Possible Causes
Turntable not rotating properly, Food not arranged or stirred, Low magnetron output, Damaged stirrer fan (if equipped)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Use microwave-safe containers and avoid overfilling dishes.
- Verify turntable operation: Ensure the turntable rotates smoothly during cooking.
- Use proper cookware: Use round, shallow microwave-safe dishes and cover food to retain steam.
- Stir and rotate: Pause cooking to stir or rearrange food for more even heating.
- Stirrer inspection (advanced): Some GE models use a stirrer fan behind a cover in the cavity ceiling. If the cover is warped or the fan is not turning, a technician should inspect and replace the stirrer assembly.
