Siemens HF26066GB plate is moving when door closed and not moving when open

When the Siemens Microwave oven is not being used the plate rotates inside. Once the microwave door is opened the plate stops rotating. When the food/drink is placed on the plate and the microwave heat setting is turned on the plate remains stationary which obviously results in uneven heating.

Have a shop look at this---there usually is a recessed safety switch inside the jam that will prevent the unit from working with door open--sounds like the problem may be with it.

SOURCE: I have a Siemens microwave

I wonder if this is an inverter-based model... I ask because on Panasonic/Quasar units, a problem with the magnetron or inverter will cause this very symptom.

If so, because of the voltages and currents involved, I do not recommend that someone without experience attempt repairs on an inverter circuit.

I would contact the manufacturer at the number in your owner's manual to find the nearest authorized servicer.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

SOURCE: Microwave door does not shut tightly

If your oven door has gotten bent or warped (maybe you rested something heavy on it…), you need to remove the door, disassemble it, and straighten it. You can lift most oven doors off of their hinges by opening the door several inches to its first "stop," and lifting the entire door straight up.

If the hinges have become worn, damaged, or bent, you probably need to replace them. We recommend replacing both hinges at the same time, to prevent uneven wear of the undamaged hinge.

The glass plate of the oven is not rotating, what should I do.is it safe to run the oven like this.

The motor driving the turntable is faulty, using the oven like this will not damage the oven, the food will not be cooked evenly though. Open the door and rotate the food occasionally to ensure allround cooking, close door and continue cooking.

I have a Goodmans Microwave ME20W in perfect order except someone has misused it and the paint under the rotating plate is blistered causing the oven to crackle in use. There is also one small area of...

Yes they can be cleaned. prepared and painted with enamel paint.
The reason the paint comes off is usually due to condensation as the oven is left with the door closed after use.

Jenn-Air Microwave vent grill opens and closes

I have this same problem occasionally. Pull the vent grill open and look for a white cam that rotates when the microwave is on. To the right of that cam, there are two gray switches. The bottom switch should have a red tab that pops out. When the vent grill opens and closes continuously, the red tab is stuck in. Take a flat screwdriver or tooth pick and push gently in on the red tab to release it. It must get stuck due to grease or dirt accumulation. Good luck.

Daewoo microwave that won't cook

More than likely a door switch inside the unit is misalligned or faulty. Crack it open and check for proper allignment and good open/closed circuits with a VOM.
