Turntable Doesn't Rotate in Neff H5642 (1000w)

It's done this before. Rotating by hand and a bit of WD40 seems to have freed it up in the past, but not this time.

Can turn the spindle by hand, but it feels quite stiff.

Ideas, please, gratefully received!

Dave

I'm sure your motor has failed.

Sometimes it a broken post inside the motor, if you like to tinker.

Otherwise I would contact Neff's service people for a spare.

Microwave turn table quit rotating

With the model number, we may have been able to give you a link to the actual service manual. Without it, we can only give you general answers.
The first thing I would suggest is a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.

If that doesn't work, leave it unplugged for about 5 minutes, then try it again.

The turntable system consists of the motor, the coupler, the turntable support with rollers, and the tray.

You can see and hear a video of how a turntable motor should sound when you rotate it by hand.

If yours is not set to be off via the control panel, and it won't rotate or it sounds like it's grinding, etc., you may have a bad motor or plastic coupler.

To replace either, you need to unplug power, then remove the bottom cover of the oven.

In some brands, you have to cut the motor cover off with snips, then use a screw when reassembling it.

Microwave turns on but doesn't heat. Turntable does not rotate

The magnetron (the part that heats the food) is probably done, they tend to go out if the fuse didn't blow and it usually isn't worth fixing as the cost of the magnetron is almost what it would cost to buy a new microwave.
Sorry for the bad news.

Sounds like the turntable motor is burned out or you may need a new coupler which is a plastic piece that sits on the motor shaft under the round glass tray. There is no button to make this work, it should rotate automatically when you select your time.

Revolving plate no longer rotates . All else works, it continu;es to cook, but we need to move the items of food from time to time

Remove the plate, and check if the square shaped gear that normally spins the turntable is rotating.

If it is rotating, then replace the turntable gear.

If it is not rotating that means that the motor that spins the microwave turntable does not rotate, and must be replaced.

Since it's less than one year old, it should be fully covered under warranty, as long as the problem is not due to grease or liquid spilled down into the motor.
