Hi everyone. Great work done here. My Panasonic is an SD-ZB2502. Has a separate yeast dispenser. But very similar to the ones here.
Has worked fine for about 2 to 3 years then suddenly started turning out carp loaves, just as described. Got gradually worse until now when baking with rye flour I get a complete disaster that looks like it barely mixed at all.
Looked on a few other forums, then discovered this one. Tried the spindle cleaning bit. Saw the panasonic load of round things about the world flour harvest. Don't know why they do it. Makes them look really incompetent.
My spindle was as described and the machine does run better now I've cleaned it. But I think I will get hold of a Suitable capacitor and try that. Will post back next week with the results and give details of the capacitor I get.
Had this exact problem of capacitor failure on a boiler control board. In this case it had worked for 10 years and was an electrolytic, so no surprise there. This seems a bit of a poor show for Panasonic as they actually make capacitors and this must be a polyester or polypropylene cap. So maybe they under rated it. Didn't allow for the constant stop start surges when the breadmaker does run.
Am checking temperature control as well since this has also come up on other forums, with a less skilled membership. Maybe another red herring. But nice to check.
