• The tray not rotating properly
• Uneven heating or cooking of food

• Turntable won't turn or only turns intermittently
• Jerky movement or tray requires a push to start
• Humming, grinding, or clicking from beneath the tray area

• Disconnect power by unplugging the microwave or switching off the breaker before servicing; microwaves contain high-voltage components that can retain a charge
• Remove the glass tray and support ring before accessing the motor
• Access is typically from the bottom panel; note wire connections and motor orientation before removal
• After installation, ensure the coupler engages properly and the tray spins freely
