How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave before handling internal parts.
User-level steps:
- Remove and inspect: Take out the glass tray and roller ring. Inspect the turntable coupler for cracks or wear.
- Clean: Clean the cavity floor and roller ring to remove grease and debris.
- Test without load: With the tray removed, run the microwave briefly and observe if the coupler turns. If it does not, the motor may be faulty.
Technician-level steps:
- Access the underside of the cavity to reach the turntable motor.
- Test the motor for continuity and replace if open or seized.
