Our bread maker which is used at least once a day by Alison started to make more and more noises when working. It got to the point when it wasn't only squeaking any more it started to 'clunk'!!! After spending a while trying to take it apart I gave up and looked on YouTube. I found a video explaining cutting the bottom out of the bread maker which worked to gain access. When inside I found the main bearing had worn into an oval shape and the shaft was flopping about. You can sort of see the oval shape of the hole in this picture.
I removed the old bearing and replaced it with one that I made on the lathe out of brass.
A week later the bread maker is still working so all looks good so far!
