8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dessert is too soft/not freezing properly. | Mixture was not sufficiently chilled before adding. Too much mixture in the bowl. | Ensure mixture is cold (refrigerated) before adding. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. |
| Mixing paddle stops during operation. | Mixture has become too thick. Motor overheating due to excessive load. | Turn off the machine. If the mixture is too thick, remove it. Allow the motor to cool down for a few minutes before restarting. |
| Pint insert is difficult to remove. | Condensation or small spills may have frozen the insert to the machine's chamber. | Turn off the machine and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes. The ice should melt slightly, allowing for easier removal. |
