| Ice cream is too soft/not freezing. | Ingredients not cold enough; insufficient churning time; too much mixture. | Pre-chill ingredients thoroughly. Increase churning time. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Ensure the compressor has settled for 2-4 hours before first use. |
| Machine stops during operation. | Overload protection activated; power interruption. | Reduce the amount of mixture if overloaded. Check power connection. Allow machine to cool down if it overheated. |
