Ikea Microwave turntable not turning
An Ikea microwave turntable is not turning, the turntable motor is the most likely cause. Unplug the microwave, access the motor, and use a multimeter to check it for continuity. Replace the motor if it tests open. If the motor is good, inspect the glass tray drive coupling and glass tray support for cracks, stripping, or other damage. Gently pull each part from the drive motor shaft to check for wear. If the motor is not receiving power, the user control and display board or main control board may be defective, although either board is less likely than the motor. Also confirm that the turntable option has not been turned off, if your Ikea microwave has that setting. A microwave turntable not turning can leave hot spots because food is not rotating through the microwave energy, so avoid relying on it until repaired. Enter your model number to find the exact turntable motor, glass tray drive coupling, glass tray support, or control board for your microwave. If the repair requires opening the outer cabinet, remember that the high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after unplugging. It must be properly discharged, so use a qualified technician if you are not familiar with capacitor discharge procedures.
