Interesting behavior. I'm pretty sure your Breadman is programmed to
prevent making another loaf until the internal temperature of the
machine stabilizes i.e., cools down. Can it be that you've never tried
making another batch of bread within a few hours after the last? If
you have done this before it might be that the thermostat sensor that
controls this might be spotty. I have experienced this myself and I
think that this machine should be reprogrammed so that it will give
you a prompt that warns you that you cannot bake another loaf until a
waiting period. As it is now, it simulates a dead machine quite
nicely. :-)
