I to got mine at walmart. It is the kind where you put the container in the freezer and don;t use ice and rock salt. I love it. I don't remember what it was called but it said it was some kind of italian design or maker. It ran $35.00 and I would recommend getting it if you can. Definetley return your old one to walmart and get a new one.

You do need to watch the ice creams made LC, I made up a batch last weekend and it only took 5 minutes to freeze up.
