Why is my new Whynter icecream maker not freezing?

There could be a couple of reasons. Either the arm is not turning or the seal is off, not allowing a proper seal. The last possibility which is beyond my expertise is the thermostat may not be working properly. Hope this helps.

Depending on the recipe, you may need to do two cycles or at least a portion of the second cycle. The machine will let you know when the mixture is so frozen that the paddles will no longer move. Additionally, i always put it in containers and put it in the freezer. I have made so many different flavors of ice creams with my WHYNTER and have had no problems. i did my due diligence prior to buying it & it was ranked #1 by COOKS & CONSUMERS. Anytime i make a purchase, those are the two best sources to check.

It will do so but you should transfer it just before then when you hear the series of beeps.

I put in frozen bread slices + buns and always has done them evenly - use #2 setting... Haven't tried on frozen bagels yet, didn't use defrost

I put it in the freezer and nothing happened. It did not turn cold at all. I am very disappinted with this product.

Sounds like it froze too fast. Try turning the handle the other way until you get good movement, then reverse direction again. I find that some very rich ice cream batters will be much stiffer than sorbets or batters with a little alcohol added. When I made maple bacon bourbon ice cream a couple of weeks ago it never really firmed up, but the pistachio I made last weekend got firm and hard to crank right away.

I also discovered the base comes apart when I got water in it after cleaning. I am also curious to know if freezing water inside will help ice cream solidify a little more quickly. I don't see the harm in trying it, so if I do get around to trying it, I will do my best to post a response about it.

Even with commercial I.C. machines you can take the ice cream out when it just begins to firm up, and freeze it. Generally speaking IC is not meant to go from machine to table. It needs to finish freezing in the freezer. If you get grainy-ness in your vanilla, try not churning it as long, or use less fat ( more milk or half/half, less cream) the cream is churning into butter, that is the grainy-ness. I just bought this machine for my wife, she makes homemade yogurt, and hopefully she will enjoy it.

I am having this very same problem. My daughter played with it for one hour before it froze up. Tried everything but it still is freezing.

Mine is exactly one month old and did the same thing. I reset it and it worked for about 1 1/2 hours and is now frozen again. Mine never really worked right (time of day was way off, calories calculation was way off), but now it looks like it is just broken.....$18 for a month......oh well, onto another brand I guess....

I have never had it freeze on me, but I would say it should be good. Ya might want to contact the manufacturer.

Same on mine. It also didn't have the heat symbol. But it seems to melt the ice though.

Sounds as you have the crushed ice setting in therrefrigertor. The unit makes then solid if it does not something is sticking.

I have had none of the problems reported here. I have made several flavors of ice cream and they have come out great. I have even added ingredients such as cherries when I made Chocolate ice cream. I believe the key to success is to make sure the ingredients are very cold when put into the frozen bowl. You do have to hold the lid down for the first few minutes until the mixer is moving smoothly, but then it works perfectly. It has to be eaten right after making the ice cream. I have never put it back into the freezer for later so I don't know how that works. Good luck if you try again.

Does the freezer have a ice build up. If not the compressor may be bad. If so then the defrost thermostat maybe bad. You can troubleshoot by checking the board

The thermostat is easily adjustable. Push a set button, then use an up or down button until it is where you want. It will keep ice-cream frozen if you set it below freezing.

Whoa...may be the mixer head connecter insertion. Have you made "adjustments" for the height with the tool? Might be some of the problem, too. Mine seems to be somewhat loose at insertion with any of the beater attachments, which made me leery at the beginning; but it whips up double cookie batches with no problem. I make Divinity with it and whips it up great without any over-heat. I never tried it for bread dough, as I like to knead bread myself. I would call the 800 customer service number and talk to them about it, but first try your adjustment tool. Sorry you having problems with it...maybe I need to whip up a batch of French Bread to see how mine does...big snow storm here and roads are un-drivable in Champaign County in IL...so might just get it out and make some bread! :o) Let me know if the adjusting tool helped.

Say friend, the problem is the freezer temperature is not low enough. You need at least 0 Deg. for the bowl to freeze up. We had the same sad faces when we first tried. Used a good thermometer and adjusted freezer temp. until 0 Deg. was reached. Might take about 24 hours to get it adjusted, but it is worth the effort. If results are not as stiff as you like, put ice cream in another container and return to freezer to make ice cream harder. Machine does make soft ice cream. We use small covered bowls. Hope this information helps. It is a good machine.

You shouldn't have a problem! You have to freeze the bowl for 12-14 hours first. You wait until you are just ready to make it then take it out of the freezer. The recipes say that once it churns you can eat right then as a "soft serve" ice cream but I still find it too soft. After being in the freezer an hour or so it's perfect. This is a great addition to my mixer and I'm really glad I bought it/
