The paddle inside canister is not spinning, only the canister is spinning, is this normal?

Yes. This is normal for this machine. When the canister turns, dasher is still in place so in a way the dasher is turning. It's hard to explain but here's a video so you could see what I mean. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D5ZEIAr4LjA

Same thing with mine, only the canister is rotating. My opinion is it doesn't matter. If paddle rotates in opposite direction, that is almost the same as increasing the speed of canister with the paddle at stationary.

We haven't used it very often, but we haven't had any problems with it. Sorry I can't help you.

No, it will do it's thing, just make sure you put it in the upright position when loading the ingredients. Also I find , after cleaning it each time, the paddle does'nt move freely and has to be loosened up by moving it back and forth or with using a little olive oil each time I use it.

Look at the bottom of the paddle It has a little bump on the part that fits into the bottom (you may have had it upside down) The paddle turns around and rubs the sides of the container and scraped the ice cream off the sides it doesn't Agitate, but only turns one way. I put mine on the wrong way the first time I used it. Be sure to secure the top onto the bottom before turning on the machine....there is only a little notch that it hooks into on the left side of the machine as you face it. Be sure and try the strawberry ice cream in the recipe book It's awesome

I had the same difficulty. See the following works for you. 1) The connecting tubes has to be shortest possible from the inlets to the Canister. It should not be looping etc. I cut the tubes, so that they are straight. 2) Try switching the IN and Out tubes on the Canister. 3) Make sure the Canister cap is tight. No air or water leaking.

Yes mine spins. The one you have may be bent during shipment rendering it stiff.

Before buying my 5891, I read of this 'sticking paddle' problem. Since buying, what I have been doing prior to baking, is rubbing a little oil ( butter, olive oil or whatever edible lube is close at hand ) onto the stem. My paddle has not yet stuck.

I can only think that either product is clumping with moisture or rotating breaker in bottom of bin is not turning, or missing entirely. Obvious problems, but both have happened to me in the past. Good luck

I have not. I'd guess that would happen when the mixture has frozen/thickened too much or possibly if the paddle and/or bowl are wet/icy at start-up. Are the plastic "catch plates" on the clear lid intact and holding the paddle in place? Good luck...

I am glad those who have answered aren't having this problem, but I really am only interested in resolving my problem and hearing from anyone who has the same issue only, not that some people don't have this issue, that doesn't help at all. I have researched other websites and find there are many others who also have this problem, has something to do with internal plastic. Guess it's time to move onto a new mixer.

I'm so glad that you posted this. I'm having the same experience. The equipment looks the same. Nothing has happened to it, but it no longer froths.

After assembling the 140 the problem I ran into was with the resistance when I first tried to move the paddles forward I'm unable to move I tried to change the resistance but nothing works. The back movement is very smooth. Anyone have a solution

Mine does the same thing sometimes off and on for quite a few years , I tore it apart but could not find anything wrong. just make sure the paddle is tight on the crank arm and that the crank arm is tight on bottom bracket stem. Internally it's fairly simple and strong, not much to go wrong.

Mine was barely moving when I first got it. I tried everything and then finally decided to clean the main filter. After I did that it started working great. Hope this helps.

The white basket that is inside the blue bucket spins when you step on the pedal. I returned mine because the pedal action was not smooth and the pedal sometimes stuck in the down position. I would advise that you spend a few bucks more and buy the Hurricane spin mop. I have purchased two of the Hurricanes, one for me and one for my girlfriend.

I had this problem recently, and I used a piece of plastic to pry the paddle off. Now I coat the spindle it sits on with canola oil before baking.

Make sure the impeller and magnet are properly seated in position. Also check the valve that directs the water flow - spin it to a few different directions to ensure you have water flow.

Check to make sure it's not screwed down too tightly. A little bit of lubricant in the part that spins might help also. The handle really does move it quite nicely. You may want to check to make sure nothing like packing material or debris is stuck in it, effectively jamming it tight.
