Oh No! My bread hasn't baked.

I made soup in slow cooker and left breadmaker on, just come back and I think the machine has broken. its making a whirlling noise and nothing else has happened.
It is rather old, about 10yrs now. Just had a Google and can't believe how many there are now and how expensive they are.
Any ideas for me on buying a good reliable , reasonably cheap one?
I know loads of people on here use them, does anyone pop up time & time again for being good?
Thanks in advance

I thought mine was broken a while back but I'd just forgotten to put the paddle on! It's not that with yours is it?

Edit: Mine is a Morphy Richards Fastbake Cooltouch... I love it, it's never let me down (except when I forgot to put salt in once!!)

Edit edit: If yours is really knackered, there's one like mine going cheap on ebay second hand with 2 days to go, if you're near enough to pick it up - I bet lots of people will have suggestions for others though and you might possibly even find a freecycle one.

I was just going to say make sure your paddle is in properly If it's making whirring noises then don't give up on it yet

I forgot the paddle once on my Panny, it's easily done.
Can you rescue your bread, maybe do it in the oven.

If you do need a new one, look at car boot sales. I bought one recently for £2 in perfect working order, in fact it looks like it had only been used once or twice!

True MSE, I rescued the bread and thought the paddle was in but I'll give it another go to make sure.
Thank you
