Cotton candy machine

Residue builds up from multiple uses of the machine. That residue near or on the heating element begins to burn. https://www.searanchlodge.com/how-to-clean-cotton-candy-machine/


Check the website associated with your brand of machine to see if it offers any particular disassembly instructions or cleaning tip. However, the above cleaning instructions may suffice.

Venetia?
Could it be sugar that has fallen in and hardened below, in the motor casing, linkage, or belts (if any)?

That is a "blind guess."

If your Crazart cotton candy maker is no longer producing cotton candy, there could be a few potential issues to consider. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check the power supply: Make sure that the machine is properly plugged in and that the outlet is functioning properly. You may also want to check the fuse or circuit breaker to ensure that the machine is getting the proper power supply.
2. Check the heating element: If the heating element on the machine is not functioning properly, it may be preventing the machine from producing cotton candy. You may need to replace the heating element to fix the issue.
3. Check the spinning head: If the spinning head on the machine is not functioning properly, it may not be able to spin the sugar into cotton candy. You may need to replace the spinning head to fix the issue.
4. Check the floss bucket: If the floss bucket on the machine is not properly seated or is damaged, it may be preventing the machine from producing cotton candy. Make sure that the floss bucket is properly seated and check for any visible damage.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it is possible that there is a deeper malfunction or defect with the machine that will need to be addressed by a professional. In this case, you may want to consider contacting the manufacturer or a customer service representative for further assistance.

Hi pandoramagic...
This is not the company that you bought your machine from, it is an "Answer Company" we supply answers to questions people have.
You need a special sugar in the machine (read below), and you can use liquid food coloring to color the sugar/cotton candy and different liquid flavors to flavor the cotton candy.
Typical machines used to make cotton candy include a spinning head enclosing a small "sugar reserve" bowl into which a charge of granulated, colored sugar (or separate sugar and food coloring) is poured. Heaters near the rim of the head melt the sugar, which is squeezed out through tiny holes by centrifugal force. Precolored sugar packaged specially for the process is milled with melting characteristics and a crystal size optimized for the head and heated holes; granulated sugar used in baking contains fine crystals which spin out unmelted, while rock sugar crystals are too large to properly contact the heater, slowing the production of floss.
The molten sugar solidifies in the air and is caught in a larger bowl which totally surrounds the spinning head. Left to operate for a period, the cottonlike product builds up on the inside walls of the larger bowl, at which point the machine operator twirls a stick, cone, or their hands around the rim of the large catching bowl, gathering the sugar strands into portions which are served on stick or cone, or in plastic bags. As the sugar reserve bowl empties, the operator recharges it with more feedstock. The product is sensitive to humidity, and in humid summer locales, the process can be messy and sticky.
