I'm depressed. The gasket in the bread machine that my mom got me years ago seems to have reached the end of its life cycle. More and more I noticed it was not quite fitting right, then today after having triple checked that it had a proper seating the machine still lost around a third of the water that I put into it because of a poor seal between the machine's bread mixing container and the machine.
I will be looking for if I can find a replacement seal, or a small gasket that can go under the seal to help it work better, but until then I am afraid I am going to be resorting to baking up large batches of bread once a week and freezing several over the first part of the week.
I don't really mind, since I love to make bread, but it is disappointing to have he bread machine mom got me failing after all these years of making bread with it. I can still use it for fast batches when I need bread and can't take the time to make it by hand, but I'm not going to be able to use it every other day like I have been for a while now.

I read your comments about your leaking bread maker .. .. ..
We are having the same sort of issue. Did you replace your seal & did that fix the problem?
I assume that replacement of the seal would work to fix the issue, but rather than try that I just went ahead and went back to making my bread by hand.
I find kneading the dough to be a great stress release, and it is good for my fingers to help ease cramps from long days of typing.
The way my machine is made, though, I think just replacement of the rubber seal should fix the issue. I think mine compressed and even though it was still pliable, it was smashed to where it no longer fully sealed the system.
