Troubleshooting

Ice crusher is difficult to turn.

Ensure the top lid and base are properly aligned and tightened. Check for any obstructions in the blades or the collection chamber. Use standard-sized ice cubes, not oversized ones.

Ice is not crushing evenly.

Make sure the ice cubes are distributed evenly within the crushing chamber. Avoid packing too much ice at once; crush in smaller batches if necessary.

Blades appear rusty or dull.

This can occur if blades are not dried thoroughly after washing. Ensure blades are completely dry after every use. For minor rust, try a paste of baking soda and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. If dullness persists, it may indicate wear.

The unit feels unstable during use.

Ensure the ice crusher is placed on a flat, non-slip surface. The non-slip base should provide stability; check if it is clean and free of debris.
