My breadman didn't work for awhile. I unplugged it for a couple weeks and it started to work. The only problem is that now I can only use the basic white cycle. The select button doesn't work. Any idea's?
Thanks,
Jenni
The microprocessor in the keypad probably needs to be reset. With the unit unplugged, remove the keypad housing (one screw in back, one on the left side, rock it up enough to get a small screwdriver inside, then push back the soft plastic fingers to release the housing -- force it a bit, you won't break it). You do not need to remove the bottom cover.
Remove the keypad cover (4 screws) and the PC board (one screw). You'll see a factory reset button near the middle of the left side. Press and hold that for a couple of seconds.
If you want to test the unit before re-assembly, hold the PC board so it doesn't short against anything (there's nothing more than 5v on the board, so you won't get shocked), and plug the unit in. The display should appear. Unplug the unit, re-assemble, and then bake some bread!
There is also the possibility that the backup battery on this PC board is bad. Check it with a voltmeter -- it should be about 5v.
Addressing Power-up/Start-up Issues:
1. Unplug the breadmaker.
2. Confirm the power source your accessing is live using a blender, toaster, etc.
3. Plug the breadmaker in.
4. Confirm the breadmaker is receiving power:
3. No, you were not able to confirm that your breadmaker is receiving power? Sorry to hear that. Attempt to have the breadmaker serviced by a small appliance repair facility or discard it.
4. Yes, you have confirmed that your breadmaker is receiving power? Fantastic! Now reset the breadmaker by pressing down on the Start button until you notice a visible and/or audible confirmation, usually within 5 to 10 seconds. Note: It bears mentioning again at this point that some models require you press the Select button first to select a mode, then press the Start button.

Breadman Ultimate Bread Maker. Problem: Plug the breadman in, and green "warm' light comes on. The machine does not heat up or go through any cycles. Key pad will not work.
