Fortunately, the unit had a year warranty. Customer service was a bit slow, but they did eventually replace it. One of their requirements was that I cut off the power cord and send them a picture before processing my claim (presumably a fraud prevention procedure). After I cut off the cord, I figured I might as well open up the motor housing to see what the root cause of the problem was. If you're interested, here's what is shown in the attached photo:
The motor turns the gear (1) which turns the can. The shaft (2) goes through the gear and is supposed to remain stationary because the other end (not shown) is the fitting where the stirring paddle is inserted when the freezer is in operation. The shaft fits into a socket (3) which is mounted to a bracket inside the motor housing. Shaft and socket are both molded plastic. With repeated use, friction rounded off the once-square corners of both pieces. Eventually, when the ice cream started to freeze and put a bit of resistance on the paddle, the shaft would slip in the socket. This allowed the paddle to turn with the can, causing the problem described in the first paragraph. It seems to me that molding the shaft and socket as a single piece would prevent this problem. (So would making them from metal, but that would probably increase costs). At least now I know how to fix it when the warranty replacement eventually fails too.

The Nostalgia ice cream churn is stupid easy to use & clean. I use about 3/4 of a 10-lb bag of ice and about 3/4 cup (estimate) of rock salt.
I learned things:
1) Fill the cannister with your ice cream, put in the paddle, put on the lid, and the little brown cap. Then place it in the bucket, carefully centered.
2) Pour in some ice, sprinkle some salt, repeat. Do not fill above the little hole on the side of the bucket. make sure the cannister stays centered. The little brown cap prevents ice and salt from getting into your ice cream. Do this quickly so the cannister doesn't freeze in place. Take the little brown cap off.
3) Align the motor and plug it in. There is no on/off switch. I plugged mine into a power strip with a switch on it.
4) The motor turns the cannister, not the paddle. I don't know why, it's magic. If the cannister is frozen & the motor won't turn it, try turning the motor on &off a few times. The churning process takes about 30 minutes.
5) Remove the cannister, pull out the paddle & scrape off ice cream or give it to someone to lick. After removing most of the ice cream from the cannister, I found a wooden spoon very useful in getting the frozen bits off the sides and bottom. It will be a 'soft serve' consistency, good for mixing in fruit/candy/whatever.
I love this ice cream churn & can make multiple batches at a time without issue. Highly recommend! but it would have been nice if the instructions were a bit more concise. Live & learn.
