1. Outer Bowl Won’t Twist Off Base
- Cause: The machine was unplugged or interrupted mid-cycle, leaving the blade shaft extended down into the pint.
- Fix: Plug the machine back in, power it on, and wait 10 seconds for the motor to automatically retract the shaft back to the top position.
2. Lid Release Button Stuck
- Cause: Dried ice or sticky ingredient residue in the latch mechanism.
- Fix: Run warm water over the latch mechanism for 30 seconds to melt ice or dissolve sugary residue.
