8. Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues you might encounter and their solutions:

• Issue: Mixing bowl is stuck or difficult to remove.
  Cause: Water or condensation on the outside of the mixing bowl may have frozen, adhering it to the machine's liner.
  Solution: Turn off the machine and wait a few minutes for the ice to defrost. The bowl should then be easier to remove.
• Issue: Churn blade stops spinning during operation.
  Cause 1: The motor may be overheating due to prolonged use (e.g., multiple batches in a row) or very firm ingredients.
  Solution 1: The machine has a safety feature to prevent damage. Allow the motor to cool down for a period before resuming operation.
  Cause 2: The ice cream mixture has reached its desired firmness, and the machine has automatically stopped churning.
  Solution 2: The ice cream is ready to be served.
• Issue: Lid does not fit properly or is difficult to lock.
  Cause: The mixing bowl or churn blade may be misaligned.
  Solution: Ensure the mixing bowl is fully seated. Adjust the churn blade by rotating it slightly until it sits all the way down and the lowest part touches the bottom of the bowl. This should provide enough clearance for the lid to lock.
• Issue: Churn blade is rubbing or banging against the mixing bowl.
  Cause: The mixing bowl may be damaged (e.g., an inward dent or deformation).
  Solution: Remove the mixing bowl and inspect it for any damage. If deformed, it may need to be replaced.
• Issue: Mixing bowl gets stuck halfway when inserting into the machine.
  Cause: Similar to the blade rubbing, this could indicate damage or deformation to the mixing bowl.
  Solution: Remove the bowl and inspect it for any damage. If deformed, it may need to be replaced.
