Microwave runs but food heats unevenly; some areas boiling while others are cold.

Safety first: Use only microwave-safe cookware.

• Step 1 – Verify turntable operation: Ensure the tray rotates smoothly during cooking. If not, see turntable motor troubleshooting.
• Step 2 – Stir and rotate: Pause cooking to stir food and rotate containers manually for more even heating.
• Step 3 – Use appropriate cookware: Use round, shallow dishes and avoid stacking multiple containers.
• Step 4 – Magnetron check: If uneven heating persists despite proper use, the magnetron may be weakening and should be tested and replaced by a technician.
