How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the microwave before inspecting the turntable mechanism.

User-level steps:

  • Check for obstructions: Remove the glass tray and roller ring. Clean any spilled food or debris from the cavity floor.
  • Inspect parts: Examine the turntable coupler (the plastic piece that fits into the tray) for cracks or wear. Check the roller ring wheels for flat spots or damage.
  • Reassemble and test. If the tray still does not turn and E82 appears, the motor or wiring may be faulty.

Technician-level steps:

  • Access the underside of the cavity to reach the turntable motor.
  • Test the motor for continuity and apply rated voltage to confirm operation (off the appliance, using proper safety procedures).
  • Inspect wiring and connectors to the motor.
  • Replace the motor or coupler as needed.
