New motor makes loud noise when operating

The Taylor 430 thermistor model has two adjustments a fine adjustment, which is made by turning the knob, and a coarse adjustment that is made by turning the screw in the center of the knob. I suspect you are trying the fine adjustment, which will change the product + or - 2 degrees F. The coarse adjustment will let you set the product temperature between 10 and 30 degrees F.

As far as the clunking, those machines clunk a little. It would do it more if the product was too hard.

You are correct the machine will leak drops into the drip tray, but if it is more than drops, you want to address it. Should be as simple as a new tune up kit.

We have used White Mountain 6 quart freezers for over 20 years and have experienced this problem with 4 separate malfunctions causing it.

1. For some reason the square shaft at top of dasher does not penetrate far enough into the motor assembly. this allows the dasher to hang free while everything else seems to function properly. We learned that if you have everything ready and want to make sure the outer freezing doesn't occur, place a 3/8 inch slice of a potato over the male spindle in bottom of wooden bucket. This jacks the can up with the dasher inside and causes the shaft to go up into the motor and work.

2. Some cans had a female plate attached to the bottom on the outside to fit down over the male spindale in the wooden bucket. This plate has been known to become detached and lost allowing the can, dasher, and everything to drop down far enough to disengage the square shaft from the motor. The potato slice will usually resolve the problem.

3. A more permanant fix is to remove the male spindale from inside the bottom of the wooden bucket and place stainless steel washers under it to jack it up, and screw it back down with stainless screws.

4. Even if the entire male spindle becomes detached and lost from the bottom inside of the wooden bucket, we have found that a healthy potato slice works as a temporary fix. While the spindle is designed to keep the can centered in the wood tub, once the ice is placed around the can, it seems to stay centered and makes ice cream.

5. We think we have improved the situation on several occaisions by tightening the screws holding the wood scrapers to the metal dasher. We try to leave a little looseness in the screws--about 1/4 inch of free play. The scrapers are designed to pull out against the inside of the can as they turn and resistance to the mix occurs, but we think it is possible for them to be so loose that they get hung slightly away from the edge of the can and once freezing starts, it continues to multiply and creates a layer of insulation leaving the inside liquid.

6. At one point some of the lids were made of a very light aluminum type material. A tab on the inside of the rim of the lid was also light metal and attached in such a manner that they could become detached or distorted so that it failed to mate up with the tab inside the can. Current models have a heavy molded lid with the tab molded into it. We never had a problem with the molded lids, but practically all the light weight ones eventually failed. As the lid turns it's tab engages the tab inside the can and turns the can with the mix in it. If the tab becomes distorted or broken, the lid will turn normally and everything looks great, but the can of mix is standing still with no stirring. Therefore a film of freezing mix forms around the inside of the can.

7. Sorry about overloading you with information, but you probably can resolve your problem with one of these fixes.

Perhaps some gears are breaking inside the motor? If you need parts, they are sometimes available here: http://stores.ebay.com/Lauras-Last-Ditch/_i.html?_nkw=rival+ice+cream&submit=Search&_sid=93311479

mcdevito75 here, You may be overloading the motor, follow the recommendations in your owners manual, or, the motor could be going bad.

Gearboxes definitely go bad. The first sign is usually noise, I would describe it as a rumbling. The best way to determine if it's the gear box is:
1. empty and disconnect machine from power.
2. remove the freezer door and beater assembly
2. remove the rear panel - 4 screws
3. Remove the belts on the noisy side
4. Spin the big pulley and listen for the noise, you may want to remove the belts on the quiet side to compare the two.
I have a video that was shot to help change the hex coupler, but you would follow all of the same steps to replace the gear box.

You have exactly the opposite problem of most users - for you, I would reccomend taking the freezer bowl out of the freezer a bit earlier than usual, slightly warming the initial ice cream ingredients, or raising the temperature of your freezer. To an extent, you will always get that rim directly on the sides of the freezer bowl, but my rim never extends so far out that it stops either of my two Cuisinart ice cream makers (or their paddles/bowls) from spinning.

The noise you hear from you machine is provably just the mixer but not the compressor the bowl and the mixer has different cooling systems to check the you got to see your contractor kicking in when you activate the dispenser handle. reply to Art after check that

The keys are to make sure the freezer is cold enough, and to make sure the bowl is level when it is sitting in the freezer. 24 hours is usually required, despite what manual says.

If all else fails, the freezer bowls are replaceable - you can order them from Cuisinart - if you are in-warranty, they may even be able to give it to you for free.

Dear Dannyvk,

I am having exactly the same problem with my rival 8200 ice cream maker. It worked once and stopped usual, when I first used it. The ice cream was wonderful.

However, when I started to make a second batch, the ice cream maker just hummed after I plugged it in. No movement of the pin/hub whatsoever. I tried to move it, by placing the steel can on top and moving it side by side. I plugged it in again, and experienced the same old humming sound.

Is it a fuse? Is the motor blown? Is this something that a small appliance dealer can repair at a reasonable cost? Can anyone help? I am so disappointed!

Faithful in Christ,
D.

you are letting the ice cream get to frozen, this should be a soft gelato ice cream, after 20 minutes turn off the top motor a leave on with the freezer unit still working or take out mixture put in tubs and put in freezer, the lid is designed to come off to stop the machine from breaking.
