Microwave interior light comes on and timer counts down, but turntable does not rotate; heating may be uneven.

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 turntable coupler, Worn or jammed roller ring, Loose motor wiring

Safety first: Unplug the microwave.

Check tray and rollers: Remove the glass tray and roller ring. Clean both and the cavity floor. Ensure the roller ring is not cracked and rolls smoothly.
Inspect coupler: Check the plastic coupler for cracks or wear. Replace if damaged.
Test motor: Access the motor from underneath, test for continuity, and replace if open or seized.
