The paddle is stuck in the breadmaker. I can't get it too shift at all - anyone got any ideas? I've tried soaking it. I've theaded a t towel under and yanking it. i've tried pleading and I've tried swearing - am now out of ideas. Please help as I can't go back to shop bought.

Have you tried soaking it in oil - cooking variety preferably? Or even washing up liquid? Sometimes, pulling it really hard, if it's not being pulled straight, may make things worse if you slightly bend the spindle. I'd go for the cooking oil and instead of pulling hard, try wobbling it to and fro whilst GENTLY pulling it off.

So be gentle, no tugging and use plenty oil...................I'll give it a go. Thanks.0

On mine, which regularly sticks I soak for ten minutes with warm soapy water. Then I ease a teaspoon handle under the blade and then gently lever it up.

I would definitely wiggle it about a bit. It certainly helped with mine (before it died - I haven't got a replacement yet..)0

when mine got stuck last week I stuck some bicarb and vinegar in there - it fizzed off - mind you it's stuck again so why I bothered - I've no idea!!"Start every day off with a smile and get it over with" - W. C. Field.0

If it's like mine be grateful
if mines not firmly stuck on it ends up firmly stuck in the loaf of bread! But rest assured the minute you try to demonstrate how firmly it is stuck to somebody it will come off no problem at all :rotfl: 0 -
Yep mine always gets stuck too. One evening I got so fed up with trying to prise it off that I just left it in the washing up bowl full up with water and washing up liquid. Next morning it came off like a dream and now that's all I have to do, leave it overnight. :j0

The instructions for mine say to put a small amount of cooking oil in the paddle hole before putting on the spindle every time it is used. I use one of those pump sprays and just spray a little inside. My paddle has never stuck and I presume this is why.0

My instruction book says never to leave it in soak for more than ten minutes. I used to anyway - often because I'd simply forget - and sure enough, the bearing seal went and I started getting black muck in my bread.Trying2Save wrote:Yep mine always gets stuck too.

So now I use the trick mentioned above (and set the kitchen timer!) and it works very well.
