We have the same unit. The mixing paddles will start to rotate in about 10 - 15 minutes after the START button is pressed. The unit is a good machine , however, it has a weak spot in that the second paddle is slave driven by the other by a flat belt. We have found that after a few months it'll start to slip and not rotate as much when the dough gets thick. Anyone out there with this minor problem?.
