05 - Turntable option turned off
When the microwave turntable turns, the food is cooked evenly. If the turntable stops turning there may be hot spots where the microwaves are concentrated in one area. If the turntable is not turning, confirm the turntable option is turned on (if applicable).
06 - Microwave Control Board
The control might be defective. However, the turntable motor is much more likely to be at fault. First, check the incoming power to the turntable motor. If the turntable motor is not getting power, the main control board may be at fault.
