Kenwood Chef > Dough Hook > Loaf Tin > Oven ;)
If the oil you are using doesn't work, I doubt that any other would. Are the shafts meant to be lubricated this way? Have you tried not lubricating the shafts?
My mind set says try a dry powder and dust them with flour or semolina?

Big mixing bowl, two strong hands, marble slab for kneading, oven ! But a breadmaker is simpler :)

Yes, tried both ways. Our previous breadmaker, a Morphy Richards "Accents" Breadmaker was purchased in October 2008, died on New Year's Day 2011 (three months out of warranty) and Morphy Richards flatly refused a goodwill repair or replacement, offering instead a new breadmaker at a "discounted price" of

I remove the paddle while the dough is resting, before it starts to bake, Or you can take the dough out and cook it in the oven.

Do you not think that the liquid (which one pours into the breadmaker before the solids) will be attracted onto the shaft/paddle interface by capillary attraction and then react with the dusting powder to form an even stronger glue ?
Ah yes perhaps, i'm not familiar with the process of using a bread maker. I should have looked online i guess. ::)

Any chance of getting a refund? For an extra 25 quid you could get a PANASONIC SD-256.

Not unless it fails, Chris (because I have used it). But with any luck, that will happen within the 3-year warranty !

I have the panasonic and am quite happy with it.
Before i had a goodmans one and that had a habit of sticking, i just used a piece of wet n dry sandpaper and roughed up the shaft, it never stuck again.

I am beginning to wish I hadn't been such a tightwad, and had bought a better one ...

Nice idea, I may give that a go. I tried the earlier suggestion of not lubricating it all, but one of the two paddles still stuck fast. I have now re-lubricated with sunflower oil, to see if that is any better ...

That used to be my preferred approach but, last year, I was given a bread maker similar to the Lidl one. I did not have high expectations but have been proved wrong. It's effortless compared to the food mixer > oven approach.
I simply leave the paddle where it is until the bread is finished. After I remove the loaf for cooling, I simply dig out the paddle. Sure, it leaves an ugly hole in the bottom of the loaf but so what? I think prior removal, part way through the machine process would be too much effort, for little advantage.
Is that what you mean, or is the problem related to something else?
-
Just out of curiosity, how much of an ugly hole is left in the loaf after the removal of said paddle? Can you still make a presentable sandwich with that part of the loaf?
I'm very reluctant to have yet another redundant effort saving device sat in the kitchen, when the reality is not as good as published. If you get my meaning.

I'll take a photo the next time I make a loaf in one or two days time. To be honest, I normally cut the loaf with the "bottom" positioned to one side when I cut it but I'm not going for neat slices or anything. It's the delicious flavour which I rate. No loaf lasts long. I think it normally turns out one of two ways when I tip the tin upside down to extract the baked loaf. Either the paddle comes out still inside the loaf or, sometimes, the paddle is left behind. It makes little difference to me. I don't view my machine as either redundant or failing to live up to expectations.

Thanks George, I look forward to the pics. I must admit, they do sound appealing, i'm just airing on the side of caution as I have several redundant kitchen 'time savers' rusting away. Time for a spring clear out me thinks.

Just a word of warning -- avoid the current batch of composters like the plague. I am about to return a second, having returned my first earlier this morning : there were moulding defects, allowing the access doors to fly off under load rather than slide securely up and down as intended. Anybody want a Lidl breadmaker, used twice ? No reasonable offer refused.
