week for the past 10 years. I found that the bread pan popping out only happens when the motor shaft and the kneading paddle are not tightly engaged. I find this problem in the following two scenarios: 1. The bread pan was not pushed down all the way as described by cassie_hobbs and tlcquiltnut. 2. Debris filled up the motor-shaft bowl underneath the bread pan to prevent a tight engagement of the motor shaft and the kneading paddle. These debris are generated during the kneading process; part of the ingredients is pushed out of the shallow horizontal pan and accumulated underneath. To avoid the problem, I have to periodically remove debris from the shaft bowl and make sure the pan pushed all the way down. To reduce the debris, I made a simple cover for the bread pan by cutting an old aluminum baking dish. I always remove the cover after the kneading cycle to prevent the rising dough from reaching the bottom of the cover. Hope this helps. Wendy

Hi Jessica,

As I read the manual, under the Care & Cleaning section,

"2. If the kneading blades remain in the bread pan, grip the kneading blade and
pull straight up to remove......"

Based on the diagrams and instructions, I don't think you're supposed to pull the blades before baking...why do you want them out? Cosmetics?

If I can be of further assistance, let me know. If this solves the issue, please rate it accordingly.

Thanks in-advance for using Fixya.com,

Rather than pulling out the paddles , pull out the dough and bake it in regular bread pans in your oven.

Watch/listen to the machine your machine. After the last knead cycle, remove the paddle from the bake pan before the dough rises, continue to bake as normal.
