I had a dent in the stainless cover so I took out the 8 top screws that were spring loaded figuring I could get a the dent from the inside and pop it out. There's a piece under the 8 screws of the main compartment that dropped into the unit. While trying to get the screws back in and figure a way to get at the part I popped the dent but now the screws don't go in as the piece that holds them in has fallen inside. Anyone know how to open this unit up or have a schematic of some kind? I tried cust serv but they're of no help. It shouldn't be that hard to open up a bread maker.

My friend just passed me the same model for repair. I figured out how to unassemble.

First, remove the pan. It can be remove by pushing down, and twist counter clock wise.

Second, remove 8 screws at the bottom of the base, which are accessible after remove the pan.

Third, remove 2 screws at the side wall, which is above the 8 screws.

You will need short screw driver to remove the side screws.

Forth, remove the 8 screws at the top, which is what you have done
