McDonald's ice cream machines are known for their frequent breakdowns, mainly due to strict copyright laws that limit repair options exclusively to licensed technicians.
A recent federal ruling now allows technicians to bypass locks on McFlurry machines, increasing the pool of professionals who can fix them, benefiting the right to repair movement.
iFixit previously highlighted methods to unlock McFlurry machines for repairs, but McDonald's had discouraged franchise owners from employing those techniques until now.
The ruling is viewed as a victory for the right to repair community, as it encourages more access to repairing widely used machines in McDonald's.
