Possible Causes

Turntable not rotating correctly, Damaged or missing roller ring, Faulty stirrer fan (if fitted), Incorrect cookware or overloading

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before handling internal moving parts.

  • Step 1 – Check turntable operation: Ensure the glass tray and roller ring are correctly positioned and rotate smoothly during cooking.
  • Step 2 – Avoid overloading: Do not overcrowd the tray; arrange food in a ring shape and stir or turn halfway through cooking.
  • Step 3 – Inspect stirrer (advanced): Some Indesit models use a stirrer fan behind a ceiling cover. If this fan is jammed or not turning, heating will be uneven. Inspect and clean the area.
  • Step 4 – Replace worn parts: Replace a damaged roller ring, coupler, or stirrer motor as needed.

Tip: Use microwave‑safe, shallow dishes and cover food to improve heat distribution.
