Daewoo Uneven Heating / Stirrer or Turntable Issue

Microwave runs but food heats unevenly (hot spots and cold spots)

Possible Causes

Turntable not rotating properly, Damaged or stuck stirrer fan (if equipped), Incorrect cookware, Overloaded cavity

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use only microwave-safe cookware and avoid metal.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Verify turntable rotation: Ensure the tray rotates smoothly during operation. Fix any turntable motor or roller ring issues.
  • 2. Check stirrer (if present): Some Daewoo models use a stirrer fan behind a cover in the ceiling. If the cover is warped or the fan is stuck, heating can be uneven. Have a technician inspect and replace the stirrer motor or cover if needed.
  • 3. Use proper cookware: Use round, microwave-safe dishes and avoid stacking food too thickly.
  • 4. Stir and rotate food: Pause cooking to stir or rearrange food for more even heating.
