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.
