Telefunken Turntable Drive Failure

Microwave turntable does not rotate, but heating still occurs; no error code on display.

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, Broken or stripped turntable coupler, Damaged roller ring, Obstruction under glass tray

Safety first: Unplug the microwave.

Check for obstruction: Remove the glass tray and roller ring. Clean the cavity floor and ensure nothing is blocking the coupler.
Inspect roller ring and tray: Replace the roller ring if cracked or deformed. Ensure the glass tray sits properly on the coupler.
Test motor: Access the underside of the microwave and test the turntable motor for continuity. Replace if open or seized.
Replace coupler: If the coupler is cracked or no longer grips the motor shaft, install a new Telefunken-compatible coupler.
