Is it worth taking a breadmaker machine in to be repaired?

August 28th, 2009 admin

The paddle on my breadmaker machine is leaking silicone grease (or whatever that sticky gross black stuff is.) Is this kind of thing repairable? If so, where should I take it? How much would it cost?

Thanks for your input.
Can’t afford to buy a new one, and I don’t trust things that have been donated to Salvation Army/ Goodwill, etc. Need to repair it, or live without homemade bread.

No I would reccommend a heavy duty Stand mixer

It will last longer and be more versitile. The bread machines are more limiting. A properly kneaded bread dough and a functional oven are way easier and allow more variety.

   I got mine at the Salvation Army resale shop for $5. Worked for years. Still working. My buddy did same. Any repair will cost more than that. I plug in an check to see if paddle moves. When they break this is the most common problem. They will exchange if it doesn’t work.
