    I have a Simac IL Gelatio Magnum Ice cream maker and its not working properly. When trying to make sorbet or ice cream it never finishes churning..Obviously the cooling part is broken somehow? Has anyone ever had this problem with this machine and know how to get it fixed ? Thanks

    I have the geltaio Junior, by Simac, and I don't have that problem. Does that happen even if you start with a cold base? Have you asked the company?

    The machin is over 7 yrs old and I always chill the mix overnight usually before churning. The only phone number I found on the manual is disconnected now , does your machine have a 1-800 number ?It usually took about 45 min to 1 hr to finish the ice cream ,sorbet, now it goes for hours with nothing.
