Microwave shows E08; turntable may not rotate and cooking stops.

Safety: Unplug the microwave before handling parts inside the cavity.

User-level steps:

• 1. Remove and inspect glass tray: Take out the glass turntable and roller ring. Clean both with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
• 2. Check for obstructions: Inspect the cavity floor for food debris, broken glass, or warped plastic that could block rotation.
• 3. Inspect the coupler: Look at the plastic turntable coupler that fits into the motor shaft. Ensure it is not cracked, melted, or loose.
• 4. Test without load: With the tray and ring removed, plug in the microwave and briefly start a cook cycle. Look through the window to see if the coupler turns. Stop immediately after checking.

Technician-level checks:

• Access the underside of the cavity and test the turntable motor for correct resistance.
• Check wiring to the motor and the control relay on the PCB.
• Replace the turntable motor or coupler if defective.

If E08 persists and the coupler does not rotate, professional replacement of the motor is recommended.
