You can try
contacting Rival to see if they sell a replacement motor. Nothing is listed on their parts and accessories page. It may just be more economical to buy a new ice cream maker, though. Most of the cost is likely to be in the motor, and even if the motor's available it may be just a few dollars more for a whole new appliance. Amazon.com lists two almost identical models by a company called Maxi-Matic, a
6-quart model for $69.99 and a
4-quart for about $10 less. You might be better off just buying new and get a warranty with it.
Sadly, almost every small appliance now is a throw-away item.
