Its much like when you open a door, after which it gets closed. You see you opened the spinner head, now you need to close the spinner head. Just remember how a door works, (you can even make it less to remember by
not worrying about the doir handle part cause you dont need that for this) a door works by 1. Open the door, 2. Close the door. Thats what you need to do, glad I could help.

Hi.

Problem is usually the heat control, connected to heath switch. Depending on model there can also be a resistor in the middle. Parts are tested disassemblying and using a multimeter. Repair should be done by a tech.

Here all parts.

If part is not available, contact part seller or contact the support number on manual.

Here owner and repair manual (check at the end of booklet for schematics).

Regards.

Ginko.

Hi pandoramagic...
This is not the company that you bought your machine from, it is an "Answer Company" we supply answers to questions people have.
You need a special sugar in the machine (read below), and you can use liquid food coloring to color the sugar/cotton candy and different liquid flavors to flavor the cotton candy.
Typical machines used to make cotton candy include a spinning head enclosing a small "sugar reserve" bowl into which a charge of granulated, colored sugar (or separate sugar and food coloring) is poured. Heaters near the rim of the head melt the sugar, which is squeezed out through tiny holes by centrifugal force. Precolored sugar packaged specially for the process is milled with melting characteristics and a crystal size optimized for the head and heated holes; granulated sugar used in baking contains fine crystals which spin out unmelted, while rock sugar crystals are too large to properly contact the heater, slowing the production of floss.
The molten sugar solidifies in the air and is caught in a larger bowl which totally surrounds the spinning head. Left to operate for a period, the cottonlike product builds up on the inside walls of the larger bowl, at which point the machine operator twirls a stick, cone, or their hands around the rim of the large catching bowl, gathering the sugar strands into portions which are served on stick or cone, or in plastic bags. As the sugar reserve bowl empties, the operator recharges it with more feedstock. The product is sensitive to humidity, and in humid summer locales, the process can be messy and sticky.

Please my candy cotton machine is melting sugar but the sugar isn't giving out candy but rather getting burn and smoking. What can I do?

Residue builds up from multiple uses of the machine. That residue near or on the heating element begins to burn. https://www.searanchlodge.com/how-to-clean-cotton-candy-machine/


Check the website associated with your brand of machine to see if it offers any particular disassembly instructions or cleaning tip. However, the above cleaning instructions may suffice.
tip

Be the cotton candy maker!

Here is how to operate a professional cotton candy machine.
First of all make sure you are renting the machine from a reputable company and that it arrives with a trained professional who knows how to operate it properly.
Also make sure that the machine is on a steady base and that no children or animals can get too close.

It is best to use a plug just for the machine instead of sharing it with other appliances.

To begin, turn on the machine's main power switch and fill the floss head with sugar.
It is very important not to fill the head above 90%.

Turn the machine's motor and then the heat switch on, putting the head dial setting on HIGH.
The sugar will start forming in about 45-60 seconds.

When the cotton candy starts pouring out you should have your cone ready. Dip it in the machine and pick the cotton candy by giving the cone a twirl that will gather the sugar around the cone.
Avoid rolling the cone around in circles as it is not the correct method to gather cotton candy.

When you are done, first of all turn off the HEAT and allow the motor to continue running at least 45 seconds, in order to get rid of the leftover sugar, and cool down the heating element.
Than disconnect the stabilizer screen and clips, rinsing them in warm water to dissolve the sugar.
You can now remove the floss pan from the main unit and rinse it off.

Children must not play with the cotton candy machine. It certainly is fun but it is not a toy.

Cotton candy machine is overheating and producing cotton candy at a rate 4x slower than advertised. What little is produced tastes burnt.

The temperature is critical to liquify the sugar without burning. If the temperature gets too high, the sugar burns. If it doesn't get hot enough the sugar remains in crystal form and doesn't leave the spin head.

This model uses a basic limit switch to set the temperature. Likely yours has shorted, therefore the temperature gets to high and the sugar burns.

https://www.carnivalkingsupplies.com/product/?id=1095

See above link for an idea of what the component looks like. It would be about 1/2" in diameter.

If you know a furnace, clothes dryer, or oven repair tech they could verify defective limit switch and replace without consulting a diagram. A handyman with electrical experience may be capable of repairing as well.

To get rid of the burnt taste you'll need to remove and clean both the bowl and head with dish detergent. See cleaning instructions in user manual.

My crazart cotton candy maker won't produce the cottan candy anymore.Had it since Nov. and used it multiple times since.All of a sudden I plug it up I pour the sugar In and no cottn candy comes out

If your Crazart cotton candy maker is no longer producing cotton candy, there could be a few potential issues to consider. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
  1. Check the power supply: Make sure that the machine is properly plugged in and that the outlet is functioning properly. You may also want to check the fuse or circuit breaker to ensure that the machine is getting the proper power supply.
  2. Check the heating element: If the heating element on the machine is not functioning properly, it may be preventing the machine from producing cotton candy. You may need to replace the heating element to fix the issue.
  3. Check the spinning head: If the spinning head on the machine is not functioning properly, it may not be able to spin the sugar into cotton candy. You may need to replace the spinning head to fix the issue.
  4. Check the floss bucket: If the floss bucket on the machine is not properly seated or is damaged, it may be preventing the machine from producing cotton candy. Make sure that the floss bucket is properly seated and check for any visible damage.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it is possible that there is a deeper malfunction or defect with the machine that will need to be addressed by a professional. In this case, you may want to consider contacting the manufacturer or a customer service representative for further assistance.

Need instrution

You put sugar or "floss" in the center of the spinner. When it heats up (takes a while) a spider web like material forms in the bowl. You take a "paper cone" and twirl it around to collect this which is the cotton candy! Find a party store to get the cones and you can also get the "floss" which is sugar with a bit of coloring and sometimes glycerin.

Clean the spinner after use.
