In the first knead cycle, the direction of rotation reverses every minute or
so.  When it goes clockwise looking down upon the bar, there is a squeaky
noise from time to time.  The other direction is nice and quiet.  I think
this may be an indication that a clutch is slipping.  Can someone please
inform me if that is likely to be happening?  If so, what can one do about it
without sending it back to the factory?
