Howling suggests something wrong!!!! Just kidding , of course. It does suggest that something is rubbing. Most noises are caused by vibration, same thing as the noise when my old bones rub together because the cartilege has worn away over the years. I suggest you find a food grade lubricant, hunt around at Lowe's or Home Depot for same. and if you have one, use a finger pressure squirt gun to squirt some of this stuff into the mechanisms that are inside your ice making unit. There are some small mechanisms in an ice maker that develop some pretty good forces especially to break up the ice. Unfortunately I am sure there may be some mechanisms that you can not get to very easily and you may have to take something apart.. Yeah, I know, involves emptying the fridge and all that bother...

When the Donvier is room temperature the fluid in the canister sort of 'rattles'. I think that is normal.

A flower ice bowl is a very pretty and innovative way to present food in a bowl that has been made from ice, by shaping it in the freezer beforehand. It looks amazing but is quite a lot of work just for a bowl, so save it for a special occasion.

Put the machine on a defrost cycle and make sure the mix is correct. to rich (not enough water) and the temp will drop until it gets to the right thickness, thus freezing the condensation on the bowls.

There IS a silicon ring that fits in a groove on the bottom of the freezing bowl. I lost the one on mine, which causes the leaking described. I replaced it with a silicon O-ring (1" inner diameter, 1 1/4" outer diameter, ring thickness 1/8") that I found on Amazon - did have to buy a set with lots of different sizes but now I have extras in case I lose it again. Works perfectly without leaking.

Removable bowl use! It is necessary to put into the fixed bowl about 75 mi of a non poison alcohol

I would take the freezer bowls out of the freezer, run them both under the sink to thaw both bowls out, dry both bowls thoroughly, and then set them both on the counter so that the liquid settles toward the bottom of the freezer bowls. After 1 hour, place the bowls FLAT back into the freezer - don't forget to wrap them in a plastic grocery bag or some other sort of plastic bag. Try to make ice cream again after 24 hours or more of freezing. Let me know if this works, so I can pass the good news along to others.

I found a solution at kitchenaid.com. It says the bowl locks in the same direction as the rotating mixer moves, so slap the bowl with your hand a few times in the opposite direction, and then take vegetable oil and using a cotton swab line the groove of the bowl. Let it soak a bit, and then slap the bowl again and push it hard counterclockwise.

Preparing the Freezer Bowl:
The freezer bowl must be completely frozen before you begin your recipe. The length of time needed to reach the frozen state depends on how cold your freezer is – for best results, place the bowl to the rear of your freezer where it is coldest. In general, freezing time is between 6 hours and 22 hours. To determine whether the bowl is completely frozen, shake it. If you do not hear liquid moving, the cooling liquid is frozen. For the most convenience, leave your freezer bowl in the freezer at all times so you can take it out any time for immediate use.
