How to Repair My Whirlpool Microwave Turntable

The Whirlpool microwave turntable is one of the most important parts of the machine. The turntable rotates the food so it gets an even amount of heat while cooking. The turntable often gets food in it or comes off of the track. This can be fixed by adjusting and cleaning the rollers on the bottom of the microwave. You don't have to be a Whirlpool technician to get your microwave working again. You can do it yourself.
