This is a list of known common problems with this machine...


Most common gripe with this game is that the 'Deep Freeze' magnet dosen't work, or at least works only occaisionally. This can just be caused by a buildup of dirt around the magnet or a badly levelled playfield. However, it's more likely due to something being wrong with the magnet - but no-one seems to have come up with the definitive solution. If you know a good solutions - please leave me a message here.

The slingshots are less likely to be broken on due to the positioning of the ramp supports. Broken plastics are most likely around the drop-down targets and pop-bumpers. The plastic over the drop-down targets is usually broken.

The twin ball diverter right at the back of the game on top of the main ramp can cause problems by not diverting the ball correctly due to wear on the moving parts. This can be fixed by ensuring the metal bar holding the diverters is pulled fully by the diverter plunger - this can be done either by packing or reinforcing the hole connecting the bar to the diverter plunger.

Balls launched into play from the manual plunger do not go fully up the main ramp - if balls are launched well but do not make it up the ramp this is likely rectified by adjusting the bent-piece of metal at the end of the shooter lane (just beneath the top-right flipper), or could be a problem with the plunger.
