Dry or dirty roller ring, Debris under glass tray, Worn turntable motor bearings, Misaligned coupler
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave before cleaning or adjusting the turntable mechanism.
- Step 1 – Clean components: Remove the glass tray and roller ring. Wash them in warm soapy water, dry thoroughly, and wipe the cavity floor.
- Step 2 – Inspect for damage: Check the roller ring for flat spots or cracks and the coupler for wear.
- Step 3 – Refit correctly: Ensure the roller ring is seated properly and the glass tray engages fully with the coupler.
- Step 4 – Motor replacement (advanced): If noise persists and seems to come from the motor, replace the turntable motor.
Note: Do not lubricate the roller ring with oil or grease; it should run dry and clean.
