How It Works
Under the turntable, a small motor drives the rotation. But that motor can’t carry the full weight of the plate and your food — that’s where the support ring steps in. The small rollers on the ring reduce friction and stabilize the tray so it glides smoothly. Every time you reheat leftovers or your morning coffee, that quiet ring is working behind the scenes.
When It’s Missing or Damaged
Lose it or break it, and you’ll know instantly. The tray may wobble, skip, or refuse to spin at all. That means uneven heating, hot-and-cold spots, and food that’s frustratingly inconsistent. Unless your microwave uses a stirrer fan (a rarity), that ring is absolutely essential.
