I should probably save this for next week when it is backwards WFMW, but I need help now, so I will not wait.I make my bread using my kitchenaid mixer. It does great and even though I have carpel tunnel I can still make homemade bread.
My problem is my husband. He had a bread maker and thinks it is so much easier, but for me it is a pain. I put the thing away and never used it after I read the directions the first time. It has set away for 3 years now with him telling me "how much easier it is with the bread maker". Two weeks ago I dug it out and used a mix to surprise him with the bread. It did not rise much, was heavy and gooey even though I followed the directions. Several days later I tried again only using the recipe in the book with the bread maker. (It was harder than making it with my kitcheraid!) It rose over the top, down into the element and made quite the mess. Of course I did not know since you can't open the thing till it is done! When it started smoking black smoke I knew something was wrong and shut the thing off, but it was too late. I had burnt bread all over the inside.
It is now a week later and I can't get the smell or some of the burnt out of the thing. I set it out side, I have set the bread pan out, but still the smell. The element. or rather behind it, is burnt yet and I can't get it off.
Does anyone have any ideas to help me, or is it ruined?

I'm inclined to think that there was something functionally wrong with the machine in the first place--maybe a bad wire? Why don't you send an e-mail to the company and ask them if they have any ideas.
When my bread machine died, I never replaced it. I have a Kitchenaid too, and haven't tried to make bread yet. But I did make homemade pretzels last week, and it was so easy. I've been planning to make bread--all I have to do is figure out where I put the yeast I bought, LOL!
