Over 100 latches ordered in the last 12 months!

Replacement stainless-steel upgrade / repair latch part for the Panasonic SD253 seed / nut dispenser (see pictures).

Easy to fit with a cross head screwdriver.

1. Remove dispenser from lid (it just pops out).

2. Wash?

3. Remove old latch part by undoing the two cross head screws and lifting out U bracket.

4. Rescue the small spring which keeps the latch engaged.

5. This spring has one end that narrows down slightly. Hold the very end of this with tweezers or needle point pliers and then wrap the spring onto the cross (a tooth pick or a match end is handy for this).

6. Place new latch in position, add bracket and resecure with the two screws.

7. Make bread.

Any help / comments please get in touch.

@Susan-parker , I take it the payment hasn't gone through. I shall re-order but if you see me twice on your records, I think i only need one of your gadgets.

@dominic_koe Hi Dominic. Sorry, I only see the "... someone's ordered..." email from Shapeways which does not give any personal information about the buyer.

Thanks Sarah. It arrived as promised, the fitting instructions were very helpful, and more importantly it worked. We are now enjoying a fruit loaf again. Thanks for saving us a lot of money! Shirley

Hello Susan, I have ordered an SD253 seed dispenser latch but paypal said an error had occurred during the transaction and I am not sure if it has gone through. Dominic.koe@gmail.com

@Lanzaga Hi, thank you for your comment. I am pleased to say that over 100 people have now been able to repair their breadmakers with my latch. All the best, Susan.

I agree with Tortoise 1000 below. I was fascinated with the idea that Susan could design and make this part. I hesitated before buying because my breadmaker is 9 years old. It has attracted interest from my engineering colleagues. Instructions couldn't have been clearer. Many thanks.

It worked! I am delighted to say my nut dispenser is back to normal :-)
