Turntable does not rotate, but microwave heats normally.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed turntable motor, Stripped or cracked coupler, Disconnected motor wiring, Turntable function turned off (if model has option)

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before accessing the bottom panel.

Check settings: Some Oster models allow you to turn the turntable off. Verify that the turntable function is enabled.
Inspect tray and coupler: Ensure the glass tray is properly seated on the coupler and not overloaded with heavy dishes.
Test motor: Remove the bottom cover to access the motor. Test for continuity with a multimeter; replace the motor if open.
Replace coupler if needed: If the motor shaft spins but the coupler does not, install a new coupler.
