Problems with the resource and with the service of Hitachi bread makers

How to make a seal yourself.

Attention! This is just my hypothesis - I haven't tried it. But I think it should work. Epoxy parts were obtained.
You need to take plasticine, knead it and press into it either the damaged gasket (seal) itself, or something suitable in size and shape. Using a manicure tool (pulling off unnoticed from your wife or girlfriend), you need to restore the recess in the plasticine to get such a mold for casting. Clean the tool from plasticine and put it back in place.

Directly into this form, you need to carefully pour silicone high-temperature sealant, which is sold in tubes at auto dealerships. Straight from the tube and pour. Wait a day, let it freeze well. Then dip the plasticine into very warm water to soften and pull out the finished gasket (seal) from it, wipe it off with a cloth from the remains of the plasticine, periodically dipping it into hot water for a dozen seconds. You will receive any shape of silicone rubber seal. Then it must be boiled in water for at least half an hour in order to remove the remnants of chemistry, but so that the gum does not touch the bottom of the dish. This will be enough to keep the rubber band safe and can be used to seal the shaft of the bread machine.

I'll try to seal it with a red high temperature silicone sealant from an auto parts store. And then knead water without dough (repeatedly), maybe there will be no smell.

Silicone sealant has high adhesion (adhesion) to metal, even oily. There is a danger of sticking to the shaft. If there is a possibility of dismantling, it is better to make a gasket.

Duduk, or maybe try (as an option) to change the order of bookmarking products?
In your hitachi, in my opinion, below is water, on top of flour. Do the opposite:
yeast-flour-liquid.
I don’t remember who wrote on the forum that I tried it this way and that, it didn’t affect the test.
Then the water will not flow out (flour will not), and the dough is thick enough to flow.
In the meantime, finally decide what to do with the "leak".

I would not recommend experimenting with a sealant (by the way, red is the most poisonous), as well as with grease, epoxy, etc.
Understand that you are not fixing shoes, but a bread maker. Then you will eat this sealant, I apologize. I'm not talking about Teflon peeling off the scapula and bucket (it's still a carcinogen!). Therefore, there are three options for action.
1. Buy a spare part. If the replacement cost is a third of a new bread machine, that's okay. Marketing - p.
2. Buy a new Hitachka. 200 euros is not that much. I did just that and have no regrets.
3. For those for whom it is expensive - buy another model. Cheaper, then to part without regret.

Thank you very much for the recommendations. Play a little with the bucket and buy a new container. The red sealant scares me (maybe because it's red).

The red sealant scares me (maybe because it's red).

The color in this sealant is the most harmless. You cannot touch it with your bare hands - it will ruin your skin. And sniff - too ...The sealant is used ONLY on fixed joints. On moving ones - it is impossible because of its high adhesion.
And you cannot use grease in a bucket, I already wrote about this: it is not needed for bronze bearings, and grease will not protect against leaks, even more so. All you can achieve with lubrication is its presence in bread ...
Those who advise sculpting molds from plasticine should be upset: even if you had a super-duper harmless heat-resistant sealant at your disposal, you would not make an oil seal out of it. The technology will not allow achieving alignment and flat surface. By the way, a new oil seal costs 60 rubles.

What kind of oil seal and where to get it? Where does this infa come from?

I already wrote on a branch about the oil seal - this is a rubber ring with a metal washer, which is inserted into the bottom of the bucket. I bought it the year before last in a workshop / shop that specializes in the repair of imported equipment. Together with a new scapula (the scapula was more expensive, I don't remember the exact amount) The new oil seal did not solve the problem, because it did not hold up when working in a bucket. The reason was not a bad oil seal, but the wear of the bearing, due to which the shaft "walked" a little. Having fiddled with the mechanism, I went and stupidly bought a new typewriter, which I do not regret at all. Next time I will not change the oil seal, but the bucket assembly, since the Teflon on it and on the blade has its own service life, which is probably not worth exceeding.

1) I would not recommend experimenting with a sealant (by the way, red is the most poisonous), as well as with grease, epoxy, etc.
2) I'm not talking about Teflon peeling off the scapula and bucket (it's still a carcinogen!).

1) Epoxy is really poisonous, no one advised to use it for food equipment. And where does this information about silicone sealant come from ??? A source? Haven't you heard of silicone bakeware and other products?

2) This is a 100% erroneous statement that does not correspond to reality. Teflon is the import name for PTFE fluoropolymer, or fluoroplastic in our opinion. It is one of the most inert substances on Earth. Vascular prostheses and details of joint prostheses are made of it, which serve for decades. It simply cannot enter into chemical reactions, does not react with any of the strongest acids, or alkalis, and in general with anything other than fluorine, and therefore cannot and does not possess ANY carcinogenic effect. It has existed for decades, and is very well tested.

[elastic]

In organosilicon (silicone) sealant, before it hardens, there is a "terrible" substance - acetic acid. The one that in diluted form is called vinegar. If you boil the made gasket well, and in soda, there will be no trace of nasty vinegar. Silicone itself is also inert and is used in the food industry and medicine.

And now about the alignment: tell me WHY is this elastic to the stuffing box strict alignment and smoothness of the surface ??? The rubber band, pressed with little force to the smooth shaft, is slightly deformed and adheres tightly to it, sealing it. The friction of silicone rubber on smooth metal is relatively low, moreover, with such ridiculous shaft revolutions - 100 revolutions per minute. Silicone, like Teflon (fluoroplastic), works up to a temperature of +200 degrees Celsius. In bread makers, the maximum is 130-135, not more, but in reality - less.

In short, whoever has a problem with the oil seal there, there is no way to buy it and you do not want to buy a new stove because of a penny part - try to make an oil seal. Yesterday morning I poured some gum in plasticine. Day for freezing - and an excellent detail is ready.I went to work today for a serious apparatus and passed the test. If the plasticine form is neat, then it turns out great. The method works.

You see. If you are sure that nothing but benefit will come from bread with formaldehyde for you and your children, it's up to you. But please do not recommend such things to others. By the way, read the letters on the tube with the "red" sealant more closely - it says in English and white that Sealant releases acetic acid (vinegar-like odor) ... The sealant is high-temperature ... Bon appetit ... Would you rather " The moment "with epoxy to repair the bucket was offered ...

Good Lord ... for some reason you write about formaldehyde (???), But give completely different "English in white" letters from the instructions, which I will also translate to you:

"Sealant releases acetic acid (vinegar-like odor)" means:

"The sealant gives off acetic acid (vinegar smell)."

Vinegar (by itself it is not terrible and is in your kitchen) can be removed from the finished seal by boiling in water with soda, it will disappear. The only remark: you cannot use a sealant that has a fungicidal effect - this applies to some construction sealants, but they are unsuitable as gaskets. And "moments-epoxy", as you say (read carefully), I strongly DO NOT recommend.

But let's not quarrel - if it is possible to replace the seal - good. Of course, you can buy a new stove. But if it is not possible to purchase, you can try to make a seal.

I will quarrel with you - for the only reason: your proposal can adversely affect someone's health. This is not a joke. And you are wrong about the "safety" of Teflon. Teflon is safe as long as it is intact. Dishes with peeling Teflon cannot be used.

You are incompetent and stubbornly say stupid things. Peeling Teflon? Can you think logically or not? Take a piece of fluoride (Teflon), which is inert by itself, and break it in half. Or scratch. HE WILL BECOME POISONOUS FROM THIS ??? Your plumbing uses Teflon seals that scratch every time you turn the faucet handle. Is the water getting poisonous ???
Why Teflon Coating? To prevent food from sticking. If the Teflon peels off, the food will stick. That's the whole difference.

For that matter, Teflon is GENERALLY recognized by some EPA organization as harmful, because when American "scientists" (obviously, like you) fed mice with crushed Teflon (!!!), the mice got sick. I wonder if a person drinks 3 buckets of water a day and gets sick from this, is water considered harmful ???

That's it, I'm stopping the stupid argument. Usually I am ready to give clear arguments "FOR" or "AGAINST". If you do not have such, everything that you claim is unfounded, and an argument with you is a transfusion from empty to empty.

Dap interesting in your communication. I will now pay attention to the letters on the tube. Or maybe there are other options for resolving this issue?

What else can you do? The stuffing box is leaking. Either change it, or buy the bucket in which it is installed, or another stove.

It is you, dear incompetent. Peeling Teflon gets into your body with food. Consider this useful - for God's sake. Automotive sealant, which you so zealously praise, but not clearly unsuitable for rotating joints, will also go not somewhere, but into the body. I repeat for the gifted: you yourself can at least eat glue. But I will not allow the health of other people to be ruined. Did I make myself clear?

Teflon does not dissolve either in sulfuric acid, or in nitric acid, or in their mixture - "aqua regia", which dissolves almost everything. It does not dissolve in any alkali. Nothing sticks to it. Therefore, once it gets into your precious body, it will safely come out of it. He cannot do any harm at all and in any way! Do not mislead people, as you stubbornly repeat the songs of manufacturers who urge you to buy a new saucepan or frying pan (a bucket from a bread machine or even a new HP) as soon as a scratch appears on it.

I have not recommended ALL sealants, including automotive, for food contact applications. Those that cannot be used in such cases are MANDATORY marked: they write there, like on epoxy - BOTTOM! You just need to read and understand what you are reading. And if it is not written, then it is possible, because even baby pacifiers are made of silicone rubber (and the sealant is made of it). They are usually given to capricious and stubborn toddlers. And I would also give some elderly uncles!

A regiment of seekers for hitachki buckets arrived - and there were no buckets yet? Or maybe someone found a way to solve this problem?

Hello! I decided to buy a new bucket. It costs about 2,000 rubles. and delivery, on order, in 3 months.

Hello! I decided to buy a new bucket. It costs about 2,000 rubles. and delivery, on order, in 3 months.

And let's look for a domestic company that sprays Teflon on products for the food industry - all sorts of baking sheets, forms, etc.! It is quite possible, and such firms EXACTLY exist. Technologically, the restoration of buckets is a simple operation.
I think that the problem of restoring buckets may be relevant for many site visitors. If not now, then in the future.And most importantly, it is a matter of lead time, which, as I understand it, exceeds 3 months. Well, almost 100 dollars (does it take Hitachi service so much or others too ???) for a new aluminum bucket - that's too much. My stove cost almost the same, $ 113.

If someone discovers such a firm and such an opportunity, let everyone know. It is irrational and inconsistent to throw functional household appliances into a landfill due to the failure of a single simple part. In the end, it would be wiser to repair the bucket and give the stove to someone else (it will still serve) if you think that it is morally outdated.

Then it's better to buy a new bread maker. What if something breaks in this one? The new one is still better.

With the new bucket, nothing good came out. Upon learning that the stove was more than 7 years old, they refused. Now I want a new panasonic 255 stove, but it is not yet in Moscow.
Good luck.

I am very pleased with my Panasonic. And my friend from Moscow brought a Panasonic 255 on Thursday. Do you want this? Are you in Moscow?

Dear animals Duduk and 3ay4ik!
Look at the topic title and say something helpful about Hitachi.

I am a young internet user, although I am already over sixty. Sorry if something is wrong.
My wife and I bought a bread maker when I was still working and could spend money.
And now I don’t understand some people who are talking about some 200 dollars. All the same, the topic is about problems with the resource of bread makers and not about how to buy a new one. And in this sense, I warmly support Alen Delongi in his desire to solve the problem and not run away from it. Our HITACHI HB-103 faithfully fed us bread for more than two years, and then everything went along the path you know. A friend of mine brought a branded oil seal from St. Petersburg, I don’t know how he did it. Realizing that the oil seal would not last long on the old axle, I turned the bearing sleeve using a reamer to a new size, and then made a new axle from stainless steel. The bread maker worked for another year and a half. Attempts to buy the oil seal again did not lead to anything, by the way, it was not possible to buy a new pan either. When visiting a service center in St. Petersburg, they also demanded a complete bread maker, a complete set, and I came from Veliky Novgorod without it. In their hometown, they did not talk about this at all. Now I will try to use the advice of Alen Delongi, I will make an oil seal from silicone, by the way silicones are different. There are silicones with the smell of vinegar, they are not recommended for use in contact with metals due to their acidity, there are silicones with a neutral reaction, there are with fillers and there are without. In my opinion, the best option would be neutral silicone without filler. Everything is written on the packaging.
Now I want to say a little about bearing lubrication. As for me, I did not lubricate, not until after the repair. The bearing sleeve is made of bronze graphite, and this material does not require additional lubrication. In the manufacture of the material for the bushing, bronze-graphite is saturated with grease under high pressure. And during operation, it releases it, so the usual lubrication procedure does not give a long-term effect. Now about what kind of lubricant to use. It seems to me all the same which one, if only it was relatively heat-resistant. We forget that with a good oil seal, contact with bread is excluded, and with a bad one, no lubricant will help.
And finally, about Teflon, some people think that Teflon enters our body from a certain time, but it seems to me that we start using it from the moment we baked the first bread. In this case, we can talk about whether the loaf will be baked to the bucket or not. And if you are afraid (of poisoning) with Teflon, then you do not need to buy a bread maker, and with it, pans and everything that is covered with this (poison) Teflon.

I respect people who spit on their age and master new frontiers without fear!
God help you (in making the oil seal and prolonging the life of Hitachi)!

Hello. I just want to share my experience in making a new silicone oil seal.
I'll start from afar.The problem with increasing the resource of the bucket, as it seems to me, is the impossibility
periodic maintenance of the bearing and the agitator shaft. Of course, you can disassemble, but the oil seal after
of this procedure does not hold well in the seat, and this is not necessary for us. What if you make a knot
collapsible, without pressing out the oil seal. What will it give.? Since the assembly is collapsible, there is no problem
grease, it will be possible to grease with ordinary vegetable or butter, and finally with lard. Axis
rotates during the preparatory stage without high temperature, and during the next baking, the axis can
grease again, having previously removed the remaining grease from the previous baking. Thus, we
we prevent burn-on on the axle, which increases each time and leads to rapid damage to the oil seal.
The axis of the agitator is fixed in the bearing with a stopper on the side of the stuffing box, and a drive fork, which in its
the queue is fixed on the axis with a retaining ring. Dismantling such a unit is laborious and not for everyone
under the force. My suggestion is to remove the stopper between the oil seal and the bearing. So the axis
it will be possible to dismantle it by simply pulling it down on the drive yoke without dismantling the stuffing box. The node will
open and available for service. You can collect all this simply by inserting the axle into place, after having lubricated it.
But the axis can move down, and to prevent this from happening, you need to lengthen the lower part of the axis by an amount
backlash to the axis of the lower drive.
This is all theory and what is in practice? I want to warn you right away that everything that has been said applies to those bakers at
which problems with the oil seal and the axle. so to the point. First I turned the bearing sleeve using a reamer
up to 11 mm. As I already wrote this is the second repair. The first time I unrolled it 10.5 mm. Then
made a new axle, but without a groove for a stopper, with an elongated lower part by the amount of backlash. In the photo it is
good visibility.
For the manufacture of an oil seal, a template (made of fluoroplastic) is needed, which is inserted instead of the axis, but with a diameter
the gland is one millimeter less, in this case 9 mm. The place of landing of the oil seal (in a bucket) you need
wash well and degrease. Then fill the resulting cavity with silicone, smoothing the silicone surface with a knife
the correct size by soaking it in soapy water. In a day, we dismantle the template and the oil seal is ready. (For
good polymerization of silicone, a moist and warm environment is desirable, or extend the period up to 2 days) Then you need to boil it in a suitable container by lowering a bucket there. I just don't know how to attach a photo to my opus.
If you still see it, then on the left is the template, in the middle is the previous axis (analogue of the Firm) and on the right is the axis
the last, working version. It's too early to say that everything is OK, but two baked goods have already been completed and expectations are being met, time will tell. I will unsubscribe at least in a month with a total. Good luck to all !

Hello! Can anyone advise me on what to do? A month ago I bought a Hitachi 103 stove and now I lost the mixer (I will warn you the question "where" and "how" - I don’t know! I was told that there has been no Hitachi service in St. Petersburg for 5 years. What should I do? "Or in another city? I would send the money in advance. Help, please! I can't live without a stove!"

Ken. Thanks for the information.
So this is what this beast (oil seal) looks like in the photo.
I made an order, unsubscribe after receiving and installing.

But when I was choosing HP, I was guided by the availability of spare parts and spare buckets on sale! That is why I chose my Panaska! In my opinion, the logic is to provide the people with spare parts - this is a direct increase in the number of those wishing to purchase HP from this manufacturer.

Hello everyone!
I ordered an oil seal and a bucket for my Hitachi HB - E303 bread machine on the website 🔗... The bucket was in stock, it just wasn't in the catalog yet. Both a bucket and an oil seal were sent very quickly. Well done! I'm glad. Next time I will definitely contact them right away.

Thanks a lot to the author for this post. Please, do not remove this section from the administrators, since neither Google nor Yandex provide links to requests for spare parts for bread makers.
I ordered 2 oil seals by email at once. Suddenly, another one will fail, still not her own, which was given during the manufacture. True, for some reason, the manager has not called back, but the order went through and even the number was indicated.

So I got these 2 oil seals. I paid 1000 rubles for 2 oil seals, plus the shipment of almost 450 rubles, a total of 1450 rubles, came home, opened the parcel and, as they say, shed a tear.
1st. It was written on the site that they send these oil seals simultaneously with food lubricant. Not a single gram of grease was sent.
2nd and most important. The oil seals turned out to be small even if you just look at them visually. But we still put them on. As expected, the water poured into the bucket flowed in large drops.
At the same time, oddly enough, the package included a "memo to the buyer when using original rechargeable batteries of various types." Hence, the question arose: maybe they sent me the wrong oil seal?
I wrote my complaints about this store.
A week later, they sent me an answer that the head of the department would contact me.
But so far no one wants to contact me.
Maybe someone will tell you how I can put pressure on them?
After all, now there is uncertainty in the orders of these oil seals and on other sites? Although on their website they write that the oil seals on the Hitacchi HB-E303 and 301 are the same?

I have a Hitachi HB-B301 bread maker, my relatives gave it to the country. The dough mixer does not work in it, although the electrical part plows excellently, tried to fix it. I disassembled it, it turned out to be a jammed belt, I will buy it in an online store. And what an oil seal is and should it be there and where to put it, I cannot understand. Respond those who tried to establish and give life a second time to "their helper."

Hello everyone, now I also have the same hemorrhoids with a stove, I need a bucket mixer and an oil seal with grease. ((((((

I ordered both an oil seal and a bucket on this site a couple of years ago. 🔗 They sent what you need and very quickly. Also wondered about the lubrication. It turns out she (in the sense of a lubricant) is already inside the oil seal.The husband himself installed the oil seal on the old bucket. So the old bucket is used and I keep the new one in stock in case I need to bake a second loaf right away.
But now I ran into another problem. A ring burst inside the bread machine itself (a black ring on the axis with two protrusions, which rotates the axis and, accordingly, the stirrer inside the bucket. I did not find such a spare part in the store's catalog. called?

Is it useless to search, no more parts are produced for it?

krakosha, try to order on this site. I think that your pessimism will be dispelled. I’m afraid of my problem that I’ll be upset. And I hope so. I will not buy it, so maybe my husband and local craftsmen will be able to carve the necessary part. But no, for a start I will try to find a used bread maker for spare parts. If I can't find it, I'll have to change Hitachi and buy Panasonic. It's a pity. The stove was really decent. I love her very much and she was an excellent worker. I forgot what bread is in the store to buy. And baked black and white bread. She served me for 5 years. :-) I would give a lot just to solve the problem and revive my stove. Can anyone help with spare parts or something else?

that's what is written in online stores, it's a pity that the stove is standing, but it is not good enough, the stirrer has not been pulled out for a long time, so nothing flows, the bucket is washed together with the stirrer, but problems with stirring began, sometimes it does not interfere, most likely the gland is to blame, but his now there are no familiar craftsmen, maybe minder Would you organize the release of new bushings to repair the buckets?

The bread maker has been in service since: wow: 1995 !!! of the year. The problem with the oil seal (I bought new ones twice while they were - enough for 2 years, the native served 5) was solved as follows: natural! the cork is slightly larger than the hole for the oil seal, we carefully cut out the hole for the axle with a clerical knife, the hole under the axle can be carefully made or burned with a drill, it is best to punch with a small curly chisel or a thin-walled tube. Using a tube or a long rod, we drive the dry part tightly into the hole. If the cork is of high quality and dense enough, it is enough for six months. Does not burn when baking. And if you just knead the dough (now I often bake in various forms in microwave oven with convection), then it will be enough for a year. Before adding the ingredients, I first pour a tablespoon of vegetable oil onto the mixer, and then the rest. The stove itself is reliable, made very decently inside. Of course, the stuffing box assembly could have been made more airtight and more reliable (technical solutions have long been used in technology), but it would have been noticeably more expensive.
There is nothing wrong with leaking (and with jamming), for this, the pallet was made below. We turned the bucket over, removed the lock washer, cleaned the shaft, lubricated it (you can grow it with oil) and that's it.
