Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Bread does not rise or rises poorly. | Expired yeast, incorrect water temperature, too much salt/sugar, yeast not dispensed properly. | Check yeast expiration date. Use lukewarm water (105-115°F). Ensure correct ingredient measurements. Clean yeast dispenser. |
| Bread is too dense or heavy. | Too much flour, too little liquid, insufficient kneading. | Accurately measure ingredients, especially flour. Ensure the kneading blade is properly installed. |
| Bread collapses during baking. | Too much liquid, too much yeast, high humidity. | Reduce liquid slightly. Ensure correct yeast amount. Adjust recipe for high humidity. |
| Loud noise during operation. | Bread pan not properly seated, foreign object inside. | Ensure bread pan is securely locked in place. Check for any obstructions. |
| Ingredients not mixing properly. | Kneading blade not installed, too much dough. | Verify kneading blade is on the shaft. Do not exceed maximum ingredient capacity. |
