Possible Causes

Turntable not rotating, Incorrect cookware, Overloaded cavity, Magnetron output weakening

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • Verify turntable operation: Ensure the turntable rotates smoothly. Repair turntable issues if present.
  • Use proper cookware: Use round, microwave-safe dishes. Avoid very tall or irregularly shaped containers.
  • Stir and rotate: Pause cooking to stir or rearrange food for more even heating.
  • Load size: Avoid overfilling the cavity; large dense items may require lower power and longer time.

Note: If uneven heating worsens over time even with correct use, the magnetron may be weakening and require professional diagnosis.
