As I recall, we just replaced it because the bread pan started bugging us, and a new bread pan was almost as expensive as a new machine. We also had to replace the nut dispenser (twice I think over 7 years), so we figured that might be due for replacement as well and we'd better just get a new machine. The old one was still working though.

Re the non-stick coating, ours is still very good, although I find it's better to simply not bother washing the pan ... just shake off whatever's loose. The paddle never used to get left in the loaf but just recently it's started to happen. The paddle has a couple of scratches on it and I think the loaf sort of bakes itself into them.

Hmm. Good point regarding not washing. I never wash my frying pans with soap (just hot water) to keep the natural non-stick layer. The same may well apply to the bread pan.
