Possible Causes

Turntable not rotating correctly, Incorrect cookware or food placement, Low magnetron output, Faulty stirrer fan (if fitted)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Use only microwave-safe containers.

  • Step 1 – Check turntable operation: Ensure the glass tray and roller ring are correctly seated and rotating smoothly.
  • Step 2 – Use proper containers: Avoid thick or metal-trimmed dishes. Use shallow, microwave-safe containers and spread food evenly.
  • Step 3 – Stir and rotate: Pause cooking to stir or rearrange food for more even heating.
  • Step 4 – Internal components: If the turntable and usage are correct but heating is still very uneven, the magnetron or internal stirrer system may be weak or failing and should be checked by a technician.
