Bread Machine Paddle Not Turning?

My wife borrowed our daughter's Oster 5838 bread machine and used it for rolls. She went to use it tonight for more and now the beater paddle won't turn. The shaft in the pan that drives the paddle will not turn. My wife also has an Oster machine and the shaft in the pan of her machine turns by hand. Is there a bearing or 2 in the pan that can be replaced? I see a snap ring on the bottom of the pan, so it looks like it can be taken apart. Are the bearings available?

The timing belt probably broke. I had a similar incident with a bread machine and this is what I did to fix it. Remove the pan and turn machine upside down. Unscrew the 4 rubber feet from the corners and use a screwdriver to remove the bottom screws. Take the metal bottom plate off and take your machine to your local auto parts store and "try on" timing belts until you find one that fits snugly. Put everything back together and you should be good for another 20 years.

Nuts to that answer. The belt is not the problem if the shaft in the pan is stuck. The shaft needs removed from the pan, cleaned and lubed. Yes you remove the snap ring to do it. Try to find some silicone grease.

You want something non-toxic (obviously). Yes I've done this about two dozen times over the years. Eventually the main drive shaft inside the machine also gets stuck and needs the same fix.
