iFixit has said based on its teardown of the Taylor C709 Soft Serve Freezer, the breakages are likely driven by its tendency to overheat.

Yes, it's called the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

This is designed to stop people from fixing commercial equipment protected by copyright law - in this case, McDonald's ice cream machines. These are made by a company called Taylor, and an agreement it has with the fast food chain means only it is allowed to fix them. Another firm, Kytch, has reportedly made a product that can read the error codes the machines spit out, but iFixit claims they are banned from use in McDonald's restaurants.In the teardown video, iFixit's sustainability director Elizabeth Chamberlain said it would love to make its own device that can read the codes,"but we can't because of copyright law".

The video, which features the same model used by McDonald's, a Taylor C709 Soft Serve Freezer, shows it spit out what iFixit said were"nonsensical" codes that were otherwise impossible to discern.
