A. We will skip the detailed instructions on building wiring and electricity. Suffice it to say, you were asking too much of your plug. When you use our machines, you want to have as dedicated a circuit as possible. Most homes and other buildings are wired with either 15 amp or 20 amp circuits. Sometimes there are several plugs strung on one circuit. You don’t want to try to run a frozen drink machine that pulls anywhere from 12 amps to 19 amps on the same circuit with your refrigerator, deep freeze, window air conditioner, musical equipment or anything else that pulls a lot of electricity. You especially don’t want to plug in anything else into the same outlet with the frozen drink machine. See our troubleshooting guide for more suggestions to help you make your party a success!
