Hi Guys
The Bread Maker in question is a Morphy Richards Model 48290. The last time it worked before repair, the machine was working fine, then mysteriously began to cough. The coughing, was intermittent but became worse and worse until the machine came to a grinding halt, and all that was left was a whine and a whirr from the motor.
The dough was removed to the oven, and resulted in the loaf becoming transformed into four bread rolls. I could not face investigating the reason for the machine failure after all the hassle, so waited until the morrow when I had calmed down.
