Introduction
The Sunbeam Snow Cone Maker motor is essential for creating the fluffy ice shavings for the perfect snow cone. A faulty motor will make it difficult for the machine to grind any ice at all.
Before using this guide, be sure that there are no blockages in the machine that could interfere with the flow of ice shavings. In addition, make sure to power off and unplug the machine completely from any external power source before proceeding with the repair.
