The tray of microwave ovens performs an important function — it turns the plate with food so that it heats up evenly. If this function does not work, then the food is heated or cooked only from two sides. There are many reasons why the plate does not spin in the microwave.
So, if the plate has stopped rotating, then you can use the microwave, but it is unlikely that the food is evenly heated. Because it will be statically in one place. Many people are not satisfied with this work of the equipment. Therefore, you need to know why the plate is not spinning.
Inattention of users
Probably, the plate is not spinning for some minor reason. Inspect the equipment, paying attention to such nuances:
- The dishes in the chamber are excessively large. In contact with the walls, it does not allow the plate to spin. Therefore, the pallet on wheels is completely blocked or rotation occurs in jerks.
- A large volume of products is placed on the plate, and the electric motor simply cannot rotate under this weight. It is required to remove part of the food placed in the oven, and it will work again.
- Products have fallen out of the container that is in the chamber, and they do not allow the pallet to rotate. Even a small crumb, which is clogged in the wheel, is the reason for stopping the mechanism. Incorrectly selected product sizes can also block the plate. For example, if a very large chicken is thawed, otherwise it can touch the walls of the case. So, the rotation turns out to be intermittent.
- The microwave oven is very dirty. There is serious contamination on the moving parts, this is the reason why the pallet does not rotate. Clean the equipment and it will start working again.
- Probably, after cleaning the rotating pallet, it was incorrectly put in place. If the crests of the plate do not hit the grooves, then it will not move. To fix this, it is only necessary to correct the design.
