turntable in my hamilton beach microwave stopped spinning, so my food cooks unevenly, what's wrong?

— asked by Sam

Quick answer: The turntable motor has failed or the drive coupler is damaged. Food rotates via a motor under the cavity.

Diagnosis

The turntable motor has failed or the drive coupler is damaged. Food rotates via a motor under the cavity.

How to Fix It

Remove the glass tray and roller ring. Inspect the drive coupler on the floor of the microwave. If cracked or worn, replace it. If intact, test the turntable motor for power and continuity.

If That Didn't Work

Ensure the glass tray is properly seated on the roller ring. Misalignment can prevent rotation.

Heads Up

Do not operate the microwave without the turntable components. It can cause arcing and damage.
