- Preparation: Disconnect the bread maker from the power outlet. Place the bread maker on a clean, stable surface.
- Access the Motor Assembly: Carefully open the bread maker casing to access the internal motor and gear assembly. This may involve removing screws from the bottom or back panel. Refer to your bread maker's specific service manual if available.

- Final Check: Plug the bread maker back into the power outlet and perform a short test cycle to verify proper operation.
