Possible Causes
Turntable not rotating, Damaged stirrer fan or cover, Overloaded or improperly arranged food, Low magnetron output
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
User checks:
- Ensure the turntable and roller ring are correctly installed and rotating.
- Do not overload the cavity; spread food evenly on the plate.
- Stir or rotate food halfway through heating for large portions.
Technical checks (qualified):
- Inspect the stirrer fan (if fitted in the ceiling) and its cover for damage or obstruction.
- Replace a damaged stirrer cover or fan assembly.
If uneven heating persists with a working turntable and stirrer, the magnetron may be weakening and require replacement.
