No matter the recipe I choose, the bread resulting from meticulous attention to ingredients is always very dry duing the kneading process, mealy and dense once cooking is complete. When I first got my BBCC-X20 I could layer the ingredients, set the cycle and crust and walk away until the beeping indicated end of cycle and be assured of a great loaf of bread. Now, I must babysit the process through both kneading steps and the bread still turns ouf substandard. What is going on?

Hi, If you are doing everything as before and not getting the desired results then it could be that the belts are slipping and not allowing the paddles to fully incorporate all the ingredients. Either that or the paddles themselves are sticking and not moving freely. The belt problem is an easy fix but if the paddles are sticking then it could be the sealed bearings the paddles rotate in is failing and a new bread pan is needed. To check this, take the empty pan and paddles out of the machine and see if you can turn the paddles freely by hand. if no then the sealed bearings are failing. If they turn okay then it could be the belts. Belts and motor are located in the base of the machine. Unplug machine before checking them. Also, make sure the pan is seated correctly in the machine.
