Okay, so my Cuisinart CBK-100 was basically a mini swimming pool every time I tried to make bread. Water just kept leaking from the bottom, and I was THIS close to giving up and buying a whole new machine.

Enter this pan seal kit. At first, I was skeptical—could a tiny seal really fix my problem? But after watching a quick YouTube tutorial (shoutout to Stepdad’s video!), I installed it in like 5 minutes. No more leaks! My bread machine is back in action, and I’m saving $$$ instead of replacing the whole thing.

The kit comes with everything you need: heavy-duty seal, stainless steel washer, buckle, e-clip, and even an instruction guide. Pro tip: You’ll need snap ring pliers for installation, but it’s totally worth the effort.

Some reviewers had issues with fit—apparently it doesn’t work for *every* CBK-100 (double-check your pan for the red seal before buying). But for me? Perfect match. Now I’m back to baking fresh loaves and pizza dough like a boss.

Final verdict: If your bread pan is leaking, give this kit a shot before shelling out for a new machine. Just make sure you have the right model and tools handy!
