Have had our Sunbeam bread machine for 16 months and the bread starting turning our usual mix into a collapsed hard loaf. Used a temperature gauge during the cycles and found that during the last rising the temperature inside swung between 95 and 110 degrees. How do we fix a busted thermostat or whatever controls temperature?

Hi
I do not know what the correct temperature range should be, but may I suggest a trying new batch of fresh yeast. ( Just in case you batch has absorbed some moisture, preventing it rising. )

Have tested our yeast and it's fine. Ideal rising temperature is between 75-85 degrees. At 95-110, it rises too fast, then the yeast literally runs out of gas and the loaf collapses. Still need advice on fixing haywire thermostat.
Hi,
I have a model 5891 and a modle 5833 and both are doing the exact same thing.
I had thought that the program had changed and the paddle turns just enough to colapse the dough then the machine starts cooking the colapsed dough which is an absolute mess.
I am trying a reduced amount of yeast, 1-3/4 teaspoon, for my 7th attempt. I have tried changing everything else except the yeast on the previous 6 attempts.
I am pretty sure that greatrive 5 is correct and the hightened temperature is the cause of the problem.
I will know in the morning when I wake up.
