Cuisinart ICE-20 AND TURNING PROBLEM

10 MINUTES IS NOT LONG ENOUGH, PLEASE WAIT FOR AT LEAST 20-30 MIN'S

I run mine in an unoccupied room with an old hardcover book and a quart soup can on top. Just a noisy beast but great ice creame when you figure out how to use it. Parts can be found here: http://www.cuisinart.com/parts/ice_cream/ice-50bc.html

Hello Maryo803,

It is not normal for the paddle not to move in these units. First we have to determine weather the paddle is striped or the gear is stripped. At the bottom of the paddle there is a hole that attaches to the turning gear on the machine. Look and see if it still matches the sprocket in the bottom of the ice cream maker. If it does not still match I would suggest buying a new paddle. You can purchase a new paddle from Cuisinart for $8.00 and here is a link to the page. http://www.cuisinart.com/parts/ice_cream/ice-20.html

However, if it is not the paddle please post back to this thread and I will see if it is worth changing out the bottom gear.

Thank you for choosing FIxYa.com

DID YOU USE SALT IN THE ICE ??

sometimes the brushes take a set when unused.. Unplug the motor. Without using rnough pressure yo break anything, try turning the motor by hand using the paddle. You will be trying to turn the motor through ithe gesrs so use slow steady moderate pressure. This does work. as long as you watch what you are doing wiyh yhe force you apply. Good Luck. and enjoy the ice cream

Don't forget to rate the solution accordingly.

Many thanks.

I would actually let the freezer bowl thaw out on a level surface. Then place perfectly level back in the freezer for 24 hours. Should work again. Enjoy!

The ice cream makers have a 3-year warranty - call Cuisinart to get a replacement - you may have to pay for shipping, but that's it.

As long as it makes the ice cream, it doesn't matter which one turns. If it's not making the ice cream, call Cuisinart, as both the lid and the mixing arm can be replaced.
