Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave before handling the turntable components.
User-level checks:
- Remove the glass turntable and roller ring. Clean them thoroughly and ensure no food debris is lodged under the coupler.
- Inspect the plastic coupler that fits over the motor shaft for cracks or rounding.
- Reassemble and test. If the error persists and the plate does not move, internal service is needed.
Technician-level checks:
- Access the underside of the cavity to reach the turntable motor.
- Test the motor for continuity and correct resistance; replace if open or seized.
- Check for supply voltage at the motor when the turntable should be running.
- Inspect the coupler and support wheels; replace worn parts.
Note: While a non-rotating turntable may still allow some heating, uneven cooking and hot spots can occur. Repair is recommended.
