Uneven Heating / Distribution Issue
Microwave cooking is uneven; some areas of food are very hot while others remain cold.

Possible Causes
Turntable not rotating properly, incorrect cookware, food not stirred or rotated, low magnetron output
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
User adjustments:
- Ensure the turntable and roller ring are correctly installed and rotating.
- Use microwave-safe, round containers and avoid deep, narrow dishes.
- Stir or rotate food halfway through cooking, especially for dense items.
- Cover food with a microwave-safe lid or wrap to retain steam.
If uneven heating is severe even with proper technique, the magnetron output may be reduced and professional diagnosis is recommended.
