Motor
| Electrical failures: Motor may overheat and fail
| Product will not mix the ice cream, and the product may not have good consistency.
| 8 | Motor may overheat when the ice cream starts solidifying. The increased viscosity of the ice cream may add too much torque on the motor. | 6 | Testing with different types of ice cream and find the point when the load applied is too high | 3 | 124 | Find a controller that will turn off the motor once the torque applied to the motor gets too high | Motor Manufacturer | Integrate a current sensor into the design | 8 | 1 | 3 | 24

Mechanical Failure: Gear train may strip
| The rotation of the motor will not be transferred to the product | 8 | The increased friction in between the separate gears can cause the gears to strip | 2 | Testing the durability of the gears | 3 | 48
