Roz,
I also had a leaky Breadman TR2200C pan. Instead of replacing it, I
decided to buy a new TR2200C. After receiving my new machine from
Amazon.com (on sale for $65 w/free shipping), I noticed that the pan
is not the same shape as the leaky one in my 3-4 year old
TR2200C. This changed the TR2200C, a wonderful machine in most other
respects, into a model I no longer wanted to use.
I called Breadman's customer service number, and they confirmed that
a there are two different pans for the older versus the newer
TR2200C. They can be differentiated by the number of rivets in the
bottom of the pan. The older 2200C has four rivets. The new shorter,
wider pan has three rivets. Both are available from them for $35
including shipping.
I returned the new TR2200C, but rather than buy a replacement pan for
my old machine (which probably is close to the end of its useful
life, I decided to order an overpriced Zojirushi BBCC-X20
instead. So far, the Zojirushi's two advantages over the TR2200C are
that its loaves have a more traditional shape, and the
uneveness/lopsidedness of the top of the 100% whole wheat bread that
I bake is minor compared to my TR2200C. I suspect that the
frequently lopsided tops of the loaves of the first model TR2200C is
the reason the bread pan was redesigned to make it less rectangular.
In the past, when a manufacturer changed the design of a product, the
model number changed in some way. This apparently is no longer
something we can count on. I can't imagine that a change from
TR2200C to TR2200C-1 or TR2200D what would have been so harmful to
the sales of the Breadman Ultimate that they felt it necessary to
retain the old model number, and thereby mislead the consumer.
Hope this helps.
Harry
