Plug your machine in and push the menu button again and again are the numbers changing from program to program? If not push the start/stop button with no ingredients in it and if it starts kneading wait a few seconds then push the start/stop button again UNTIL IT BEEPS AND STOPS. Unplug the machine and plug it in again and the program 1 should show again, just push the Menu button until you see the number 9 program. Did that work?
If you have chosen whole wheat setting (and even on some machines just regular white bread) your machine may not start mixing immediately. They warm the ingredients first. Black and Decker machines are like that. If your machine hasn't started mixing within 1/2 after you pushed the start button then you have problem. Give it at least that half hour before assuming there is something wrong. The clicking sound you hear is the heating element gently warming to get the ingredients to the perfect temperature.
If you just finished baking a loaf your machine won't let you bake another one until it has cooled off. Otherwise the next loaf wouldn't come out right. Always open the lid on you machine and let it cool off for about 1/2 hour before starting a 2nd loaf.
with your machine unplugged turn it on its side so you can get to the panel on the bottom of the machine and remove it. Is your drive belt between the two pulley wheels off, broken, or missing? Let's check that first and then for parts go to the breadmachineshelp.com website.
If your Cuisinart bread machine is not baking the bread properly, there could be a few potential causes for the issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to identify and resolve the problem:
1. Check the Bread Pan: Ensure that the bread pan is properly inserted into the machine and securely locked in place. Make sure it is centered and seated correctly.
2. Check the Kneading Paddle: Verify that the kneading paddle is properly installed in the bread pan. It should be securely attached to the spindle at the bottom of the bread pan.
3. Use Fresh Ingredients: Ensure that you are using fresh and high-quality ingredients, including flour, yeast, and other additives. Old or expired ingredients can affect the bread's rising and baking process.
4. Verify Yeast Activation: Make sure that the yeast you are using is active and not expired. Test the yeast by dissolving it in warm water with a small amount of sugar. If it doesn't become foamy and bubbly within a few minutes, the yeast may be inactive, and you should replace it.
5. Check the Program Settings: Confirm that you have selected the correct program for the type of bread you are making. Different programs have different settings for kneading, rising, and baking. Make sure you are using the appropriate program for your recipe.
6. Monitor the Dough: Throughout the kneading and rising process, observe the dough to ensure it is properly formed and rising. If the dough seems too dry or too wet, adjust the recipe accordingly by adding small amounts of flour or water.
7. Inspect the Heating Element: If the bread machine completes the cycle but the bread is not baked, there may be an issue with the heating element. Inspect the heating element for any signs of damage or malfunction. If it appears faulty, it may need to be replaced. In such cases, contacting Cuisinart customer support or a qualified technician for further assistance is recommended.
By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve common issues that may prevent your Cuisinart bread machine from properly baking the bread.
If the steamer function is not working on your Cuisinart steamer/convection oven, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Check Power and Settings: Ensure that the steamer/convection oven is properly connected to a power source and turned on. Make sure you have selected the correct steaming function and set the desired time and temperature.
2. Water Level: Check the water level in the steaming reservoir or water tank. Some steamers require a minimum amount of water to generate steam. Ensure that the water level meets the manufacturer's recommended guidelines.
3. Water Reservoir Placement: Confirm that the water reservoir is correctly placed in the steamer/convection oven. It should be securely seated in its designated position.
4. Steam Vent: Ensure that the steam vent or release valve is not blocked or obstructed. Any blockage in the steam vent can prevent steam from being released properly. Clean any debris or buildup that may be affecting the vent.
5. Steam Function Timing: Some steamers require preheating before steam is generated. Consult the user manual to determine if the steamer/convection oven requires preheating and for how long. Allow sufficient time for the steamer to reach the appropriate temperature.
6. Clean the Steamer: If the steamer has not been used for an extended period, it may have accumulated mineral deposits or limescale. Clean the steamer according to the manufacturer's instructions to remove any buildup that could be affecting its performance.
7. Contact Cuisinart Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's recommended to reach out to Cuisinart customer support for further assistance. They can provide specific troubleshooting steps for your model or advise on potential hardware issues that may require repair or replacement.
When contacting customer support, provide them with the model number, a detailed description of the issue, and any troubleshooting steps you have already attempted. This information will help them assist you more effectively.

I've just fixed my ck17 which had similar symtoms. There are 2 electrolytic capacitors in the controller board, which I replaced. It's very close to the bottom of the kettle where the elements is,and they are only rated at 105degrees, .one of them had evidence of leaking, so I replaced.them both, with higher voltage ones ,also rated at 105degrees.
1000uf 6.3v replaced with 1000uf 16v
47uf 25v replaced with 47uf 50v
Hi,
Please check whether this issue persists with lower viscosity dough. It could be the pressure and/or thickness of the dough that's causing the disconnection. Or it your device is over a certain age you might need to replace the mixing paddle or replace the part that holds it still within the bread maker. You can call Cuisinart to ask if there has been a recall due to this as well. Their phone number is 1-800-726-0190
Thank you.
