  Justin WilliamsAug 15, 2025
  Excessive mix leakage in the rear drip pan of your Taylor Kitchen Appliance could be due to improper lubrication on the drive shaft o-ring or seal; use an approved food grade lubricant and follow the lubrication procedures. It may also indicate a bad or missing o-ring or seal on the drive shaft, which should be replaced every 3 months. A worn rear shell bearing can also cause this issue, so consider replacing it.

Another cause might be a bent torque arm, which should be replaced. Also, ensure the condensers are cleaned regularly, as dirty condensers can hinder freezing.

  Brittany MullinsAug 30, 2025
  If the product from your Taylor Kitchen Appliances is too stiff, check if the torque rotor is bound, causing the compressor to continually run; free the torque rotor. Also, inspect the torque arm; install or replace it if it's bent or missing. Adjust the consistency control knob as needed. Ensure proper mixing of the product by carefully following the directions. Keep the hopper full of mix, as insufficient product in the freezing cylinder can also cause stiffness.
