Why does your freezer not freeze?

Answer 1

There is air whipped into the ice cream base. The air prevents solid freezing. If you just put the ice cream base in a freezer with no agitation, it would freeze into a solid block. One of the main differences between premium ice cream and the cheap stuff is the amount of air incorporated into the base, the other is the amount of butterfat.

Answer 2

A lot of things help keep ice cream from freezing solid, air in the mix, fat in the cream, sugar, but also most ice cream manufacturers use a type of gum, such as xanthar gum to work as a stabilizing agent and to prevent the formation of ice crystals.

Answer 3

the temperature in the freezer is not cold enough, try turning it up

Answer 4

The ice cream will not freeze properly because the additives in the ice cream lower its freezing point.
