I got an email from a cousin of mine who's son just got married. His wife just got the Ice Cream Dipper. She says there is some sort of rattling in the handle. Does anyone know what might be wrong with it? THe online Product Guide says it has "non-toxic de-icing solution" in it and I thought maybe the vial that holds the solution might have come loose. Although she lives out of state, I'm sure I'll be doing a Product Adjustment for her.

There is liquid that heats up from your hand and that makes it easier to scoop the ice cream. My recruiters husband thought the same thing but he took it to great lengths. He got his drill out and drilled a hole in the scoop so he could get whatever was in there out. Well it came out-the liquid that is supposed to be in there. :eek:
 
Yep, it's just the liquid that makes the thing work!

One of my customer's husbands did the same thing. Always makes for a great story!
 
Hi Trish,Thank you for reaching out about the Ice Cream Dipper. It sounds like your cousin's daughter-in-law may have received a defective product. I would recommend checking the vial that holds the non-toxic de-icing solution to see if it has come loose or if there is any damage to it. If that is the case, a Product Adjustment would definitely be the best course of action. I'm glad you are able to help her out even though she lives out of state. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.Best, Pampered Chef Consultant
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What could be causing the rattling sound in my Ice Cream Dipper?

The rattling sound in your Ice Cream Dipper may be caused by loose components inside the handle or the scoop itself. Over time, the materials can wear down, leading to movement that creates noise when the dipper is used.

Is it normal for the Ice Cream Dipper to make noise?

While some noise can be expected due to the design of the Ice Cream Dipper, excessive rattling is not typical. If the sound is bothersome or seems to be increasing, it may indicate that a part needs to be checked or replaced.

How can I fix the rattling sound in my Ice Cream Dipper?

To fix the rattling sound, first inspect the Ice Cream Dipper for any visible signs of damage or loose parts. Tightening screws or reassembling the handle may resolve the issue. If the problem persists, consider contacting customer service for further assistance or replacement options.

Could the rattling sound affect the performance of the Ice Cream Dipper?

In most cases, a rattling sound does not affect the performance of the Ice Cream Dipper. However, if the noise is due to a loose part, it could potentially impact the efficiency of scooping ice cream. Addressing the issue promptly can help maintain optimal performance.
