Possible Causes

Failed turntable motor, Broken or stripped turntable coupler, Misaligned or dirty roller ring, Faulty turntable on/off switch (if equipped)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

User-level checks:

  • Remove the glass tray and roller ring. Clean both thoroughly and wipe the cavity floor.
  • Inspect the turntable coupler (plastic piece on the motor shaft) for cracks or wear.
  • Reinstall the roller ring and tray, ensuring they sit flat and centered.
  • Start a short cycle and observe if the tray now rotates.

If the tray still does not turn:

  • The turntable motor or coupler is likely faulty and must be replaced from underneath the cavity by a technician.
