I use Red Star yeast. I get mine from the King Arthur Flour catalog,
but I think one can buy it in ordinary grocery stores. Fleishman's is
fine, too. You don't need a special bread machine yeast.

My bread machine book (_Bread Machine Magic_, which I recommend) also
says Welbilt bread machines need a little more yeast -- 2 teaspoons for
most 1.5 lb loaf recipes. That works great in mine. However both the
book and the machine are about 10 years old, so this may have changed.
